Bye-bye e-mail :(

Thanks to some very disobedient Elder's (Peter was NOT among them) the mission president has now banned e-mail for the Bacolod Mission!!! So not only will we miss weekly updates, because "snail-mail" takes 2-3 weeks, we will miss the pictures that Peter would attach. So we all need to pray that when the new mission president arrives in July he will reconsider and let them e-mail again. In the meantime enjoy some of the last pictures he sent.

If any of you want to try writing to him using the POUCH, the address is:
Philippines Bacolod Mission
PO Box 30150
Salt Lake City, UT 85130-0150

First Transfer

Well having spent Christmas on an airplane, it seemed appropriate that Peter would spend his 20th Birthday on a boat being transferred to Oton on the island of Panay!!

OK, so it wasn't on the above boat but instead on what he called an "Ocean Jet" as shown below. He said the ride took just a little over an hour and he is very excited to be in a new area.



Above is where Peter lived in Victorias, he says it was called the Mission Mansion. (I can see why) The only thing he told me about his new home is that it's livable---perhaps something like the below picture. . . I don't know!!!
