An email with details!!!<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3305" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Hello to anyone and everyone who is reading this!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3304" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3301" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
How are you all?! I hope you're all doing weel. I'm doing good. And, just as expected, I'm not transferring! I get another 6 weeks here in Inabanga Green. Heaven on Earth. I'm excited to watch our recent converts continue to grow and hopefully witness a couple more baptism before I leave here. :D </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3300" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3299" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So we have this investigator who was found by Sister P and Sister S. And we've been teaching her this whole time and we were running out of patience and ideas because she's been reading the Book of Mormon and has a strong testimony of that and of Joseph Smith. But she just wouldn't come to church! So last week, we took over some fellowshippers for the first time. And oh boy did it work. We had a great lesson and she came to church last Sunday! Not only did she come to church, but she brought her 3 kids. And, during Relief Society, she shared a really spiritual personal experience and bore testimony of the power of prayer. It was amazing! She did it all willingly. Yesterday, when we visited her, she just kept saying about how she was just overwhelmed with the Spirit on Sunday. And she had so many great questions. It was really an miracle. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3185" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3057" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then we went to the T's home to do their first family home evening with them. And we were having an absolute blast and teaching them how to do it so they can start doing it on their own and all that jazz. Man I love that family so much. All of our recent converts. We're family and this is our first family reunion in a long time. I'm so happy to have this opportunity to reunite with them :D </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3332" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Anyways, down in Tontunan, where they live, there is no cellphone signal. So, during the closing prayer when we suddenly received a series of rapid texts, we were shocked. All of them from Sister I - her mission call had come! President Tanner was over here on Bohol for zone interviews and he brought it to her! Unfortunately, we were clear down in Tontunan (about 30-40 mins away from her house, or longer depending on how long the wait for transportation is.) Luckily, Sister I loves us. And because last Thursday night, when we were doing a FHE with their family, she got the text that her call was in, she promised us that she'd wait until we could be there with her!!! So we ran up Tontunan hill (poor Sister Orzal looked like she might have a heart attack) and as soon as we stepped onto the highway, a tricycle heading to Clarin came by and picked us up! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3333" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Slowest tricycle ride ever. And the driver had to stop to pee on the side of the road. I was like: "FOR REAL?! Sister I has her mission call!!!!" Anyways, we go there just in time. We ran down Tangaran to where she lives and were greeted by a large crowd of ward members. We all rushed inside her balay and she opened it.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3335" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Ah. So, from our tiny Inabanga Brach, which averages about 100 people (if the R family comes. If not, it's like 85...) we have Bro. J who leaves in August, another brother leaving in September and Sister I leaving in October. Sister J's papers are in, so none of us will be surprised if she leaves in November! It's super special. I love Inabanga so much!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3339" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Ah so last Monday, we had a zone activity. We all went down to the beach on this island off the coast of Calape. Here in Calape Zone we have 26 people and one 12 passenger van. Luckily, the rules about seats and seatbelts aren't applicable here. So 24 of us (Sister W and Sister J didn't come) piled into that 12 passenger van and droved down to Calape! I was standing on the side with Sister T because all the seats and laps and floor were taken. It was crazy fun! We had a great time playing beach volleyball and enjoying the sand. It was a perfect day - there were clouds, so the sand wasn't blazing hot - but it didn't rain! So perfect. It was way fun. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1406778979196_3341" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Not pictured: Sister W and Sister J who didn't come to our Zone Activity at the Calape Beach, and Sister T (from Fiji) and Elder T (our other zone leader) who were taking the pictures. Now, sweet Sister V has gone home!</span><br />

