Week 32

Well this past week was a long one. But it's okay! One thing I thought of to mention- here in the Philippines whenever you ask someone for directions or like where something is in a store- they go with you to find it or get it. And if they can't they ask someone else to take you. It was really awkward at first but now I'm used to it. People here are just like really nice. We were teaching this old Nanay last night and like we finish the lesson and like were about to ask to say a closing prayer when she brings us out dinner. It was SO SO kind of her. They are kind of struggling (like most people here) with money and with just like having food. I always hate when people feed us who hardly have enough food for themselves. But she just loves us and missionaries so much and is just such a kind sweet old Nanay. She is a member, we are trying to get her to go to the temple but the problem is money. She come to church most weeks now since I've been here. I really like her. We had zone training this past week which was great. We learned a lot about the importance of teaching people and really focusing on their needs. And not just teaching lessons and going about things fast as if they weren't imporant. Because like I am sharing the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. This is important for people to understand and to live. So I am trying to really focus and understand different concerns on the people right now. I got MARAMING MGA SULAT! (many letters) this week. So salamat sa indo gabos! (thank you to you all in bicol) And I will work on writing you all back. It has been SO SO cold here. Like really I have worn like sweaters almost everyday. I think there is a storm somewhere south of here right now so we have like a low pressure point. So it is so windy and just cold (well cold for here in the Pines). SO yeah thats my week. I hope you are all doing good. Namimiss ko kayo!
