nothing i love more than someone striving

Hello po nay,

there are certainly some ups and downs in your email mom. 

I've heard the Carolinas are absolutely beautiful so that would be cool if em and eric ended up there! 

wow.. Curtis and Jared are leaving so soon. crazy crazy but they are going to do very well. glad to hear they got the letters i sent them! i personalized em the best i could but they are twins soooooo

glad you read the talk i suggested to you!!  i'm reminded of Dad's words at Emilys wedding when he expressed gratitude to Mike and Susan  (Eric's parents. is that right?) for showing a good example of a healthy and devoted marriage and i would like to echo that for you and dad too! Salamat po :) 

oh a garage at the lake! i would love to help him with that when i get home.

Emily and Natasha are allowed to get pregnant on septmeber 15 and on wards btw :) 

did lance fibke get a mission call?

not much time this week so i'll start with a quote from a wise tricycle driver of over 30 years:

"kung walang mosipag, walang mangyayari" (if your not hardworking, nothing will happen)

another from the Cauayan first branch Elders Quormn:

"TLC. Tender Love and Care." apparently that is all we need! 

something great that happened this week is i went on splits with a brand new american and it had to be one of the funnest days on my mission. this Elder, Elder West, really impresses me. he showed such genuine love and care to people he has never met before and will probably never see again. even tho he really couldn't understand much, he gave his full attention to the lesson and is just striving! nothing i love more than someone striving. He also is just having fun, knows why he's there and who he works for. this day with that elder is honestly something i really needed to smarten me up a bit. blessed.

next week i got some news for you guys but i wont tell you rn :)

Elder Kearl