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84257">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84262">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Been awhile since I started in English. Thought I'd try it :D</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84260">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84261">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alright. Yeah, I've been AWOL for like 3 weeks. Cuz I'm in the Bukid and the only city is Tagbi. So if we need important things, we have to go there...and traveling there is like 4 hours there and back. So it consumes like our whole P-day! So I'm sorry I've lacked email time...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this past June 24, M got baptised. She's a convert from Iglesia ni Kristo. I've been teaching her since my first week here :D The picture attached is at her baptism, with Elder Meliang, Elder Fox (who baptized her), her husband (who is getting baptized this Saturday - July 12, along with 5 of our other investigators) and Sister Orzal and I.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So yeah. This coming Saturday, July 12, we'll have 6 baptisms and another one is working out some stuff and will probably be baptized the first week of August if he keeps progressing like he is right now :D</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84272">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aright. Questions now: </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84271">
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Tell us about your new companion.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sister Orzal. Where do I start?!? This Sister is SO amazing. The past few weeks with her have flown by. She is so obedient in every way, and always learning and helping and just being awesome. She teaches me so much and I love her to death. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84270">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. What was the hardest thing you have had to do as a trainer?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Umm...training hasn't actually been difficult. I'm more of just a senior companion - Sister Orzal came pre-trained. I thought the language would be hard, but it's not bad. I thought I'd have to do all the teaching, but she's already participating a ton. So it actually hasn't been hard yet. She's just so good!!!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84274">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Tell us about an investigator.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84277">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84276" style="color: magenta; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmm....we have this one investigator named J. She's in her late 50's or early 60's. She lives an interesting life. She had 3 kids - her oldest is C. Her other son lives in Cebu and she doesn't see him a lot. And her youngest, J., who was killed by a stray bullet and died on Christmas day a few years ago due to blood loss. That was right after her husband had died and so they couldn't afford the blood they needed to save J.'s life. Now, after several years, she has a new man in her life and they're working on getting married. Last night, we went to her house and had the opportunity to teach her about the Plan of Salvation. She recognized the truth of our message through the peace that came with knowing where her husband and son are right now and that she can see them again one day. It was really spiritual and she really felt it. She can get baptized once her and her boyfriend are married.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84279">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. With your new companion, who does the cooking? </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84280">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mostly Sister Orzal. She actually knows how to cook. Sometimes I cook....and I always help. Usually I wash the dishes and put the rice in the rice cooker and she cooks the sud-an. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a side note, I when I went to Cebu to pick up Sister Orzal, I met one of her batch - Sister DeTal. and Sister DeTal told me that she's read my blog! Followed by: "You're so much prettier in person!" haha...is that a...compliment?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, we have this giant hill. Like it takes a good 15 mins to walk up and you're doing lunges up it. It's the short way to this one family so we walk down and up it a lot. It's either short and steep or 45 mins one way. So when Elder Fox and Elder Meliang came to do the baptismal interviews for the family, they got to go up and down the hill. They also brought our Branch Mission Leader, brother M. On the way up the hill, Elder Meliang sat down on the ground half way through and told us he could go no farther. Followed by a comment from Brother M: "Moniwang si Sister Warner." Which basically means: "Sister Warner's gonna get skinny. Followed by a round of laughter. Lolz! I've been walking up that hill for 2 months now! (Not with Sister Salima cuz she didn't wanna do it....it's really hard.)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The work here is really being hastened. I'm so lucky to be a part of it. The coolest thing about the mission, the thing that makes it all worth it, is watching these people really change their lives. Like <i>huge </i>changes. And watching the spark of the light of the Gospel become a bright burning flame within them. That radiates in their countenances. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84285">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No fireworks on the Fourth of July. Unless you count the fireworks in the eyes and souls of the missionaries and the investigators when they are given the "go-ahead" for baptism. When their salvation is almost palpable - right there, within reach. And they're grasping it with their whole hearts. There is no replacement for those fireworks. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84286">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll leave you with a quote I saw on the back of Sister Mahinay's planner.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84287">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1404707406967_84288">

