August 8th...
Mom decide now what you want Filipina or Americana for my wife? hahhah jokes... I am excited to come home but I think a little more sad that I am leaving so soon. Its the weirdest feeling to know that I am leaving soon. I have two weeks left today then I am pretty much traveling to San Pablo then to Manila and I am gone. Its crazy I am not ready.. . I have one more baptized planned the day before I leave so hopefully this works out because that would be amazing if it does. Her name is Daby Maglente and is a super awesome lady and has a strong testimony of this gospel already. But love you guys I will try to send pics soon. Love Elder Herrin aka Cousin Eddy

But thats awesome with the Cabin I might have to take some girls up there hahaha. joke maybe. ;)...But anyways doing good have a few baptisms coming up but sadly I won't be here for them. :( its heartbreaking but I am happy my comp gets to have them. :) But love you guys to the moon and back not much else to tell I want to send pics but I think someone in my last apartment stole my card reader so you will just have to wait until I get home to see me haha. :P But love you guys tons enjoy the Cabin and have a great week Love Elder Herrin aka Ferris Bueller or how ever you spell his name haha. :)
July 18th...Wow mom this area is great for like the first time my entire mission the branch president worked with us for the WHOLE DAY!!! we got like 7 people we can teach now and everyone here is so nice. Its a way pretty place and they are famous for there wood carvings here. Our area is huge and it used to be the sisters area and we are in there old apartment but there old apartment is so nice. They cleaned it well and took care of it. :) So work has been good tons of miracles. They also have tons of sick clothes and jerseys so I will probably find lots of stuff for the boys... I have a member here that does a nativity out of wood that comes with 17 pieces its super nice. And He does carvings of temples and writes the names on them... If you all want a carving of the temples you guys were married at let me know asap and then I will tell him to make some for you guys it says on it Families are forever. its way cool the carving and looks just like the temples. But theres also a fiesta coming up this july 24 and they should be selling a lot of things for cheap so I came to this area at the right time haha. But about my new comp his name is Elder Farish he is from Seattle and a super nice kid.. He doesn't have fingers or toes but its because he was still borne or something like that. But that doesn't slow him down in the work. Super nice kid and its been fun to see him work and follow up train him...I love you all tons. I had a really bitter sweet leave at Lopez I will miss it a lot there but I already love the people here and the area. And this is the area with the most church attendance I have seen my whole mission I think its at 100. So tons compared to other areas that only had 40 or so on haha. But doing well seeing lots of miracles and blessings everywhere and I am learning to cook so thats a bonus haha. :) But love you guys tons Love Elder Herrin aka KOBE BRYANT haha "If you doubt everythings possible, you doubt your saviour."
July 4th... love you guys and am doing good we are planning some baptisms coming up here pretty shortly and they want me to baptize i feel special but I really want there dad to baptize them. it would be a cool experience for there dad. . The only problem is that he is shy and is still less active, but he wants to get his kids baptized. :) Hopefully he changes his mind here pretty quickly, we will pray for him. But we are still looking for an apartment. Its harder than i thought trying to find one haha. I want a new one though. It is harder with 4 and it is getting on my nerves haha. I messed up my leg this week I got cut I thought I could see the bone on my shin but I don't know I just cleaned it with Alcohol and have kept it covered and I hurt my foot again. I decided I will stop playing basketball now and look where I am walking more haha. :) But I am still alive and laughing. Good to hear Mitchell is doing good glad to hear he has some fun stories. But I am doing good sorry not much to tell this week. . I got my tooth fixed here but I want a dentist in America to look at my teeth hahah and xray me hahah. :P joke no it will be good to get home and take a warm shower. It has rained a lot here lately and I am always cold and wet now haha. :) But Loving the work and happy where I am at. :)
