Week 37 (Cauayan)

Maayong gabi!

Super late today sorry! We had a transfer day and a mission devotional. President told us all "see you later" and gave us some last training and we played some games and ate some food :) It was tons of fun to have all the missionaries in the mission there! It was also cool to see that I have been here long enough to know people and I don't feel totally out of place :) 

My new companion is Sister Nanlabi and she's been here since March. This will be her second area (same as me haha) and I will be the Senior Companion. A little nervous but it's about Christ and the work not about me. Sorry for the short update but enjoy the pictures.

One is of a FHE we had with some members on Sunday it was tons of fun and we talked about how to be prepared for the Second Coming. What would you do if Christ came tomorrow? What things would you stop doing? What would you start doing? Who would you forgive? What would you confess? I encourage you all to start now! Be prepared for when He comes again! 
"Try a little harder to be a little better" ~President Hinckley

Love you all thanks for your prayer!

Week 80 (travel Manila to Home)

Hello all! Maayong hapon!  I want to thank those of you who have read just one page to those of you who have followed my experiences over the course of my mission in Bacolod, Philippines. I hope that there was something on any day that was able to uplift your spirits and help to bring you closer to Christ, as that is the true purpose of this blog. Sister Hostetter, Sister Clarke, and Sister Burkhardt and I traveled to Manila together with the other missionaries who were going home. We were able to visit the Manila temple and to my surprise, my trainer, Sister Soriano, along with some other missionaries, including Sister Tamo and Sister Ignacio (past companion), were there waiting to welcome us! My trainer had even brought me some authentic Filipino snacks :) Walking into the temple felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders that I didn't realize I had been carrying. I felt so much peace and love to be able to walk into the House of the Lord. After the temple, we ...

Week 27 (Binalbagan)

Maayong hapon! Time just flies so fast! So this week we had a baptism planned for Sister Jojo but she was really really busy with her children's graduation and their fiesta so we moved it to this Saturday. We visited them and got to see her oldest daughter, Nicole, in her graduation gown. She was the 1st princess in their school's program and another member was 4th princess so they had makeup and were super dressed up. Super cute!  I ate dinuguan this week. That basically means pig blood as a rice topping. It wasn't too bad.... Some kids threw rocks at me and my companion this week so that was cool too.  My favorite new investigator is a 15 year old boy named Joshua. He's a little shy, especially of me cause I'm the foreigner but is very kind and not a dungol. His friends are members and the first time we invited him to church he came and learned a lot and had a great experience. At our last lesson with him, I started to ask "sinn-o ang..." ...

Week 75 (Bacolod) 1 Month Left

Maayong hapon!  So much happened this week! From the announcement about missionaries being allowed to call/text their parents to training in district council to exchanges and working with Elder and Sister Willis to Zone Conference (where we trained again) to a baptism and confirmation to extending a baptismal date for THIS Saturday?!?!! I love serving in Bacolod 2nd Ward and I love serving Heavenly Father and his children. I've never felt so happy or so fulfilled in my life. I'll attempt to explain in some detail what we did this week: We gave our first training of the transfer in district council. We trained about becoming a consecrated missionary (see talk by Tad R. Callister) or becoming the Fourth Missionary (see talk by Lawrence E. Corbridge). AWESOME talks to send if you have or know a missionary in the field. On Thursday, I went on exchanges to Sta. Fe with Sister Johnson and Sister Bise AND Elder and Sister Willis. What a wild day that was. My favorite appoint...
