Family,
Well it is really the last email. That is weird, but it still seems really unrealistic to me. I feel like I will be serving for a mission for the rest of my life. I am really scared for it to hit, and am kind of pray that it never really does haha.
But it has been a good week. Full of lots of fun missionary work. Actually it was cool because I got to go on splits with sister Larona (my companion before I got ET) and I got to work in baclayon. It was so wonderful. (my companion still hadn't gone on splits with the STLs but I was done, and sister Larona's companion hadn't gone on splits, but she was done so we ended up together. The night before they had a scare that someone was trying to get into their house, and then I had to sleep in that house the next night, but don't worry with pepper spray in hand, I made it through the night, and am still alive today haha. But It was seriously so great going on splits there. I love baclayon even though I was only there for a few weeks. I got to see all of the member and our investigators and it was a really great day.
We also had an investigator at church this week. She is kind of a funny investigator, she has only let us teach her once, but has come to church 3 times, people are funny...
I also have cool news. So because my batch is so big everyone from tagbilaran zone is going to cebu on friday night because we have our exit interviews saturday morning. So that means I will have a few days in cebu before they have activitys planned for us, which means I get to visit my old areas probably. Sister clegg and I are going over there together, and her parents are coming out and going to her old areas, so she told me we could go to mine, which makes me really excited.
Also for other new, Klong-klong (my investigator in bogo), got baptized on saturday! It is really awesome because He has kind of a funny life. He started drugs when he was in elementary school and has had 3 wife, and done a lot of other bad things. But its awesome because when we taught him smoking a ton a day to smoking 5 cigarettes a day to none. He talked about the the power of the book of mormon and when he read he didn't get mad easily and it made his life so much better. Mina has also been trying to give book of mormons to everyone, she is like the best member missionary.
And I know this is my last email, so you are probably expecting it to be somewhat epic... Sorry. But I am excited see you all and talk to you about my mission. Missions really are the best. I will forever be thankful for my mission. I love you all, see you soon!

Hi my name is Jim Fife and I am coming with my son to Cebu, we have 2 full days there and are wanting to hire LDS tour guides to take us to waterfalls and tour the island. Can anyone advise who we could contact for this service? My sone is preparing to leave on a mission in 8 months and he is coming with me on a business trip to Asia. We have a couple days in Cebu and really want to find LDS people to show us around. Obviously we are happy to pay for the service.
