Typhoon!

Hello Everyone!!

So just when we thought an earthquake was all we were going to get, we have a typhoon!! Well we haven't yet but we are expecting one within the next day or two. How crazy is this? An earthquake and now a typhoon! Dont worry I'll be safe. We are going to get a bunch of food and water after this just in case we are stuck in our houses for a while. We might be stuck in our houses for a day or two. I'm not telling you this to make you worry. Please don't worry. I'll be safe inside our house. But it's crazy that we have another big thing like this! The Lord is really helping us out here by humbling the people. Hopefully they are humble and receive us. Okay so Jimmer heck yeah on the win man! Are you for real!? That is the sickest play that Ive ever heard of and 17 tackles! Man that is so awesome! I got chills and little bit of tears when I read that. I'm so mad I couldn't be there but I'm so glad that you tore it up and got the W! I hope you double tapped that helmet of yours all 17 times! haha. Go get Logan this week! I'll be praying for you. So I know youve sent a bunch of packages so no pressure in sending another one soon okay? Seriously you don't have to becasue it's expensive to send and I'm not in a rush to get this stuff. but when you do send a package instant food stuff would be awesome. Like Mountain House stuff or instant potatoes. Instant potatoes is the big one but things like that would be awesome. But again no rush in sending them okay? Oh and pop rocks becasue the kids love pop rocks. So a quick review of the past week. Nothing that big has happened. Elder Murdock and I got hammocks though! They are sweet. We hook them up in our house and just chill when we get home at night. Its awesome. We also got pants made and they are sweet!! they are a light gray and have a tint of blue and they are so thin and so awesome. What else. Oh we got to ride on the top of a multicab! It was so fun! Don't worry I was safe! It was so fun though. Oh yeah we were walking around one night and we saw a group of kids so we went over to them and they were freaking out. They were all trying to talk with us and trying to get us to do magic and asking us questions and giving us high fives (they love high fives here). Anyway so we said we would come back another day and when we said that they all screamed "yay!!! yay!!" It was so funny. We started laughing so hard. it was like if santa said he was coming back to a bunch of kids. So i think that's it for the quick overview. Dad you asked in your email if we have been able to teach and if we have promising investigators and we have been able to and we have quite a few! It's been awesome. We;'ve  been able to find quite a few new peole to teach lately. yesterday we were walking down a road and a family yelled hello to us so we went over to talk to them. they were catholic and they invited us to sit down. We talked for a little bit and then we asked if we could share a message with them. they said we could and so we taught them the first lesson. I actually taught some of it too. ive been able to teach the first lesson a couple times actually which has been scary but cool. Anyway so they seemed super interested the whole time. We asked them if they would come to church this sunday and they said yes and then started asking questions about what they need to wear, if their little kids could come, and what we do in the meetings. so yeah they seemed really interested and really great. We are teaching them on Friday. I hope they work out because it would be a family and a whole family is rare and it would be so awesome! Their last name is Torralba. We also have a couple other investigators that are very promising and have committed to baptism. the only thing keeping them from being baptized is they need to come to church. but the work is hastening here in Tagbilaran as it is all over the world. Elder Murdock and i talked about the second coming this past week. Christ is coming and is coming soon. The time is now. It's hit me so hard out here how soon He is coming. We have to preapare and fortify ourselves. Alma 9:26 is one of the scriptures that Elder Murdock shared with me. There will be a lot of things that start to happen and have already started happening here, like this earthquake and typhoon. The Lord has promised us thousands of times though that if we keep His commandments, we will prosper in the land. I studied Mosiah chapter two today and King Benjamin talked all about this. Go read it and study it. It's a powerful chapter. I'm almost out of time so I have to wrap it up but I know this gospel is true. I know it with all my heart. I know that Christ lives and that He is coming soon. This work, this fight, this gospel, God's plan for us is real. It's all real and true. I know it is. D&C 122:9 "Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. They days are known, and they years shall  not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever." I know that the Lord is with us and will be forever and ever if we love Him and follow Him and keep His commandments. I know that He is the only way to true happiness and eternal life with our Heavenly Father and each other. I love and pray for you all! Thank you for all of the emails! I love hearing from you! I love you so much!
Love, Elder Fox