Tuesday night at 11pm (so late!) We got the text that Sister Hatch would be going to Tagbi...and I would be staying and training a new missionary!!!! </div>

Meet Sister Orzal - my first anak <span style="color: #274e13;"><b>(GREENIE!)</b></span> in the mission!!!! She's so awesome. She's from Luzon and speaks Tagalog. Which sometimes proves difficult in lessons cuz I don't speak Tagalog very well. But, needless to say, my Tagalog has increased 20 fold in the last few days! She's teaching me a lot. And she's still learning English!</div>

Enjoy the picture of the awesome dragonfly. This type of dragonfly is all over our area. And they move really slowly, so you can pick them up and hold them and stuff. They just play dead when you pick them up and hold really still. I'll send a picture of me holding one. It's pretty cool. And they really are that bright red color.</div>

So...we have this awesome investigator who will be baptized in a few weeks named Sister G. She's 20 and she has a 9 month old son named A. And we went to teach her the other day and when we showed up, A in this frilly little pink shirt with ruffles. Then I told Adam that real men wear pink - he just smiled. He doesn't understand anything yet...still too young. But it turned out Sister G had just bought that for him when she went to ukay-ukay ("oo-k-eye oo-k-eye" like a yard sale - it's piles of left over clothes from Goodwill and DI that are sold here for a really cheap price and it's basically the only way people here can buy clothes). She went there to buy some modest clothes because we had taught her the Law of Chastity and how modesty applies. In terms of all my investigators with a baptismal date, she really gets it. She was so prepared. We had to drop her for a transfer (with Sister Salima) to get her there, but now, she really learns, understands and applies. So even though she's poor, when we taught her the L.O.C. she went out and bought a whole new wardrobe so that she could live the law of modesty. She's absolutely amazing. She really is grounded in Ang Basahon ni Mormon and trusts God so much. She's getting baptized on July 12. </div>

So sorry this is gonna be brief. We had a zone activity down in Loboc - we went on the Loboc River Tour with the Talbots and Sister Tanner. So. Much. Fun. It was gorgeous!<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes. One of us will probably be transferring. Not sure who, but I feel like changes will be made!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday...we had 7 investigators at church! They're all have baptismal dates within the next couple of weeks. So I hope I don't transfer! We just went to Gospel Principles Class with them and then Relief Society. We didn't teach yesterday, which was a first in weeks. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1402327683493_30550" style="color: black; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Umm...I wish I had more time to write about the miracles I've seen, but I just don't have time today cuz of the Zone Activity. But I will share one miracle. So the Loboc River Trip takes place on a floating restaurant. And it costs P400. Expensive. So everyone was trying to plan which meals to skip so that they could afford to go and such. So Sister Hatch and I were gonna skip dinner a couple of days to afford it (lolz...) and then, we got fed. Dinner Thursday-Saturday. And Sunday night, this family we're close with gave us 3 Kilos of rice and veggies. Wow. Miracle! The Lord is aware even of our desires and is willing to help us out! Even when it comes to affording zone activities....</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;">BY THE WAY: There is a picture of my arm. I took a little tumble down our stairs cuz my flip-flops were wet and I was running down the stairs and slipped! Got several deep bruises on the left side of my body. Right side escaped unscathed cuz I grabbed the rail. One on my arm, two on my back, one on the back of my thigh and one on the back of my calf. It actually didn't hurt until that night when I went to sleep then....ouch!!!</span></div>

