Yes. Very well. (2/17/13)

First off, can anyone name the movie he quoted for title of this email? Because I can't.  And it's bugging me -ABice

Dear Family and Friends,

It has been one crazy week. Since I am training now and Elder O had been transferred to Candon, it has been crazy. On Tuesday, we had trainers training with President Barrientos and the Assistants. It was great and much more personal since there are only three of us training in this weird transfer. Because of the changes in the MTC times, those missionaries coming next week will have been in the MTC for only six weeks, but our trainees were there for nine. On Thursday, I spent all day in Laoag. Mostly I was just waiting in the APs apartment until it was time for training. That was a rough day just because I knew I was not going to be able to teach anyone that day. But I got to receive training and begin work as a trainer. My companion is Elder Ly, from Utah. He's super energetic and excited to work. I am looking forward to this time as a trainer.

S is getting baptized on Saturday! His mom gave her permission and he had in interview last Saturday. It's all set now and we are looking forward to a good service with lots of the members there. It has been a bit different with teaching since I am now the trainer. It feels weird to always be looked to for what we are going to do next . I am looking forward to the time I get to spend preparing Elder L here in the field and look forward to the day when he gets to have a trainee of his own.

This email is a little late since we had a zone activity. We went to a beach near Laoag and cleaned it up and then played ultimate Frisbee and football. I found out that ultimate Frisbee is much different on a beach that is slanted with a group of people who have mostly never played it. It was still fun though. We tried building a sand castle of the Salt Lake Temple, but we spent most of the time trying to protect it from the water. It seem like a better idea in my head, but it was still fun.

Well I had better close this one up. Time is a bit short because of the activity, but it's alright. Things are going great in Bacarra and I still have quite a bit of time here. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts for me. Keep the faith! Mahal KIta!
