How are you???

FREAKING EXHAUSTED!!! but, other than that i am doing good!!!! it has been another slow week, we now have a teaching pool of 2 solid families, and a ton of LA's... it is just starting to get a little harder........ we need more tudloans(*people being taught)

What was the best part about the last week???

ummm... we finally were able to give the Barangan family an IBD and they accepted it!!!! 1/10/15!!!! i hope that we are able to help them get there!!!!!!

How was the ward Christmas party???

it was super fun, my memory card though..... it has a virus and deleted everything................. freak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had so many pictures and stuff to send this week..... it is just super irritating!!!!

What are your plans for Christmas Day???

we are going to have work just like normal!!! but for dinner we are going to go to the Barangan family!!!

How is Elder Head???

HE is doing very good, stressing a little about the language but is progressing a ton!!!! he is BISDAK(fluent in cebuano) already!!!! it is awesome how good he is at the language!!!

Are our prayers softening hearts or do we need to pray harder and who should we pray for???

1. Barangan Family still they are still getting ready for their baptism on 1/10/15
2. Frances Ortiz she is also planning on being baptized on 1/10/15... She just needs a solid testimony of the BOM

What, other than writing to us, is the best part about P day???

RUNNING AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN WITH HIS/HER HEAD CUT OFF..... THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST FUN!!!!!

You mentioned you and Elder Head blessed the Sacrament.  Was the Cebuano language version already in your brain???

YEAH!!! i want to be able to do it in cebuano whenever i bless the sacrament at home now. i have only heard cebuano version for the last year.... it was just normal for me...

Do you think in Cebuano or English more???

honestly i have to translate have the stuff when i email into english, because i think in cebuano a lot more, i have dreams in cebuano, and it is just weird!!!

Are Filipino celebrations of Christmas a lot different than typical American Christmas celebrations???

yes, but not much, i dont know if they believe/ or know about Santa!!!!

Anything else you would like to share or that we should know???

nope.... not this week.....

ELDER LARSON THE OLDER's QUESTION:  Whats you biggest mission fear??

i think for me the biggest mission fear is that i will just come home the same as i left, and just not be any different.... just go back to the same things i did before and forget the people that i loved and served... forgetting to really LIVE MY RELIGION!!!