The next week, she was having brown outs (electricity loss) so we only got bits and pieces. Here is her May 25, 2014 email. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: monospace; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kamusta mo?!</span></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1401680370491_12508" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1401680370491_12507" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, as you can tell about my totally nonchalant title for this thing...I'm out of creative juices! It's been a long week. A looong week. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1401680370491_12504" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1401680370491_12501" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My new companion, Sister Hatch, likes to run. So, every morning at 5:30 am, we wake up. And we pray. And put on our running clothes and shoes. And we run until about 6:30. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hard. But I love it! And it gives us time to explore our area. The people here are up with the sun and down with the sun, so often I think that the work here would be more successful if we could start earlier in the day...but that's okay. We can explore while we run.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we stretch and shower and eat breakfast and study and work! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know if the running helps necessarily...since our area is super bukid and we spend the day hiking mountains as it is.....*Give me, mountains to climb!* How true that song is. I sing it every day!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm having internet difficulties again...so I'm gonna make this quick! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We moved to Clarin! Tuesday we spent all day paling around with the Talbots and moving from Calape to Clarin. We got to go to this super awesome store called Bohol Beads (they go home in July and wanted some gifts for their families) and this awesome hotel in Tubigon (the Robertson's and Tanner's are in Bohol right now so we helped pick out rooms for them and make reservations) called the Monina RM. So nice. And there's a super nice restaurant inside...I've eaten there once after a district meeting. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Funny story: Sister Hatch and I were teaching a lesson the other night and one of those cute, cute little tiki's crawled on the ceiling and then pooped on Sister Hatch's leg. Haha - that's the first time I've seen that happen!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18130">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What an exciting week. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18129">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18128">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, our zone activity! Last Wednesday, we piled into the Zone Leader's van (except the Ubay district because they're so far away) and drove to this lake. It was SO beautiful! Sister Hatch and I found this trail and went running on it, but I only had flipflops and it was raining. So they broke. So I had to run 3/4 of the trail around the lake barefoot! It was super scary cuz all the creepy crawlies here...but I lived! At one point we went to cross a little stream and I stepped in what I thought was a little bit of mud and ended up sinking down to my knees! Whoo....it was a bit deeper than I thought. We finished our run around the lake wet from the rain (and sweat *gross* cuz it was SO hot) and dirty. But it was a blast!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18127">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18126">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then Thursday, we piled back into the Zone Leader's van and headed up to Loon for a CSP! We filled the Talbot's truck with shovels, gloves, picks and spent the morning breaking and hauling rocks in the oven-like heat. It was for the member that Elder Teh talked about at General Conference...the one who's most valuable possession is her Temple recommend and she's happy despite losing her daughter and grandson in the Earthquake. We all got sunburned (or darker) and sweat litres. But we stopped and got delicious shakes on the way home (I got avacado/buko pandan which is avacado and coconut. It's delicious.)</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_18059">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_11963" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Lots of work this week, too. Sister Salima and I climbed a mountain on Friday and walked for miles and miles yesterday. It was Fiesta - Patron: San Isidro Labrador for the areas we were working in. The day was filled with drunk people smoking, playing volleyball, basketball and participating in videoke. Quite the adventure. People were drunk and having a party, but because it was Fiesta, they wanted to hear the Word of God, too. </span>Going home Saturday night and Sunday night was quite the journey. All of the simbahans(churches) turned into discohans(clubs) for fiesta. Strobe lights, colorful dance lights, rock music and lots of food. It was really interesting to see....</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_11964" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1399598957043_11965" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">So the money came in for the new Clarin B sister's apartment. They should be cleaning it up and moving in within the next week or so! It might be Sister Salima and I or whoever the new companion is. When we move, I will miss Calape. I will miss the Talbots. But I won't miss the music. Every morning our neighbor turns on his radio full blast. It's hard to concentrate when you have Kesha playing full blast. But on special occations, he turned on Classic Opera and Musical songs which reminded me of the Ballams and Utah Festival Opera -that I will miss! Mostly just Sunday Mornings when I get to hear songs like "The Impossible Dream" or "Ave Maria." </span></span></div>

