Still no pictures! Sometimes they are difficult to send from the computers in the Philippines! Riley will have been out 6 months on August 13th! I can't believe it! I miss him so much, but this landmark has come really pretty fast! So even though Riley has been in the Philippines for over 4 months, this is his first transfer! Here is the letter!
Hello family, I hope your all having a blast vacationing and doing cool stuff like that!! I bet Yellow Stone was a blast! When do you go to Lake Powell?? I think its this coming up weekend right?? But that is extremely sad news to hear.. please give my regards to their family. (This was in regard to the passing of our friend's son, Chance Slaymaker. He was just 14 years old) But as for me I did get transferred to a new area. So I won't see the baptism and marriage of Jay Ar and Maricell....but that's okay as long as they get baptized haha! Right now my new area is called Malasiqui its a branch but its a sweet area! My new comps name is Elder Delapaz he is from Bacolod. He is like 26 now so its way weird...just think I'm only 19 years old....blows my mind. Right now I can all ready tell that I will get a ton better at Tagalog here because I have a Filipino companion and all I speak to him is Tagalog!! Sometimes its quiet while we are walking around but its all good!! haha I'm in an area where they speak a dialect called Pangalektok its super hard to learn haha ! Obviously they speak Tagalog but its cool to learn things in different languages!! My last area is all Ilocano so yeah two different dialects now!! I'm pretty sure those will be the only two that I run into on my mission! One cool thing is that an Elder from my batch is in the same house as me his name is Elder Manzione!! Me and him got way close in the MTC and our plan after the mission is to go work at Lake Powell for summer 2015!! We had a sweet investigator come to church yesterday. It was his first time going. He had had a stroke a couple weeks ago and is paralyzed on his entire left side. He can barely walk now. But he found a way to get to church. I have taught him once but I can tell my testimony and the spirit me and Elder Delapaz brought to the lesson gave him the reassurance and faith to go to church. The pictures are way sweet that you sent me!! and I have no idea why the pics I sent didn't work?? I will try again though. But I hope everyone is doing good!! out there in the 801 Don't have too much fun at Lake Powell and yes I do want pictures!! haha love you guys
Elder Hansen
