How is everything???? This week has
been good I am having a good time and learning a lot. I miss you all a ton. I
wish you could be here and experience the things I am experiencing. This week
started off with district meeting. That is every Tuesday when we travel to Agoo
to meet with our district. We have interviews with our district leader and have
a little workshop. It was good but I forget what it is about because I still
cannot understand a lot of what they are saying!!! But I am getting better.
After the meeting My companion and I went to the Ukay-Ukay. It is like a giant
outdoor market for used clothes. I needed some shirts because I have gained like
9 pounds in the mtc. I got 2 shirts and a cute polka-dotted skirt for like 50
pesos each which is like 1.50 on American dollars. That is a steal! anyway that
was fun. While we were there I got followed by little children. That happens to
me everywhere. The kids love to talk to me in English and tell me I am
beautiful. It is fun but distracting sometimes. I love the kids they are soo so
adorable. Everywhere I go people stare at me. It is so funny but strange. I am
getting used to it though
So lets see as for investigators we have three investigators with a
baptismal date. Our most recent one is named sister Nova and I got to extend the
invitation. I was really nervous that she would say no but she didn't!! I was so
happy. She is searching for truth and has a lot of questions. Lessons with her
are sometimes hard because of all her questions but we try to answer them and not
stay too long. She is so sweet and I hope she sticks with us.
Our other IBDs (investigators with a baptismal date) are Jonathan Pacle and
Jomar. I don't know Jomar becaue he has been our of town but we teach Jonathan
about 2 a week. He is progressing well but still has WOW problems. He knows it
is wrong but it is hard for him to resist temptation. I pray for him that he
will have strength and know the church is true.
Last night we visited a member's house Sister Lael. She has two sons and we
just dropped by for a surprise visit. She of course offered food to us and we
accepted of course! She is a wonderful cook She had pork lumpia, pancit with
squid balls and dried fish....and rice of course. It was all soooo soo
delicious. I love dried fish! It is so crunchy and fishy! my two favorite
things. I cannot wait to cook Filipino food for you all when I get back!.
Sister Lael is so sweet when she talks to me she talks really slow so I will be
able to understand. haha! She is a returned missionary and very active in the
church.
Sending pictures...
First of all we have pics of my apartment. it is really nice but we have no
hot water and no shower and no toilet that flushes. Also we have a really bad
ant problem!!!
Well there you go family I love you all and I am happy. I miss you but I
will see you soon. Read your scriptures everyday!!!! I am not kidding! The book
is true and so amazing! I love it!
