Heard from the boys Sunday night. Both of their P days are Monday, so we will get emails on Sunday night. Both are doing well and love their companions and areas.... big relief!!
Nick is in Botolan, it looks like it is right on the coast. His companion is Elder Hunter from Gridley, California. He loves his companion and it sounds like his area is beautiful. He says, "I absolutely love it here with all may heart and I've never been happier in my life."
Will post mailing address later.
Nate is in San Jose, a little city southwest of San Pablo. His companion is Elder Diaz from Sandy, Utah. He was happy to get an American trainer to help him learn Tagalog and the Philippine customs better. He is mostly teaching less active members and has already washed his clothes by hand. His address for letters and packages is:
Elder Nathan Howes
Brgy San Juan, Alaminos
4001 Laguna
Philippines
Nick and Nate at the real map!
