Huwag Tayo Sumuko

Hello!

Thats my new motto, it means don't give up. :)

This has been quite a week. Thanks to our prayers Sister A and Sis M, both passed their baptismal interviews and will be baptized this week on the 16th! We have also been practice teaching with them, because they both wanna serve missions! I think the Elders and us are going to start a mission prep class, and an English class. English, because so many Filipinos are betting called to other nations. We are really excited!

Hello

Hello!

Not gonna lie I don't really know what to say. It was another week in the life.

Here are some pics!

Another Week In The Life ;)

Hello my dear family!

I have a bunch of pictures, cause I wasn't really able to email last week.....sorry.

Service project! we washed laundry for this family. It was super fun!
We are teaching this really big family, they are awesome. They're daughter Mikalynn, is progressing, she is 17 AND she accepted a baptism date at the end of March. She has an amazing testimony and she always shows me her study journal, which she made all by herself. She reads the scriptures and writes her thoughts.

Mission Leadership Training

I spent Monday evening until Wednesday traveling/having MLC. That's where all the STL's and ZL's get together and council with President Kotter at the mission home. It was really fun taking the boat again! I could have sat and watch the ocean forever, I really actually want to move here. I love it so much! The meeting was really good, and we basically got motivated to be amazing examples. We talked about rules and stuff like that, it was pretty chill.

I saw some miracles this week, that I wanted to share with you. :)

Packages Arrived!

Hello!

First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MAIN MAN!!!!!! HAPPY 16!! I have literally been telling everyone my baby sister is turning 16 for like 3 weeks! Unfortunately I am busier than I've ever been, I hardly have time to write in my journal. It's crazy! I am really happy though, opening an area is all sorts of exciting. #hoursoftracting I would like Mary to know that there is McDonald's here, and I just ate it for lunch in honor of her. Haha!

I got all 4 boxes all at once, everyone at zone conference was pretty shook! Haha! You are so sweet, my companion was very grateful for her package as well. Filipinos LOVE fruit snacks, they don't exist here. I am obsessed with body scrubs and stuff right now, maybe cause I've decided I might never wear make up again. Thank you for not sending me a ton of food, the trail mix is sobrang masarap (super delicious)! Salamat (thank you)! And of course beef jerky is life.

I Made It To Catanduanes!

Wow! So much has changed!

1. My companion is awesome! I love her, she's from Manila. :) She does speak English, but I try not to use English. She is an amazing cook, so I'm lucky. I also might get fat this transfer. Sayang. She is 25, and a really great example to me, I have already learned so much from her.

Transfer News & Pictures

Wow. I made a video, but transfer news came in! The Lord still has a lot for me to do.

This was great week, our investigators and members are pretty shook that I'm leaving Bulan, even though I've been here for 4 transfers. Needless to say, I'm gonna miss these people a lot, I feels a little like I'm leaving home all over again. BUT I am out of my mind excited for my new area, I wanted to serve on one of the Islands SO bad!!!! YAY!!
