Letter #39 (May 2nd, 2012)

Hey all, My week has been great! My new companion is amazing! He is the most amazing teacher I have met. His lessons are just so wonderfully presented and with clarity. Elder Dela Cerna is from Davao and his family are all members. I now have no batch members in my zone and I think I am the only one from my batch on Negros at the moment...(I'll find out tomorrow at zone conference if that's true or not...) Bitaw (true that)... the week has gone fast... every week feels faster than the last and I passed 9 months the other day... I dont know where the time is going! But we are working hard and making the most of it. This week has been good in terms of work despite the small amount we were able to get done. We have completely rearranged our schedule for the zone conference and to fit in some of our new investigators. We have 5 investigators now and hope to have 3 more by the end of the week (thats our goal)... and have been working on member referrals. Elder Dela Cerna is amazing! (I know i reapeated myself, but thats because he is)... and if you want to know what he looks like... He is the pinoy Superman! No joke... when i finally send a photo of him next week you will so agree. He has really helped me to push myself and to improve these last few days, in terms of teaching and also I started to exercise again. (after looking in the mirror and seeing how fat i am getting and losing all my tone.) I now practise arnis (thats the stick fighting that the Sierra's do) every morning, combined with my boxing exercises (but without weights) and pushups. Finally I got the pictures to work after 20mins of loading and reloading the stupid things... cut my time for writing things but it worked So there is the baptisms from last last Saturday, one of the district before the transfer and one of our last FHE with a few of us guys that were there. I don't really have much else for this email so the next na lang. Miss you all, Love you all too, Elder Taylor Addison Cox *********************************************************************************************************************** Terri here: Just a short email as he was having trouble trying to load his photos! And for some reason the blogs are coming out weird, and not in paragraphs like I put them in!! Hopefully I will figure out how they changed it and fix it for next time!
