The week was seriously terrible and guess what I'm transferring again. What the heck, the thing is dumb because me and my comp are both leaving so all the work we have been doing went nowhere because the new missionaries don't know who we have been teaching and yeah I'm just way mad. I don't know what to think because we just had 3 baptisms. I would of been fine to just leave and have my comp stay but we're both leaving so i don't know so i feel like I'm just leaving all my investigators in the dust, and i feel that like all them will just go less active because they are just left there and nobody will help them out. Anyway I'm just way freaking out because of all our investigators.
My comp is good but he is mad too, this is his last transfer.
By the way, in the Philippines we can take naps like from 1 to 2 because that's siesta time and if we went out to work at that time nobody will let us in because they are sleeping or they are eating so don't worry about that.
Sorry, I am upset but I love the people here and then yesterday we just planned for this mission fireside thing and it was going to be great. Talk to you next week.
love you elder heywood

Hello Momma Bear and Family,
Let me know what mission it is, (Pres. Peterson's) my guess is it is the Angeles mission in Luzon close to Manila, tell him I said hello.
So funny story we have this kid that lives in our 5 apartment complex with us, he lives next door and he is 4, His name is Alex, The Spawn of Satan really like the Omen...oh my gosh . So me and my comp are taking a nap and we hear something in the bathroom, I wake up to go see who it is and its ALEX clogging our toilet with toilet paper and I'm like what the heck still kinda waking up and then he yells at me and runs to me, punches me in the manhood. and then runs out of the apartment.
That's it for today, folks...
love elder

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
love you fam
I'm not going to lie, I did miss waking up to chocolate but whatever. Gosh I'm having the best time out here. Having a good comp is so so so so so nice. Everyday is not just a day its another day to try our best to bring people closer to our Savior and if we at least talk to one person we are accomplishing our goal.
ok answers to questions:
I say my prayers in Illongo its actually pretty weird but whatever its going to be tough to speak english when I get back. Actually there is a lot of English in this country but still i can speak English fine but when I do my mind goes blank sometimes and I cant think of a word to save my life haha.
I have the coast in my area just like my last area where I got the sunset pictures; I will take more pictures.
It's sad to see kids here in the Philis; there are these homeless kids that walk around with these different size pieces of PVC pipe all bunched together it looks like a blue man group instrument and they are freaking talented but so sad because that is their living to just play for people and if they make money that day they get food and if they don't they don't. So tell Chris to don't ever whine, seriously. Sounds like a great week kinda crazy with all the travel you did but sounds good. We had our mission tour this week so one of the 70's came to our mission to tour it and then we went to a conference that was great. This mission is the best ever and these people are the best ever. How is grandma doing? Tell Luke to email me I have some questions? who is Luke's dance partner? is she cute? Tell Dana to use her talents to help others so everyone can learn from the dancing thing.
We had a baptism this last week, it was way sweet! This girl has 2 kids and her husband was already a member, oh my her baby is 6 months she is the cutest baby ever. Don't tell anyone I said that.
That is it for this week. Sorry the good stories will have to wait till we talk in person.
love you all

Questions & Answers:
Describe your new living conditions?
So our living conditions are good, just me and Elder Fordham. We have a half size refrigerator and running water but we have a filter hooked up to our faucet. We have only two electric fans and two desks and thatis it. Our bathroom is as big as my shower back home but it also has a sink in the shower, a little weird but whatever, I like it. The water is freakin freezing here though so it feels good when your sweating but when you wake up, oh man, you sure wake up.
Are you eating more healthy food then you did here? Mangoes? Have you gained weight or lost weight?
We eat a lot of tuna, ramen and rice, rice, rice, rice and corned beef and cereal but we don't have fresh milk. We have powder for milk. We eat a lot of bread with just the phili peanut butter on the bread. Oh yeah, we eat a ton of pinapple, oh gosh the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not mango season yet.
What is the leadership in your ward like?
The ward is good, we have 100 attending. Our Bishop tries hard but he doesn't entirely know what to do but that is why we are here to help and that is fine at least he is trying.
Who are you teaching right now?
Our baptism pool is kinda weak right now, so we went tracting for two straight days and found 36 people. We were way stoked of course, not all those people are elect but as long as we try our best and try to help them closer to Christ we did our job. We will see what happens.
Do you wish you could play the piano?
Yes, I wish I could play the piano. Seriously I'm mad at myself for not even trying and not trying hard enough on the guitar. Well I got to go to FHE, sorry this is short.
Tell everyone that big boy loves them and I will write back next week. Goodbye my loveeeeeeee!!!

