Family,
Maayong buntag. Kamusta mo tanan? ok ra diri. Naa ko duha mga investigators nga magpabunyag diri sa Carmen. Usa ka kining transfer sa Oct. 23 ug usa ka next transfer sa nov 6, akong birthday. Excited kaayo ko.

Good morning. How are your all? Good here. I have 2 investigators that will be baptized here in Carmen. One this transfer on Oct 23 and one next transfer on Nov. 6, my birthday. I am really excited.

Our email time is now only 30 min to read, write the president, and then write our families, so my emails will be getting shorter. The ocean here in Carmen is really beautiful. There aren’t really any nice beaches, just rocky ones. The other night the moon was full and there was no cloud cover. It was so beautiful with the moon reflecting off the water. So an update on the weather. I asked for specifics on the temperatures. Elder Powel said that he has had a watch that has a thermometer his whole mission. He said that he has never seen the temperature below 88, and this is his last transfer here in the mission. I was blown away! I thought that on a cool rainy night it was about 70, but I was wrong.

I am eating more meat for you dad. And I am exercising more. It feels good. The work is going well. We don’t have time to contact as many people as we should because we are always teaching lessons. We found some more good investigators. Hopefully they will continue to apply faith and strengthen their testimonies. That is a big problem here. People are so willing to hear, but don’t apply it to themselves and really make the change in their lives. I hope I can really convert my investigators.

Well I have to go. Everything is good here.
Love you all!
Elder Schenk
