Lots of Rain!

I promise my companion is not as crazy as my pictures make him seem. He just is a goof. Also, I'm wet in that picture because it was raining. You just can't see it. Happy Birthday to my Uncle David and Elder Kirkby! This week, we were able to find in a very natural way. Namely, it was pouring rain and someone offered us a ride to central. We found out that they lived in our area and we were able to introduce ourselves to them and share a bit before we got to central. We got so wet that day, it was easier to see without my glasses than with them! I was absolutely soaked through my clothes. Not only that but the lightning was blindingly bright and the thunder sounded like the end of days. It sounded like an earthquake! It was really fun to be a part of because I, like my sister, love rain. We were also able to find by playing basketball with some members and their nonmember friends. That is one of my favorite ways to find to be honest. You really can find using things that you like to do. We had dinner with our branch president and others. We were able to talk about the gospel and they were able to ask me questions about America. We went to a birthday party for Tatay Batuyong where a bunch of drunk guys told me they loved me and tried speaking English. It was interesting to me that drunk English sounds the same here as it does in America. We made district shirts which can be seen in the pictures, it's the blue one. I think they look really good! 

On Sunday, I bore my testimony about President Nelson's talk in Priesthood session. It was a powerful talk especially for a missionary that could probably do better. I loved the talk and how President Nelson started out by saying that repentance is a good thing and should be done everyday. I found this to be true as I was preparing for my mission and as I have been on my mission. Repentance is a way to turn to God(your thoughts, actions, wants, lahat). Later that day, we had dinner and a lesson at the Agudelo's house. I absolutely love the members here! They are always so willing to help us especially when we ask for help. This is like Jesus. He is so willing to help us and all we need to do is ask. He will help us! I love you all!

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 ...