<span style="color: red;">Joke lang. Just San Jose because here in Bohol it's FiEsTa!!! So their Patron Saint is San Jose. Right now, the streets are lined with yellow and green banners that say: "Happy Fiesta!" and all the people are gearing up for the great feasts that will occur this week. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>So we have this couple - they're so awesome. Mercy and Yul (short for Yulysses) They were found by Sister Pinkham and Sister Milligan back in...January I think. They were taught a few times by them, but never really progressed. Then, my first week in the field, Sister Salima and I decided to visit them. We visited their neighbors first and the neighbors mentioned that they were Iglesia ni Kristo...to those of you at home who are reading this, that probably doesn't sound like a big deal since Iglesia is only here in the Philippines. They have a reputation for not ever listening to the missionaries and for being really hard, hard investigators. So we were a bit leery of visiting them (Sister Salima and Sister Pinkham only taught them one time last transfer) but we went anyways. And after a great lesson, they told us they'd come to church. And they did! And they've come every week since then. They've payed tithing and fast offerings and participated in class and made great comments. And yesterday, they told us they want to be baptised and they want to go on a couples mission! </i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Oh my heck. Even though it was like an oven outside and we were all sweating like crazy, I still managed to get chills. Unfortunately, they don't want to be baptized until June 24 (apparently the day that Jesus was baptized??? I'm not sure about that, but I'm just so happy for them.) so they're going to turn into a 6 missionary venture! Sister Pinkham and Sister Milligan who planted the seeds. Sister Salima and I who nourished them. And the two missionaries who are here in June will reap the harvest. And hopefully one day, in the next life, all 8 of us will sit together in the Kingdom of our Father and fully feel His joy. They are a miracle and I love them so, SO much. </i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'bookman old style', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Funny thing...hmm...Most of this week has just been happy. 'Not funny' per se, but just really happy. I guess one funny experience. So every night we take the bus home. And people bring all sorts of stuff on the bus. Most people don't have their own vehicle, they just use public transportation. So the other night we stopped to pick up a guy and this guy had like 4 mattresses, a giant stack of chairs and bags and bags of stuff for his tindahan. Lolz. And it ALL came on the bus with him. The mattresses and bags up on the top of the bus and the chairs taking up the back bench leaving no sitting room. The poor guy who was putting the mattresses up on top of the bus got stuck up their (cuz the bus driver just started driving) and had to crawl back into the bus through one of the windows! Oh man we were laughing so hard. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This week, the heat has been almost unbearable. You can break a sweat sitting outside in a lawn chair at 9:30 at night after the sun has been down for like 3 hours. But, when we teach and we lose ourselves in the teaching and in our work, we forget about the heat. One of the many blessings from our loving Father in Heaven who is aware of our every need. </i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<i>About 5:45-6:15 = Sister Salima and I both wake up. We never set the alarm because the sun is always so bright in the morning that there's no way you can sleep past 6:30. We have no curtains on our windows,so the sun is our alarm and that starts rising at about 5:00. We pray and then I take the fan back to the Sister Training Leaders who live next door. </i></div>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<i>If we're up by 5:45, then we go exercise. My favorite is when we run to the church in Calape and run laps around the church. Sister Salima prefers to exercise in the front yard doing more like muscle-y stuff.</i></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<i>10:00 I go next door and steal the STL's fan. We have no fan of our own so we borrow theirs for the night. We have an AirCon unit, but it's too expensive to use. So electric fan it is! We only have sheets on our bed. Even though we die in the heat every night, we put a flat sheet over us so that we don't get bit by mosquitoes during the night. Then <span style="background-color: transparent;">we read Ang Basahon ni Mormon together out loud until 10:30, when we pray and then lights out.</span></i></div>

