Happy Valentine's Day

It's also kind of hard to sum up this last week. So instead all just get into it. 

I feel like not many notable things happened this week. We had FHE for one of our investigator's birthday(her mom is a member) and we talked to her brother who is a teacher at a catholic school and we had a good conversation about the gospel and we asked if we could meet with him again sometime to just talk about religion for a while and he seemed super excited about it because he has some questions that he thinks we can answer. That was pretty cool. On Sunday, Elder Tuiaki and I were the back ups if the speakers didn't show up(of course) but they ended up coming in time so that was a relief but I felt like I had a good talk figured out based on this weeks Come Follow Me chapters. Jesus really does know what you are going through and all you have to do to see that is act on His words "Follow me." Something from the booklet really stuck out to me. It was the question would you have the faith to drop everything and follow the Savior and as I was thinking about it I got a little discouraged because I couldn't think of the things I would drop to follow Christ but then I realized, I'm already doing it, I just forgot. Being out here is doing exactly what He was telling me to do. That filled me with a lot of hope knowing that what I'm doing is what God wants me to do. That was the biggest spiritual thing of this week. We had dinner at the church again on Sunday and while we were there, the adults got into a bit of an argument about tattoos because Sister Mailo has one. It was kind of funny to listen to but kind of frustrating at the same time because they kept turning to me to explain it but whatever I said didn't seem to make any difference, so yeah. It was fine though. That's about it for this week!
Love you all! Hope you have a great Valentine's day and Single's Awareness day! I also just realized that my birthday is in 2 months from today so that's fun! Have a great week and know that all of you are in my prayers.

New Companion!

This is Elder Saberdo. He's my new companion here in Ballesteros. He's great! Now that you know him, I can get to my week. A lot happened but mostly we just visited the members this week so that they could meet Elder Saberdo. We also met this Nanay on Saturday night and just kind of invited her to church. The member we were working with that day waited until after our conversation to tell us that she is crazy. On Sunday, she came to church and started asking people for money and apparently, later after we left, she started calling people devils and went hysterical so one of the members called the police. So that was super fun. But, on another note, my companion has a super strong testimony so our lessons have been going great! I'm excited for this next week! I hope you all had and will have a great week! I love you all and I know that God has a plan for you! He will help you through anything you have a problem with if you just pray to Him!

Transfers!

Guess what?! I'm getting transferred! I know I sound happy about it but I have mixed feelings. I know it is where I am meant to go, I'm excited, but I also know I will miss Pasuquin and the people that make it great. It feels like I am going to be leaving my home all over again. We good though! I think this experience will truly be for my good! Also, I can brag that I out lived 5 sisters in Pasuquin! So this week, we had our interviews with President Peterson and I realized while we were there that I feel so comfortable talking with them so I was happy to find that out about myself. It was a good interview.  We also had another great lesson with someone Elder Dagulo and I found last week so that was awesome! Sisters Autufuga and Mariano are going home and I am going to Cagayan! I'm going specifically to an area called Ballesteros. I am not only transferring but also becoming the senior companion! That is super crazy for me. Elder Dagulo is going to have Elder Peterson (a ...

Happy Father's Day!

So Happy Father's Day to all those fathers and future fathers out there. Also, Happy Birthday Kenzie! This week has been a lot better so thank you for all the prayers that you may have sent my way! We had some great experiences this week but the highlight for this week was for sure Friday and Saturday. Friday, we had the baptismal interview for Maricel and she, obviously, passed so that was super cool then we went to another appointment with the Ulibas family. This is just a sweet Nanay and her son that have been super welcoming to us. That is actually where that picture with the Buko(coconut) came from. We taught them Lesson 1 and the spirit was so strong. It was one of those lessons where I was speaking words in Tagalog that I didn't know but I just threw them out because they felt right and it ended up being the right sentence structure and the right words so even my companion was surprised afterwards by how much Tagalog I spoke. But the lesson went great and they received ...
