Exchanges Kami!

Who heard the news? Probably all of you by now but I am super excited to be able to talk to my family every week. This week was a weird change but a welcome one to be able to call my family! The time difference is crazy though. Being 15 hours ahead is a little rough on my family but we'll figure out the best way to do it. Obviously, I had exchanges this week but I'll get to that in a minute. Congrats on your mission call Anna Low! New Zealand is going to get a great missionary! Rachel, I'm very glad your papers are in and I can't wait to hear where you are going! For those of you who have things I should be congratulating you about, Congrats! I would love to hear about all the great things going on! Also, shout out to my little sister for being a solo star! You're doing great! Be prepared for a lot of pictures this week.

We spent a few days in San Nicolas this week because that is where the hospital/doctor's office is for Elder Tuiaki's ear infection. I had exchanges with Elder Clark again except this time, I was in Pasuquin with him and Elder Tuiaki was in Laoag with Elder Cabasal which meant I had to lead the area. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so that was kind of nice. We worked really hard of course. Valentine's day was funny as a missionary. Oh, yeah, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! The members here in the Philippines are so nice! We were eating the other day and some members started talking to us and ended up paying for our meal! We should the sisters around their area a bit more this week so there will be pictures of that. There was a cool art show at the mall we were picking up Elder Tuiaki's prescription at. There was a lot of really good art work there. Pres. and Sis. Peterson visited our sacrament meeting again and guess who got to play the piano?! ME. It was rough but it went well enough. I'm just glad for the members in our branch who sing really loud. We worked with some members for the rest of Sunday. We then traveled to Pagudpud this morning for fun. It was a great week!

That's about it for this email. For those of you wondering, yes, I will keep sending out weekly emails. I know it means a lot to some of you, so I'll keep you involved in my life too!
