May 11th - Happy mother's day Mom

Elder Brown finally able to Skype with us about 1 am Utah time which was their P-day (Monday) about their noon time.  He sort of struggled to remember a few English words.  His Tagalog is improving and could hear the accent a little heavy.  He appeared to be happy, healthy and still got that great sense of humor.  He's currently serving in Batan island and him and his companion are the only missionaries in that little island.  There's no buses or cars in the island because all the roads are so narrow.  They walked everywhere, food is great, people are nice to them and he loves them so much.  There are about 45-55 members in their little branch.  He shared with us some of the fun time he had with his trainer, Elder Lee-Lo.  At the end of our Skype, he bore his testimony in the Tagalog language.

 Some weird abandoned mansion looking home. It's used to store carbon bags now

 Us and little Trish!  She's always so happy and cheerful.  She's awesome!

 Me and Elder Raven

 Me and my man Lawrence!  He's 9 years old, recent convert

 District activity day

 Cagsawa and the Mayon Volcano.  The Volcano erupted and covered this area we are on.  We are on top of corpses and where the main floor of the church was.  This building is like the bell tower.  That's why there's a lot of rocks.
