Nathan was transferred to Lucena last week.  He was sad to leave San Pablo.  He said the 3 months he was there, felt like 3 weeks!  His new companion is Elder Mendoza, also from the Philippines.  He is also a Zone Leader.  Nathan said he is excited to get this area back in shape.  

 

Both boys are very happy!!  They have almost been gone 18 months!!  Only 6 to go!  

 Nathan and Nick were both transferred in the last couple of weeks.  Nathan was transferred to San Pablo.  He is close to the mission home.  Half of his area is in the city and the other half is rural.  He is the Zone Leader now.  His new companion is from the Philippines, Elder Sollano.  He misses his last area of Batangas, but is excited for this new opportunity.

Nick was transferred to Hermosa.  He is excited, he was ready to leave the job of Office Elder, even though he loved his time in the Mission Office.  He is District Leader.  His companion is Elder Tumanuvao from Samoa.  He met him in the MTC, so he is really excited to work with him.  The following pictures were sent by Nick:
