Week 18

Monday. We had family home evening and played a game where you write on a piece of paper and everyone tries to guess who wrote it. I lost because I'm so different from all the Philippines

Tuesday. We had district meeting in Lucban, then after found this Italiano restaurant that had some pretty good calzones.  I started getting a sore throat as we started working, Satan is a BOBO

Wednesday. Started getting sicker and sicker, we met this RCLA who went to the hospital because he had heart problems and no one in the church visited him so he got super hurt about it and left the church. We told him that the people didn't know because he didn't text them. but he wouldn't have it.  We also had another good lesson with our new member JUN he was struggling a bit so we gave him a blessing and he said he wanted to bless the sacrament this weekend so that was awesome. 

Thursday. One of our investigators kind of went missing, last thing we heard was that she was taking care of her boyfriends mother at this house, that was like 3 weeks ago so we went out to find her. After a few questions and really good revelation filled guesses we found the house and we found the place she was staying at. She was surprised to see us and we told her that God cares about her and she needs to come to church and prepare to be baptized, it was a good lesson. That night we had an exchange, this time I was with elder Jalova who is my batch. We were in the manilla mtc together. and I'm going to Lucban for the day. When I showed up they were in the middle of fiesta! Imagine a rave but more Spanish. so fun.

Friday. Had exchanges I helped and taught a lot of lessons to people and it was just a good day. a nice change of pace from normal things. 

Saturday. we baptized 5 people. 4 kids and one nanay. I did my first baptism ordinance it was really fun but I was nervous and ended up doing it really good so that's dope. Then right after I changed my clothes I received a call from the AP That I will be transferred this Thursday to IBAAN LIPA. I was sad at first cause I feel like the work here isn't done, but that's okay, the lord knows whats best. 

Sunday. the ward had me give a small testimony cause I was leaving so that was fun. I just said thank you for everything and they all felt the spirit. then we taught kisha and she is back to progressing. she said she wanted a temple marriage and her boyfriend isn't best for her.

Wish I could have been at Grandmas funeral, it was so pretty. I hope it wasn't too sad, shes in a happier place and in a years time she will experience joy that she could never imagine! (but maybe that;s just the missionary in me) it is sad and change sucks sometimes, but look at it this way, after we are all sealed. its just like a small break, you will see her again. Glad my cutout made it though

Keeping it real out here in west phillies. love you all see you next week!
