At transfer meeting, I was called to serve in the Baliwag Zone as a Zone Leader. Baliwag is our furthest Zone. I am in Bustos, Bulacan. My companion is Elder Wilson. He is from Arizona near Mesa. I really don't think that I am ready to be a Zone Leader. I mean I just got done training. But the Area is really cool and green.
I don't have any plans for my Birthday. I was going to have a really big FHE but it was canceled because the family has school and work. So we are just having a nice pday. Oh, here in the Philippines, it is backwards, here, the person whose birthday it is pays for every one to eat. Not everyone pays for the person on his birthday like in the states. So I had to buy a few elders some Buko Shakes (Coconut Shakes). That is my Birthday; Transferred, became a Zone Leader, and bought some Buko Shakes.
I have not gotten my birthday package. The last package I received was the battery charger. I have no idea how long it takes to get here, but we get mail delivered to district meeting every two weeks. So that's how often I get mail. So I usually get one or two letters from grandma.
Sounds like you all had a blast at the fair and it was a good learning experience. I hope Trevor keeps doing it so I can help out and hang out at the fair all day. It was also good to hear about Levi and Joel and how they are doing.
Love you all,
Elder Hatch
