SO MY EMAIL IS BEING DUMB IF YOU DON'T GET THIS EMAIL...MOM YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO LOVE YOU ALL


Any way this week was way cool. We got to work and there was no storm at all!

This week we were able to teach...hahaha ok give me a second I have to think!!!

OK so this week we had the opportunity to go on exchanges with the AP's hahaha that was way fun. We met this guy who is very old and only spoke little Tagalog...but he understood!! But it was fun watching the other 2 (there was 3 of us (one AP)) try there best Ilacono. We really had a great week though and are excited for this week!1

If you are wondering because I don't really say much about my apartment.....it's nice. No I don't use a bucket. I actually have a shower!!!! hahaha Well you have to turn it open with a wrench and it is still cold water so that's cool! we have a kind of story house. It's weird but our room is downstairs our kitchen is on the half floor and, yeah, we don't use the upstairs but for a closet because it's tooo HOT.

THE past week was cool.....I guess, we had a a huge storm that just did a number on the Ilocos and no one in the entire region had power but us thanks to maybe the wind mills.

I forgot.....I hit hump day!! thank you all for helping me and teaching me to do the best!!! Can't wait to see you in 1 YEAR

hey you guyz

First off I'm sorry, we went to an activity this morning and I thought we would go home first, but we went to the comp shop first so I don't have my camera stuff but next week will do because I have a ton of pics from this morning.

This week was a little tough...I said last week that out mission president came to sacrament to help us out.....it helped....but this week as we taught we taught the brother involved in the thing...he says he still knows the church is true but doesn't want to go because he doesn't like the leaders (local that is). We told him go to Pagudpud...he won't because he doesn't like the district president. Then the hardest part came. We began to teach another person who had told us all the stuff the brother who doesn't wanna go to church told her some things. As I heard these things and went home to study I am in Alma in the Book of Mormon, the war chapters....I have read many times.."and he stirred the people in anger"  This is by far the most challenging thing I have faced....but we taught her...we stressed about it over and over and over...but as any other BoM prophet would do, we prayed. for her and the area!...the Sunday lesson that this girl gave was what I feel an answer to her prayer.....I hope she sees it too....

ANY WAY my bike sucks! Funny story, last night it broke, ride-able, but no peddle......so Elder Pereda fixed up his bag handed me the strap and towed me home.......

THIS morning we went to a place called Hannahs...not going to lie I wouldn't mind honeymooning there...it rocks!!!! That's where a lot of my pics came from this week!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALLLLLL SOOO MUCH have a stoked week!!!!!

P.S wala...joke lang

P.P.S next week pics

BIKES YO

I LITERALLY HATE BIKES.....mine has been a huge pain in my side....and my hands and my money.......BUT I got some DOPE upgrades.....and when I say that I just mean new seat post and peddles.....

ANY WAY....I think I have been in a bus more than I have my own area this week....I went to Claveria....it's in Cagayan. That's my first time to be there.....like a boss...And went on exchanges with elders who have some sweet comp unity.... but they still got nothing on us!! BOOOM not bragging I promise...

Yeah so after what happened last week at church, President Andrada came to church...wow every one was on their best behavior.....hahaha it was pretty fun...

I really love this work, this area, this everything. I have never loved something that tears you more emotionally, mentally and physically than this...I love it and it loves me. well here'a some pics haha

Have a great week!!!

​my former or now companions 

ummmm yes her shirt says OSU Cowboys. 

​no helemt no ride...and a mad delish sugar butter roll 

​yeah thats life yo! 

​derrrrr,... ​it says " FORBIDDEN TO PEE HERE"

​ ​this is where it doesn't want you to pee

BAGUI

I don't think I said this last week but my new companion is a Filipino ELDER PERADA ( PER-ADA...yes like the town in Oklahoma) and is way cool he goes home with Elder Robles. We love it in this area and are having sooo much FUN!!

Well day one we go there and it was pretty much the average day got on the bus went to the area bought food and went to work after studies!

SO day 2 is where we start having fun!!! so the area is up kinda in the mountains and there was this curve that we were coming down and it was dirt and then concrete. I was just following Pereada but I guess I took the turn to sharp, tried stopping and put my foot down...wrong-o lets just say I was on the ground on my back...I AM OK!!! just the hand thing you know...but I mean I'm a pro at falling so wasn't my first rodeo. I think the best part was listening to the lady freak out and run to me ahhaha in English "ARE YOU OK!!!" but I thanked her and said next time I will do better.

Then after that day my bike just sucked.....seat broken, pedal wala na. haha but I don't complain cause that what my trainer said never do....

OUR COMPANIONSHIP is so strong we get along so well...we actually have a baptism Saturday and it's going to be cool. We are in a meeting house that has a baptism font...OUTSIDE LIKE A BOSSSS hahaha ah man I'm just waiting to go north and try it in the ocean! MY batch (Kid I went to the MTC with) did it in the RIVER!!!!!

SUNDAY......was just ahh.....MIDDLE OF PASSING WATER one of the members decided to just be rude.....idk and the passer got mad..they pretty much almost fought in sacrament....our RC tore the kid off before he swung....NEEDLESS to say we went to that rc after he had a cig in hand and just didn't care for life......I being new bore testimony first.....hard to do..I feel comfortable in my Tagalog..but with a little spirit..ahhh it was hard.  any way

SO YESTERDAY I HAD MLC that's why I am here now.......IT was way fun and stands for missionary leadership council......it was all great until this one thing happened....I don't know if it was a hardening of hearts or what....I'll just say this, the last scripture President Barrientos shared with us was John the Baptist about Jesus....I must decrease and he must increase...now that's what President B's council was for us...but In the MLC elders were comparing and murmuring about the things President Adrada was doing. right in front of him to him....it was embarrassing...I just....ah I had to step back and just breath and pray for president....he's a month into a calling of hastening the work all the council he gives is from hand books and PMG but it was so hard for some people to take in as if the were hard hearings.......I hope their hearts will soften and they with sustain our leaders

Well that's all for the week love you all!!!
ET

So The sad part of this week was saying BYE to everyone.....that stuff was hard!
