Dad,
Thank you for your prayers for me and for my investigators. I can feel the Lords help and guidance. The weather here is awesome... if you were on vacation. But it is a little hot for a collared shirt and tie with black pants. It rains every few days. Sometimes it rains really hard, like yesterday. It goes from sunny to sprinkling to huge drops dumping down like nothing in Washington. Within a half hour or so it stops, but that is enough to cause the back roads to flood. The road we live on is at the bottom of a little valley and everyone’s garbage goes floating by in the river.

I am healthy. I sleep well at night. No problems there. I am so tired that falling asleep is no problem. We just moved yesterday again. We moved next door to a smaller place owned by the same person. We have an AC now, so I sleep really well now. It was super dirty though. We spent all Monday cleaning. We washed all of the walls and floors. It’s all tile and concrete so you can just hose the whole thing down, but we don’t have a hose. So lots of buckets and sponges. It is nice now.

For pday we go hiking in the bukid. It is so beautiful! We took our district up to the waterfall we hiked last week and then walked all the way down the the river to town. It took around 4 hours. This week we are going to the temple! Only once a month. I love living next to it so much. We have lots of cool stuff in our area.
Investigators.
Ritchie, Irene, Archie all have baptismal dates.
The Luza family is super golden. They are a definite possibility for baptism. They are praying hard for the answer. Erwin is the uncle of one of the members we work with. He has some complications with his wife about joining. Hopefully she will let him. He is a possibility.

I don’t have any time to respond. We have to get to the temple. I love you though. I emailed dad for everyone. Thanks so much for your prayers. I feel so blessed! We have so many good investigators!
Love you so much! Thanks for making me who I am. It is so nice to have been raised the way I was.
Love,
Elder Schenk

Tell Eric I said hi and give Andre a high five. I love you too Eric!
