Oh no. I am afraid I have broken my promise. My emails have become boring haven't they?! Alright let's make it more interesting shall we?
What are some things you'd like to know? What makes a missionary email worth reading? Let me know!
Let me just tell you some things that happened
1. BAPTISMS!! Wooo so happy, as always. Sister Marilyn was baptized by her husband and Sister Nicole was baptized by her grandfather. The other missionaries in our branch had a baptism as well and so there were many people in white!! I love seeing that so much. It's the happiest thing. Even the baptizers because it shows that they are staying worthy to be able to do that!
2. I spoke in Sacrament meeting HA. The topic I was given was the blessings of the Word of Wisdom and I just kind of winged it.
3. TRANSFERSS!!!!! Tomorrow, Sister Buenaflor is transferring to Pasig and I have a new companion coming in. Her name is Sister Ferrer and I don't know anything about her yet. But I am her follow up trainer so we will see how that goes! I still am in need of training myself!!
4. Ate lots of fish. Dried fish, fried fish, boiled fish, you name it! Fish is a huge part of the diet here in the province. I love it so much though! My mom would literally scream and die haha she hates fish. But it's soooo delicious!!!!!!
5. Teaching and visiting people I love! Nothing is better.
Anywayyyssss life is good! I'm excited for changes and a new transfer! I love that God gives us so many opportunities to change and be better. Even new days! My challenge for you is to wake up tomorrow and try and be the best you you can be. Go knock on that one neighbor's door you've never gotten to know. If you see someone begging on the street, go talk to them. Just ask them how their day is going, what it is they like to do... it's true that they WANT something from us but probably what they NEED is someone to connect with them. I love you all and please, share with me your experiences! Be safe and be happy always :)
