Alison made a cute card and gave it to us with this saying. Well we couldn't be happier. And our other great blessing is our Missionary Son Brett, and he is doing so much better. We had a great Thanksgiving with Grandma Bringhurst, Ron and Susan, Terry, kesha, John and Diane and all their children. We are greatly blessed, and are Thankful for everything and everyone.

Misssionary Blessings

This spider was in the shower, ugh.......
Thanksgiving with other missionaries...They ate rice and Adobo Chicken.


Happy Elder Loveless, we love this picture :)

• Things are actually really really good. I'm liking it here and me and my comp. are getting along really good and we have a few more families to teach.
• The ward we serve in is maybe 100+ that come to church but the list is over 500. Nobody helps us at all, we do it all on our own. We do something that is called OYM or open your mouth. We just walk down the road and talk to people. We are starting to tract now and it is just to see if it is effective in our mission.
• I am in a city called Marikina, about 45 minutes away from Quezon City. My area is only city.
• Our families we found are really cool, and they say they are really interested.
• I used my raincoat for the first time, I didn't get wet at all, so that was nice.
• Other than that spider in the pic we just live with cockroaches and lizards.
• Have a good Thanksgiving and eat some pie for me.

We are so happy to see the pictures of Brett looking so happy. What a great smile. Who can resist listening to that shining face and happy look!!!

Doing Much Better, and the work goes on.

• I am feeling much better and everything so that is nice. I missed 3 days of work, and I have a big rash on my legs and arms, so they are doing some tests, so it will be interesting to find out the results.
• I have a new comp. He is from Salt Lake City, but also from Tonga. He has 5 months left, but he is really fun. He makes me work hard for everything.
• We are teaching an 18 yr old, his grandma got baptised and he is almost ready too. That is exciting.
• We went as guests of honor to another religion meeting. Inglesia Ni Cristo Church, it is popular here, and we talked to the minister. It was cool.
• I'm starting to talk alot more now and it is making things alot better. But the heat is really bad, its about 100 degrees.
• I hope everything is going well for you guys, keep it up and thanks for everything.

Great Blessings

• This is the report from Sis. Ho Ching on Brett:
• Elder Loveless is taking antibiotics for the pneumonia.
• Amazingly, he doesn't feel that bad, so hopefully the medicine will do it's work quickly. He is doing well, he was happy and smiling when our senior missionary couple took him to the hospital . I expect that by next week at this time, he'll be running full speed ahead. It's amazing to me how quickly, with the help of the Lord, that these young men recover.

We feel great relief knowing he is doing pretty well. They are taking good care of him, and always keep us informed. Thanks for the prayers, and concern, and as always we have to F.R.O.G.

Our sick missionary.

At this time we need your prayers for our missionary Brett. He has had the flu for a few weeks in the Philippines, and has now developed Pneumonia. Please keep him in your prayers, so he can gain his health again, to return to his service to the Lord. I am still waiting for more word from his mission mother, and I will keep you informed too.

I keep picking up my feet each day

• Hey Mom and Dad, how is everything in good old Idaho where there is grass, carpet and yards not to mention no really disgusting dogs running around?
• This week went pretty fast for me. I'm starting to get used to it now. We barely ever take trikes anywhere. We have a pretty small area(I think it's big but I guess its small) and we just walk it all day everyday. Its really crazy. I think I walk about 10 miles a day every day. The cool thing is that I don't get tired of walking, I actually love it, its really fun.
• We had a really cool family come to church with us . It was way cool cause we have only taught them 4 times and their name was given to us by another investigator of ours so that was cool.
• I kinda got a little sick this week but I'm OK now, I just have a cough, but MOM no worries.
• We went to church in a new chapel and it was really nice. And Dad all males showed that all except a few had white shirts and ties. It was so nice.
• But i just keep going and going and picking up my feet .
• Love you guys so so much , Brett

Halloween Fun

A little update on Steve and I and our fun Halloween. I love Halloween, I have alot of fun at school with the kids, then I get excited to treat everyone at our door. We had a fun FHE monday at Curtis's and carved pumkins and had fun. Steve flew off to San Fransisco for 3 days, then came home and it was Halloween. I held the fort down while he was gone. Friday we had no school, so I made Doughnuts and chili, and had a great Halloween evening, with Grandma and George here. John and Diane stopped by also. Now it's time to think about Thanksgiving. Thanks for checking in on us. Maybe I can try some pics one day!!!
