Hello!

September 1, 2010
Dear Family
That was a short one! But thats ok. Sorry I havent sent any pictures yet, I dont want to send them by email because I might get a virus on my sd card. Elder Clark has gotten 2. Ill mail them when I get them developed. You can still dear elder me. but it is mailed from salt lake, and probably doesnt get here any faster.

So good news! I got my first sunburn today! we went on a hike to a waterfall up in busay. It is small, but the area is so beautiful. It is all hills covered in trees and plants, and off in the distance between hills you can see Cebu. So beautiful! And I get to see it every day! I love it here.

We have one investigator with a baptisimal date, Richie. He is 13 and lives with his uncle who is in the bishopric. Irene is 16. She really wants to be baptized but her father hasnt allowed her yet. She ran away from home because her father is crazy. He lives 2 hours down the trail from where she lives in the mountains. hopefully we will here back soon. Our other investigators are Eric, Archie, Erwin, Chilito, and Kelly and Esmay, sisters. We have more that we are working on, but those are the progressing investigators.

You should send me pictures in your emails! I love you all! take care! The Lord is watching over me here.
Love you all!
Elder Schenk

Hello!
I tried a new fruit the other day. It is a little red ball that has long tenticle things coming off it. you pull really hard and the skin splits open exposing a clearish white fruit with a seed that look like an almond, but definitely doesnt taste like one. It is good! we bought squid today. that will be fun to eat. I ate dugot dugot at a members house last week. Dugot means blood. They boil pig blood till it gets hard and chewey and then put it over rice. verry tastey. It smells like poo.

Love you,
Elder Schenk
