Letter #82 (27th Feb, 2013)

Hey all,
Yeah I got my box. It is awesome! packed full of yummies. Still have to get the Cherry ripes to the C's... next week that will happen. This week has been great and successful. Elder R is an amazing missionary and has taught me so much this past week. He is from Davao city. He is batch with Elder H and has a great teaching style which I have learnt so much from. 4 missionaries in a house is fun. Elder K is from Fiji, but went to college (or high school?) in the US some where. we are starting to get fed more and we don't really cook much anymore in the new house. We just eat fast foods.... no good.
The mission getting split is the most exciting news here in the mission right now. It will happen on July 1st and will be split as such. North of Cebu and Bohol is Cebu east... south Cebu and Negros is Cebu Mission. And President Schmutz has promised my batch that we will not be put into the Cebu east mission, but will all leave together from the same mission.
We are working to help our less actives be retained in the ward when they come back and have been working on helping the members and leaders to become truly converted themselves so that they can help their brothers and sisters to stay in the church once they come back, and then also on getting the home teaching and visiting teaching happening in the ward. We still don't have an EQ pres and then our second counselor in the bishopric had a stroke a few weeks back and is paralyzed on his right side, so he is on the path to recovery at the moment. Lots of challenges but we are doing what we need to to get things happening so that the work continues to move forward.
Not much else really to share this week. Spent most of my time writing to President...
but miss you all,
love you tons
Elder Taylor Addison Cox
