Transfer

Soon after the baptism of these 2 little cousins, Peter was transferred from

Pototan to an area in Iloilo City called Molo. There they have 2 wards and

Peter said they love to feed the Elders (more dried fish maybe?!)

His new companion, Elder Lavides from Manila.
Just monkeying around but I'm sure he'll get to work soon!!

The Dried Fish Diet

Maybe if I ate like this my pants would be baggy too!!

We'll be taking this boy to the new In-N-Out in Orem

when he gets home--no dried fish there!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY

Wow---hard to believe that Peter just celebrated his Hump Day on October 22nd!!!! The year seemed to go by fast and the 2nd year goes by even faster! He is still in Pototan and was just made a District Leader so is excited about that opportunity. We look forward to another great year and more adventures.

Going Coconuts!!!

I have to say I never expected to see a picture of Peter at the top of a coconut tree but here you have it!!!

Adventures in Eating

Part of serving a foreign mission of course is partaking of all the "foreign" foods and Peter has certainly done that!! I don't need to see any more pictures of him eating balut though!
Avocodo milkshakes??!! Peter said they are really pretty good.

Crispy crabs and rice
Ice-cream with 4 flavors all in one!!
At a restaurant with what else---all you can eat rice!!
So you can see why Peter was so excited to down this nice big American hamburger!!

Transfer

Last week Peter was transfered to a town called Pototan, still on the island of Panay but north of Iloilo. The mission president closed their area in Oton because of a lack of missionaries which made the members really sad. This was at a farewell party they had for Peter and his companion.

Pototan is inland and so Peter said he is missing the ocean but the scenery there is beautiful as you can see.

2 guests. . .1 welcome the other not so welcome

This month Peter met his new mission president, President Tobias, when he came and visited he and his companion at their apartment. (Can you believe how skinny Peter is!?)
This little tukol though, not so welcome as a guest in the apartment and thank goodness Elder Araojo was able to catch it and send it on it's way OUTSIDE because Peter said they will bite you!!
