SO DON'T THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM IN MY COMPANIONSHIP JUST WAIT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN....

So this week was tough as in we faced defeat talaga.... hahaha on Thursday we were in an area called Lanao. We went to one appointment and they weren't at the house and then after we went to a house nearby....to our surprise we saw the sisters with our previous appointment and our next appointment going to a house we went to earlier that afternoon.

I told Elder Ramos to text pres to tell him we wanted to be transferred, but he said we would only respond if it was extreme...so he told him we wanted an ET. Sure enough he called, asked what happened...I had to be the one to talk to him...and I told him all the troubles that we have seen or faced this week...that's a lot.....in short what I said was "this branch has had a bad experience with elders I think its time to have just sisters"

OUR LIFE ROCKS!!! I hope all of you had a great week!!

Other than that I heard there might be a tsunami so yeah I AM SAFE just hope the best for the members who live near the sea. BUT I LOVE this work and all those I talk to everyday. WE love our companionship and get a long so well hahaha I love it! TOMORROW IS mission conference so I get to see some peeps so that's cool!

SO the other night we were walking and we thought it was a short cut..it was kinda but it was junk!!! but so dark and Elder Ramos kept pulling pranks...did you know if you run passed a cow they freak out!!!

I FORGOT MY CAMERA....next week na lang

HOPE YOU ALL ARE GREAT!!!!
LOVE
ET

It's almost 1st Christmas

UM YEAH so as a missionary there are things you get way excited for...1st Christmas is not like regular Christmas it's.... GENERAL CONFERENCE...so will say this now...I see it a week after all of you in America...don't spoil it. Yeah thanks....love you

ANY way so this week was way cool! I loved it very much hahaha BUT IT WAS SO HARD

We have noticed that when we split the area we lost a lot of or investigators and RC that we teach....SO WE DID A TON OF FINDING...lucky for me I have 2 companions Elder Ramos and the spirit to guide us....we found some wonderful people and some...well, they are still wonderful just not a fan of us......imagine that people don't like us.....hahahaha...

SO this week we had ZTM this is were we take the training that President Andrada gave us and train the elders and sisters in are zone alongside the Sister Training Leadrers or STL....so that is way fun!!!! hahaha

But on a harder note I was able to talk to one of the members here who I have seen go from active to less active to apostasy....As we talked he expressed the thoughts that satan has entered into the church due to what he says is poor leadership and other things I will keep to myself. As we continued I said "Brother, can we at least stop by and teach" his response was don't...I know what my lesson is.....my heart hurt, I felt my eyes water, but he said elder it's ok...we are still friends.....

life is rough....

BUT IF THERE IS ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED IS PRAYER AND FAITH MIXED WITH A TON OF HOPE


WELL THAT IS ALL. I AM HAPPY AND LOVE MY WORK!

ET

I will send pics soon after my comp done with my quan

​I LOVE MY MISSION

Elder Ramos made a ton of sopas..Tagalog....with the spam grandma spent (fun fact I like that and tuna......) also it's crazy expensive here so it was nice to get it for free.....but there was so much and Elder Ramos was just like " man lets use these for bowls...hahahaha sooo good! 

This is weird!

SO my email is still being dumb but bear with me!

AnyWAY this week was fun I guess!! hahaha but it's transfers and my new comp is Elder Ramos. He's in my batch going home so that's cool.

THIS week was pretty slow but that's ok we still had fun!! I am really going  to miss my comp he's hecka coolo!

This week we saw 2 investigators at church both really great ones, just need to be married!

HASTENING THE WORK UPDATE

So there is this huge church here for short its just INC. It's a Spanish name.
Basta they are pretty much in the early stages of apostisy. It's sad to say but it's just part of hastening the work.....They are the kind of church who rule the land who the politics try to impress! To get there 3 million followers to vote that is that.

I love my work!!! hahaha There is something fun!!!! so MY BIKE we were coming down a steep rocky hill and my back tire is super sad and no track so the brake didn't work but the front did!! yeah I'm dumb!!! I didn't get too hurt, just a scrape or two and a bruise on my knee...that's cool!!!!


WELL I FORGOT MY CAMERA

This week also we are moving out! to another apartment.....it's way nice, smaller but nice!!!!!! YAY for privacy

Well I think that's it!!! I miss you all, but it's less than a year;)

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


BASTA  I CAN'T THINK BUT I HAVE PICTURES

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!!!
