Missionary News

• Well I didn't transfer out but I did get made District Leader so that is pretty cool. I'm in charge of 5 Elders plus me so it will be interesting. But now I carry a cell phone with me always so its kind of cool.
  
  
• The pictures I sent you are just how the water looks here, just trash. The river is black and smells like nothing I can explain its really interesting. It would be a more beautiful place but there are so many people and not enough room so that is what they do.
  
  
• I have had a lot of interviews lately and it has only make my headache worse, but it's cool. I have a little cold and a killer headache.



• Some of our investigators just don't get it. I just don't know how anyone could deny the message of peace, happiness, hope and love.
  
  
• A lot of my friends back home are getting married so its kind of made me feel alone and like I'm stuck in this spot in my life, but at the same time I'm growing like nothing else so I'm happy. I love the mission. It is the best thing in the world and I'm so excited that I have one year left. There is only so many things I can do in one year back home, but here on my mission, I get to change lives so I'm really looking forward to it. Just remember, attitude reflects altitude.



• I love you guys, thanks for everything, tell everyone hi for me. Love Elder Loveless

A day with the Grandkids

Brody playing paddle ball outside

Lydia trying to make funny faces.

I had Brody and Lydia over for the day, to have fun with Grandma, and give mom some time to herself. We had fun making cookies, playing in the yard, reading stories, singing, and just being silly. Then we went to Arctic Circle and had dinner, and played on the toys. It was a great day!!!!

He's here!!!! Dexter Jenks

Well, we have our new addition to the family now. Alison had her baby, and he is beautiful. He was born June 9th at 12:08 p.m. It was very exciting... Alison and Ashton and baby are doing great, they are wonderful parents. So very patient and loving with this special baby. Dexter was born with no left ear, and a little jaw problem so eating has been a challenge but they are doing well and baby is growing already. He is so precious, and beautiful, and radiates such love. I have been at their house but I'm home now giving Ashtons MOM some grandma time as well. The feeling that Grandparents get at these times is so wonderful, I feel like I am becoming a parent all over again. The love I feel for our children becoming parents, and watching them love their children is something so wonderful. My cup overfloweth with love and gratitude.

Happenings in Philippines

• Nay and Tay Loveless, how are things for you at home? Things are going absolutely GREAT for me.My mission just continues to go on and challenges come and go but it's fun.


• We went to the temple early this morning. I love going to the temple especially here because we don't wear ties we wear what is called a barong or a native shirt. It's so sweet I love it and I am having one made for me to bring home.


• I has rained 5 days straight here and I am always soaked head to toe. I guess it comes with the job.


• We are teaching this cool guy the gospel he is so happy with the changes in his life. It is amazing to see the changes that come over people once they start to accept it into their lives. It just strenthens my Testimony about the Gospel.


• I love you guys, don't forget about me, the missionary in the Philippines.
