Hey everyone,

Today I got to really one of the beautiful places in the Philippines we went over to Pundakit which is a resort and its on the edge of the South China sea, it was awesome, and I got SUNBURNED gosh dang it. ha ha I forgot my sunscreen.

We were out proselyting the other day and we were visiting a member and I found out that her next door neighbor is a veterinarian so we got talking about vet stuff, it was really fun, ha ha then we got taking about vaccines and he said that if we have parvo vaccine in America he was going to call me. It was funny, then he offered his services to the church if the mission ever needed anything for an animal service project, it was really neat, oh, and he showed me how they neuter dogs it was pretty crazy! no sedatives! but I won't go into the details.

Investigators, we have a baptism this coming Saturday and then 1, hopefully 2 next Saturday, the one this week is sister Arlene, she has one little girl and is a single parent. A great lady and helps me all the time with my Tagalog. then next week we have the golden Iglesia couple, Sister Jane and Jonathan Fontillas, Jane consented right off but Brother Jonathan is a little hesitant because he doesn't think he will be ready, so we will keep working with him but they are a great model of how a family should be, they are raising their son definitely in love and righteousness even though not members. And they are members of a great and abominable church right now ha ha.

Oh, earlier when we were at the beach, my companion (Elder Erispe) who is a nurse saved an old guy's life, he couldn't breathe and was having a bad asthma attack and so Elder Erispe knew exactly what to do, it was cool seeing him in action, then the ol' boy blacked out! that just added to the intensity of the situation then he came out of it and started breathing a little better, it was cool. Definitely a miracle from God because if we hadn't of been there he might have died. Count your many blessings!

Other than what I've mentioned it was kind of a slow week.

Oh, last week I didn't have time to mention that we went to a rice mill which was owned by a member. Those who know me know I like to see how things work so I made the operator give me a tour of the machine it was SOOOO COOOOL! ha ha but yeah.

Its been really neat to see how many little miracles happen every day, like if we get off at the wrong place or turn down the wrong road, there is someone there that needs to hear our message, I love those moment's and look for them always, I know this church is true without a doubt!

Thank you to all of you that make it possible for me to be out here, I love you all
Elder Chase
