Happy New Year again! I hope you all are loving the new year as much as I am! One of the things I am enjoying so far is the new Come Follow Me curriculum. I can already see that it is so needed and will be so awesome for all who truly seek. I haven't taken many pictures and I won't be saying tons in this email because it was a full week of not much but it was still a good week!
Monday: We played football with all 3 zones that are centered in Laoag City and I was quarterback for my team. Syempre my team won even though I was on the opposite team of my companion. For those who don't know, I can throw pretty well. We went shopping and had dinner with Sister Barbie. We obviously partied and watch all the fireworks go off then went to bed. I'll let you decide if I was obedient or if I had fun.
Tuesday: Of course I had fun. We went to bed today. We did go out and try to talk to people but most of them were either asleep or not there so we ended up walking around for a long time. Not much ended up happening today.
Wednesday: District meeting today. Also, I had a little 3 point contest with Elder Tuiaki and let's just say I was 7/12 when we were asked to leave. People weren't really at their houses so we didn't do tons today either.
Thursday: We've started to do basketball as our morning exercises which is super fun for me. We help a member move his business and when I say move, I mean we MOVED it. We legit walked a trailer down the road(with cars going by us) with a bunch of stuff in it. It was a lot of work. They also fed us while we worked. And after we worked. And then took us to lunch right after that. I am amazed how much some people can eat. We walked to Naglikuan just to have no one at the house we were trying to go to so we went to someone else's house and they said yes to our baptismal invitation! They are wonderful kids so I hope they continue. You can see so many stars here and it is beautiful!
Friday: We didn't do much today because we weren't feeling well.
Saturday: Today was an eternity! We started out by studying and I felt like I had studied for a long time. I looked up at the clock, it wasn't even 9 yet! We went out and taught, gave another blessing and ate. We went to one of our farther areas and spent way more time there than we thought we would. We walked by a house that we were planning on just passing but we were waved in! This sweet Nanay told us that she just finished a prayer asking to see the missionaries! We talked with her for a bit and she fed us. We then walked a long way to an appointment that was supposed to be a dinner appointment but some of them were already asleep for the night so we just talked for a while and then went home. It may not seem like a long day for you but it felt like a long day for me.
Sunday: We picked up Kings and Janela(the kids that accepted the baptismal invite) and went to church. It was really interesting to only have 2 hours. The lessons went well though. We had lunch at a members house(it was their birthday). We had an area broadcast that was pretty cool. They talked about the area plan that they have had for the last 3 years and are keeping again because it is set up well. We had a lot of sisters because the sisters from Bangui and Pagudpud(4) were all here for the broadcast and they wanted to spend p-day with those of us in Pasuquin.
