General Conference, But a Week Later

So I haven't actually watched General Conference yet sadly but I will get to next week. So as a brief summary of our week, we did a service project to help some one renovate their house, we are still teaching and some of them seem golden, and we had fast Sunday. If you are just wanting to know how I'm doing, I'm great! I'm getting this out of the way so I can tell a long story but those that don't want to read it can see how I'm doing. 

So on Wednesday, we were on our way to San Isidro but on the way there, we didn't feel like we should go that way. So, we went back to central to see if that is where we were supposed to go. We felt the way to go was Puyupuyan, which we did. Then, all the people we were going to visit were not there. So, being kind of confused, we went to Naglicuan to try to visit a member that was in the clinic recently. On our way there, we passed the house of some one we're teaching. We thought we heard some one say elder from the house so we went to say hi. It wasn't the person we are teaching and they didn't even say elder but, as we were there, the person we are teaching drove up. We were able to teach a really good lesson. It was super powerful and then we were able to talk to the member that we had set out to talk to. 

I would urge you all to follow the prophet's council from this conference. The Lord will truly keep his side of the covenants you have made with him as long as you keep your side. I add my testimony to the countless others that President Russell M. Nelson is the Lord's mouthpiece on the Earth today and as we follow his teachings, we are truly following His teachings. I love you all!

PS: Oh! I don't usually forget these things but Happy Birthday to my brother Chris! And to Anna Low later this week! And to me later this week. It's so weird to me that I will be turning 19 in just 3 days but that's what's happening! Love you all again!

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 ...
