Week 71

welp. it happened. ive been transferred for my last 6 weeks to a new area. I dont know where yet. but it is kind of upsetting. But I am glad to say that I know I've left  this area better than I found it. We have awesome RCs that are active (where as the others are not... yet) and we have members who are finding joy in missionary work and are losing the fear of giving referrals. We have branch members trying to do more home and visiting teachings. And it will keep improving here. But why do I ahve to leave? Gahhh.

Anyways- we had a good week. On tuesday we show up to a less active family who was in the middle of packing up chicaron (pork rinds in English i think) and we got to help!! it was super fun! and i ate a ton hahaha. Then we had just a fun time. We have this one investigator that we recently found, Jeffrey, who like met an Elder 10 years ago and was given a pass along card. Then never was taught but KEPT the pass along. Then he met us and really wanted to know more.(oh and he lives like down the street from the church. but has been too shy to just show up). We have been teaching him and he is sooooo ready. Its like so amazing. And we already have members fellowshipping him. Then there is Liza and her kids who are doing good and will be baptized soon too. Things are going so well here. I am gonna miss it. Later we have an FHE with a bunch of members. It is so hard when you get close with people just to leave them! Anyways- hope you are all okay!

Week 70

Hello po sa inyo lahat! This past week was so crazy. We realigned the areas so we had a new area with no one to teach. So we tracted. We literally went door to door. AND ! Miracle! We got in A TON! We had a lot of lessons last week considering we had to do so much finding. And we had interviews with the mission President that took up and entire 3PM onwards (LONG!) and then it was General Conference! I loved conference! I learned so much! And had a lot of questions and prayers answered. I encourage everyone to watch and read and study the words of our living Prophet and Apostles. I hope you are all doing good! Sorry not a lot of stories this week! Mahal ko kayo!

week 69

Things were CRAZY this week! We had exchanges on Tuesday which was super fun BECAUSE my companion was Sister Andrada! She goes home in two weeks. It’s crazy how different it all was compared to back when I was in training! Shows me I really have improved! That was nice. Then on Thursday we find out that was have to move apartments! ASAP! Like they wanted us to move that day- we told them we couldn’t! Ha! We set it up for Saturday to move. But it was super stressful! We just moved in with the other Sisters here in Polangui, there apartment is for 4 Sisters anyways. But we go to move in and the apartment was disgousting. Sooo we had to clean that- which was super tiring. But now! Everything is done and moved in and cleaned. And its all good. And now we can work closer to the church and more like in Sentro which is safer. But it means we like have had to drop all our investigators and whole teaching pool and this week will be starting over from scratch almost. We kept a few of the really progressing people out in our old area but very few. So yeah things will be fun this week- literally going house to house. I LOVE TRACTING! Ha. Well I will after this week. We also had Zone training this week on top of everything. IT was super good and made me realize how we can improve our teaching by using members more. We have some awesome members here who are willing to work with us so its great. Then we watched the General Womens Conference this past Saturday. I loved it! It really had me thinking about how we need to be a TRUE disciple of Jesukristo! I am trying to change and do all that my Heavenly Father needs me to do. This week is like a start over and I am taking as a chance to really change and become a better missionary, following the Spirit is all I do. Pray for me that I have something to report next week ha and not just that we went from house to house with no success! Mahal ko kayo!
