LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTT EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Hamblin Famliy,
I am losing my mind right about now but I just want to say this. I AM
SUPER UBER TRUNKY RIGHT NOW! UGH! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN! AGH! In
other news:
*The Baptism went great! I was able to perform the baptism in one
shot and she was confirmed the following Sunday in Sacrament
Meeting!
*I have finished my back packs and other cool gear and T-Shirts
that I can't wait to show you all when I get back!
*I have a farewell party at the house of Sister Aquino in one
hour so this email may be a tad bit short....suck it up! I'll see you in like 3
days or something like that!
*No I am not counting the days. My companion does that for me!
Now...... on with the letters!
Dear Mommy,
I miss you and I'm bummed that you can't be there when I get back but
I'll be there when you get back if you know what I mean! Baptism went great
like I said. Last baptism as a full time missionary. But hey I have to go down
with my guns blazing right? I am trying so hard Mom but it seems like Hells
jaws are gaping open the mouth wide after me right now. I am being hit with
temptations I didn't even plan for. Ok, being trunky to go home and see my
family was something we all saw coming. But the computer shop we are at is
owned by Sister Aquino's son and he is offering to give me free games
to download and play and I have to say no. NO NO NO! We'll talk when I get back
but I am getting his from all sides right now and doing my best to stay
obedient to the end. I have served an honorable mission. I have tried my
hardest to be an example to my siblings. I have fulfilled my calling as a
District Leader, and then as Zone Leader, and I have served with all my might
mind and strength. I can honestly say so President Carlos that I have no
regrets on my mission. I do not regret a single day. And if I did I have repented
and learned from those days. I have seen all types of missionaries, Leader, and
investigators at varying degrees of spirituality and worthiness.
I have seen pain I could not even fathom because of people who have, “chose poorly”(Indiana
Jones and The Last Crusade). I am very
grateful that I was born when I was born in the place I was born to goodly
parents who love the Lord. Thank you, Mom. I'm sorry about all the times I
complained over stupid things like trying on ridiculous amounts of blue jeans
and dress pants. I'm sorry for whining about taking out the garbage or putting
the dishes in a dish washer and most shameful of all....I am sorry for
complaining about folding the cloths and delivering them to peoples
bedrooms! (I can't believe how ungrateful and stupid I was. Please forgive me
for my ignorance.) You didn't deserve that. You shouldn't of had to put up with
all that. I'm sorry Mom. Please forgive me.
The Elder Hamblin you will find when you come home may be a
little different than the one you saw through the check point at the Airport.
He will be skinnier, sexier, jk and more grateful for all you do for us! Gosh,
how time flies and what it does to you. I love you Mom. See you soon! Elder
Hamblin
Dear Devree,
I hope you liked your letter. I spent some good quality time on it. I
kinda hope that not the whole family didn't read it, cause it was really just
meant for you. It's a shame it came so darn late. I probably won't get Manny’s
letter before I go home. They might just have to forward it to me. Bummer! Oh
well. That’s life. Hey I got some stuff to tell you when I call you from the
cell phone when I touch down in Reno. What a bummer my own flesh in blood. My
best pal Devrs is going to leave me hanging at the airport. All because she has
to go to a family reunion/ play time and then get needles shoved into her at a
hospital she called home for 9 months! What’s with all of that! Gosh! Well you
are going to have to make it up to me somehow. I'm going to have to rot my
eyeballs out with TV/movies/games till you get back! I could enjoy that!
Devs,
know that i miss you and that you stink like old cheese for not being there for
me when I get off the Airplane, but I forgive you! Cause that’s how I roll. I
love and miss you and can't wait to hear your voice. I love you! Elder Hamblin
Dear Shay,
K so listen up stink pot! You and Dad are being held personally
responsible for all Trunkiness from here on out. I was laughing my head off
when I read Dad's letter and you as well! "Kidlat" You know what I think of you
two...... Ya, That's Tae! Kainin
mo siya!
Hey,
there is much to do when I get back! I need you to show me.....EVERYTHING! And
when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! I love you Shay and I don't know how
much longer I have at the internet shop I'm at so I am going to finish things
up real quick! I love you Take care! Hold the fort down for me till I get back
alright. And keep manin it with your frozen burritos! Love, Elder Hamblin
Dear Danie Boy,
Ned Declassified School Survival Guide is pretty cool! I remember
watching that back in the day. I like the episode where they play dodge ball
and Cookie (the nerdy one) become the Darth Vader lord of Dodge ball. You
should find that episode and show it to me when I get back!
Hey what do you say to buying some dish washing soap and spraying
it all over the trampoline and wrestling in it I
looooooooooooooove ya! And I MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSS YA!
Time flies by when your busy or busy having fun! I can't wait to see you all
again! LOVE Elder Hambz!
Dear Pops,
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUNKY! YOU HAVE REACHED THE LEVEL OF
UBER TRUNKINESS! This is a side of Dad I have never seen before! You’re so
trunky I can feel the trunky vibes through the computer! I was laughing so hard
at your letter! I miss you all soooooo much! Gosh, when you said Men in Black 3
I flipped out. I had totally forgotten about that! HA HA! :D It will all come
in due time. I miss you all so much. Any second now they will be coming to pull
me into the house for my farewell.
OK, Here’s the scoop with Sister Aquino:
Last
night we had a dinner appointment with Sister Aquino. She is a kind lady of the
ward, the Relief Society President I think. She wanted to know what my phone
number was and boasted that their phone could call directly to the Philippines.
I was impressed but didn't believe her really so I decided to put it to the
test. I told her the number of our home phone and she plugged it right in. To
my surprise she said it was ringing! Then I heard your voice on the other side
I almost pooped my pants! HA! It actually worked! She chatted to you while the
party was going on, (Its always a party at that house!) and then she hung up.
Let me remind you I am still a missionary papa. That call was breaking the
rules and if I talked to you on the other line it would be harmless but it
still would have been breaking the rules. I don't like breaking the rules so I
decided to not take the phone when she handed it to me. Sorry Dad, but on the
bright side you did get to meet Sister Aquino and that is cool. Now they can
call us early in the morning when I get back. Don't worry I'll take all those
calls if they come. I also let them know about the time change as well. So
don't worry it won't be like every day. Just every now and then they like to
call the missionaries that have stayed in Roxas. All the members here ROCK! I
especially love the Aquino family for many reasons but will talk about that in
the future.
Know that I am uber excited to see you all and eat an AMERICAN HAMBURGER
and poop it all out in under 24 hours! I love you all and can't wait to try to
do all that you have planned for us to do and not fall off my spiritual high!
Thanks for being the best cheering squad a missionary could ask for! You
all have supported me every step of the way. Through the good the bad the ugly
and the just plain evil! You have been with me laughed with me cried with me
every step of the way. Thank you for the never ending support and love that you
continually give me each day in everything that I do. You are the best family
for me. Thanks for loving me for who I am. Thanks for praying for all my
Investigators. Thanks for everything!!! LOVE, ELDER
HAMBZ
