Training

Transfers are this week which means I'm done with training! Time is flying by I can't believe it. I’ll keep this email short, not much happened this week.

We started teaching a family of 6 kids and their names are Cristelle, Crystal, Criswell, Cris Laurence, Cris Leon, and the moms name is Kristina. Like bruh. Haha how am I ever supposed to remember who is who? Haha

I found rice krispies at the store so I taught my companion what rice krispy treats are and we made them for some of our friends! …until our friends weren't home so we ate them instead.

And as always, the gift of tongues is REAL! This week we had just finished a lesson with a husband and wife. After the lesson the guy started talking to me. He said a bunch of stuff I didn’t understand and so I looked over like I usually do to let my companion answer or translate for me. I looked over at her but she was in a conversation with the woman. So I was on my own to talk to this guy. I focused extra hard on what he was saying and I could tell he was very passionate about what he was saying. I picked up enough words to be able to say small responses and bear testimony to him! I said a little prayer in my heart to help me say the right things and I would just start talking, having hardly any idea what the guy just said to me. I learned a good lesson to rely on the Lord! I knew more than I thought I did and was able to talk without having to look at my companion to answer for me. I just needed to open my mouth and trust that the right words would come, and they did! 

I love the Philippines, I love Jesus, and I love being a missionary!

Bap Date For Micah!!

Image
Merry almost Christmas!! It definitely doesn't feel like Christmas here because its 80 million degrees. Haha enjoy the snow for me!  This week our friend Micah accepted a baptismal date! She is 16 years old and has been on and off coming to church for basically her whole life. She attends seminary and goes to FSY. She wants to be baptized so bad but her parents won't give her permission. We just recently started teaching her again and this week we taught about baptism and extended a baptismal date. The spirit was SO STRONG and she was so excited to say yes. She even asked if she could be baptized before the end of December! Her faith is so strong and she is currently praying for the courage to talk to her mom for permission. She said that even if she doesn't get permission she wants to get baptized anyway because she trusts God that it will all work out.  I'm learning and growing so much every day and I'm so grateful to be a missionary. This week I have learned just...

Nanay Peed During Our Lesson

Image
A good week! The gift of tongues is my best friend lately and it is SO REAL. The other day we had a lesson with our friend Jerry, and I had planned to speak a lot more in this lesson. Usually I just give the invitation and bear my testimony and occasionally teach a short part. But this lesson was about the restoration and I was going to be teaching a lot more and I was nervous. But we went into the lesson and I was able to contribute everything that I needed to! When I shared the first vision, the spirit was so strong in the room. It was just another confirmation to me that Joseph Smith truly is a prophet of God and he really did restore this church.  Funny backstory… before this lesson started, we were waiting in Jerrys house for him to come downstairs. He is the caretaker for his Mom who has cancer. She has a bed in the living room and I have never not seen her on that bed. So while we were waiting for Jerry, we were just talking to this old lady and then she starts to stand up (...

Typhoon!

Hi! Been a sec! Quick update from the past 3 weeks… -We had 7 friends come to church last week!  -Jay and Denielle got baptized last Saturday and it was such a good day!  -AND A TYPHOON! I have never seen so much rain in my life. On Wednesday, it was pouring all day. Every time we came home for meals I had to change my clothes because I was drenched. It kept raining all night long and the worst of it was on Thursday. We went out Thursday morning and it was so fun I was enjoying that storm way too much haha. At one point a car drove super fast by us and it sprayed us with water and literally drenched us. It was so funny. The weather kept getting worse so unfortunately we had to go back inside and stay in for the rest of the day.  A few streets away from us, where some members live, was the worst of the Typhoon. The water went to the second floor of their house and they had no way of getting out. Very scary. But luckily the rain finally stopped and the water went low enough...