So the new area is great it was way hard to leave the last area but I love the youth in this new area. We have about 90 people come to church. It was way nice to get out and work this week and meet everyone the work is kinda slow here but hopefully me and my comp, Ned Schneebly can get things going again and bring people closer to baptism. We had 2 baptisms this last Saturday.
In the hospital you just study and we were allowed to watch discovery channel because pres. tobias says he doesnt want us to go crazy. So we watched a lot of documentries and on all the doc. there is a british guy narroting the doc. So for this whole week we just been talking like brits something that keeps us laughing, yeah pretty lame but whatever. My comp and I are having fun though it was kinda a slow week but new week starting tomorrow. I really do love my mission, I miss you guys but its awesome right now; got a great comp thats way funny and smart he really acts like tony stark but looks like ned. I got a great area the people are way loving.
Tell luke to email me i need to get some info from him? Tell dana to just keep having fun and tell Chris to not regret anything and just love his childhood. Congrats kt and aar bear on the house!
love you all,

Hello everyone,
So yes I got transferred; kinda weird week so far. I love my new companion, he is Elder Fordham from Bakersfield California. He looks exactly like Ned Schneebly, like no joke but he has a brain like Tony Stark. He is way funny and way freakin smart. He has like invented a laptop that is normal but then it can fold down and you can put it in your like sunday shirt pocket. I have no clue and I guess he has rebuilt 2 cars already by himself like this kid is nuts but way funny. I think we're going to have a great transfer. I can just tell. He finishes in April so he is almost done but thats my new comp.
My new area is cool still in the city its called Magsunay. Its actually really close to my last area, I will still miss the people in my last area because they are just awesome. It was hard to leave, I'm not going to lie... a couple tears but my new area seems great except I havent really worked in my area yet. We were at the hospital for 5 days right after transfer day. My new comp wasn't feeling good so the office elders took us to the hospital and later we figured out my comp is way dehydrated. They pumped fluid filled with electrolytes but then he began to feel worse . 2 days later we're still in the hospital and they finally figure out that he has 2 kidney stones and they had to put a cathiter in because they don't have laser tech here like they do America. Holy crap that cathiter was freaking huge. I felt so bad for the guy but during the 5 days we figured out that we are really similar and just had a good time exchanging stories and all that jazz. Dang, I felt bad for the guy oh yeah and for these whole 5 days I never changed clothes never brushed my teeth, never shaved and I figured out that I can kinda grow a red beard. Well more like strawberry blond but yeah I looked like a homeless person at the end of the hospital adventure and oh my gosh it felt so good to shower and shave again. I smelt terrible and it was nice to sleep on a bed last night. So havent really met any people in my new ward just a couple but they are way nice people and I like them alot already. I just have feeling this transfer will be way fun. That was my week, nothing really to report except everything is good now and all that jazz. I still miss some people in my old area. I saw my last comp today he says everyone was like where is Elder Heywood but oh well the new guy that replaced me is awesome. He is way funny and pretty similar to me so they will love him there.
Ok Dana, KT & Mom,
There is a guy that makes pearl necklaces bracelets and earrings and you can get a necklace bracelet earrings all for 25 to 30 bucks and you can either get a peach pinkish color classic white or black but the black isnt completely solid black i guess it has like hints of green and blue to them depends on the light actually but if you're interested let me know and you got them. They are nice yes they are real. This guy is the man. You can get anything from him but his expertise is pearls, all the missionaries go to this guy. If you're interested that would be cool if you put like that 25 to 30 in my account and boom you got pearls. Oh and about the ties just send them to me and I will take care of them. but yeah thats pretty much it. How is home, how is everything? Everything sounds pretty good so far. Welp, big gulps see ya later. Girls dont forget to tell me what your order is. I cant wait to start working in my new area they seem way nice and I am ready to learn from my companion and have a great time.
love love love

Sounds like a great week and a lot of fun. Oh man I wish I could be there for the wedding and all that jazz. This week was very slow and our worked has slowed down and I dont know this week...I really missed home. I think it was because I knew alot of people were at the wedding and I just wish Icould be there but yeah I miss you guys like crazy.
This week was weird we met a lot of people this week because we have been trying to find new investigators and so we have been talking to a lot of people. I have great stories haha wow wow wow! Just for example we were walking to church and this crazy lady just out of nowhere grabs my hand and won't let go and starts yelling at me in giberish so yeah that was fun. I also realized that all the dog poop you see on the ground isn't really always dog poop its usually little kids poop so yeah thats kinda a fun fact and just so many much more little stories.
Big news is I'm getting transferred but I transfer in 2 days so I don't know where I'm going yet but next week we will know. I'm going to miss my first area so much and my companion. Gosh I hope I get a great comp because your comp just effects you so much. I'm excited for change but way sad too. I am going to miss all the people here so much and just all the investigators that we have now. Nothing really exciting except all the little stories, I will just have to tell all you later in a year in a half. Oh also news: me and my comp are teaching this excommunicated guy he has 5 wives/girlfriends but he told us that he wants to start over and marry his wife right now and be able to be sealed in the temple. So its been kinda cool teaching him and all that. His brother is a stake pres and his dad is in a bishopbric somewhere so he wants to change; that has been a expierence.
I had this one experience this week where I was teaching our new investigator's class at church and I dont know what happened but I just went off teaching about obedience and I dont know who was talking but I was talking really well, I know who was talking but it was just way cool. I don't know if anybody felt what I felt but I felt amazing and just happy but that was my week. I will let you know what happens this week. Send me some pictures of the wedding!!
love ejmh
