Family,

We just had transferred and Elder B. was transferred. I'm now training the new Assistant, Elder G.! I was actually with him in my first area so we already know each other and we're having a great time. Elder Gn is from Oregon and was a varsity swimmer. He's was one of the most humble elders I know and we're working really hard.

Other then that, things are going well. I'm working hard everyday and on top of teach lessons every week, we testify or have a gospel conversion with over 210 people each week. I love talking to people, especially Filipino people. I feel so immersed in their culture and I just have such love for these people. 

I don't think I've ever been this tired my whole life. I know I go home soon and my body feels it too. But don't worry I still work and I'm so busy that the weeks are just flying by. 

I want all of you to know that I love you and this gospel. Mahal ko kayo!

Your Valiant Missionary,

Elder Strader