<i>Next week is transfer week! So I've had some time to reflect back on this transfer. Yeah, it's gone by ridiculously fast. Sister Salima and I have had such a great transfer together. Good times and bad times. We've been persecuted - laughed at, made fun of, mocked, pointed at, and been treated poorly. But we've also been so loved, so cared for, and so, soblessed. Whether it was singing hymns to get over broken hearts due to rejection, or whether it was taking our roller-coaster-like bus rides home, spending more time in the air than in our seats and gripping the bars in front of us as hard as we can. Laughing as we get pelted by peanut shells and trash that people have attempted to throw out the windows unsuccessfully. It's been quite the transfer. I seriously have had an amazing time.</i></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clarin is 100% green! Right now it is banana season, so bananas are growing on the trees everywhere. And pinapples! It's my first time to see bananas and pinapples actually <i id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398282132136_7006">growing</i> on a plant. It's the coolest thing. Tons of bananas and tons of pinapples :D </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently it's the dry season, so it doesn't rain a whole lot. Mostly it's just SUPER hot! The rainy season will start up in June and, according to the people here, it will be raining just about every day. But when it rains here, it doesn't just rain. It pours! It rained last week and it was so strong it reminded me of the Fourth of July when the firetrucks spray their hoses. Even though Sister Salima and I both were using our umbrellas, we were soaked from the mid-thigh down. We finally stopped to hide under the roof of a tindahan. Then we went to teach our less-actives who live next door to the elders and were surprised to see the elders home (like 3pm). They had been hiking up in the bukid and didn't have umbrellas during the downpour and had been caked in mud and were sopping wet. So they had come home to shower right at that time. Haha. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have no idea when we'll move in, but it will probably be after transfers. So one of us might never get to stay in the new apartment! The owners of the apartment need a down payment to make repairs to it from damage from the earthquake. So then they'll clean it up and then we can move in. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">We already went shopping. We're gonna go home and clean and then watch General Conference in Visaya. We got a copy for one of our investigators. We'll give it to her later this week when we visit her.</span> </span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>WHAT DID YOU LEARN THIS WEEK?</u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This week...I learn so much every week. It's hard to pinpoint something specific. I guess I've been learning a lot about Jesus as I've been reading Jesus the Christ thoroughly with the New Testament. I'm coming to know who He is and what He did. And the more I learn about Him, the more I love Him. He's my Savior, Redeemer, my Lord and my Brother. </span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>TELL US ABOUT CHURCH.</u></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398282132136_8399" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The church is always packed! The work here is just booming. There are 6 missionaries in my branch. Sister Salima and I, Sister Wolfe and Sister Rineieta (from Kiribas) and Elder Fox and Elder McQuiston. Our Branch President jokes about how we're probably the only branch in the world with and Elder Fox and a Sister Wolfe haha :D The investigators class is so, SO packed every week. I love it! We have manuals and stuff and we use them :D it's awesome :D</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398282132136_8401" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This area is very poor. Most people have no transportation of their own. If they do have transportation, it's usually just a motor. They're very, very poor. Also it was very damaged by the earthquake. Especially Clarin. Every day we go by two HUGE churches...with only one wall still standing or just random parts still standing. The rest just crumbled to the ground. Lots of people still live in tents and the majority of houses is at least partially tarp. The damage in Clarin is really bad, but not as bad as Loon. If they have homes, it's like woven walls and roofs from like coconut tree leaves. Cement houses are rare. Most people either drive (like tricycle drivers) for work or have a tindahan. But not a lot of people work...Most of the schools right now are destroyed from the earthquake. But they were like the schools in Consolacion. Just cement buildings with "windows" which are just the hole and a grate to allow air in for the kids. </span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>WHAT WAS YOUR SERVICE PROJECT THIS WEEK?</u></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398282132136_8403" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No service project this week! The elders all went down to Loon to help dig trenches for the woman that Elder Teh talked about (who lost her grandson and daughter in the earthquake) but the sisters didn't get to go. Elders only! :( so I was sad! Especially since I was the first to volunteer!!!</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398282132136_8403" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Haha traveling is...well traveling isn't too bad. I hate losing work time though for travel. I hate waiting for the buses when we could be teaching and I hate having to come home early. But usually on the bus rides home, the conductors just stand or sit next to Sister Salima and I and hit on us the whole time. So I'm never tired. Just always trying my best to represent my Savior...like "What would Jesus do in this situation?" Although I don't think He had to worry about the bus conductors hitting on Him...still, He gets it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396762334542_4748">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's "hello" in Samoan, in case you don't speak Samoan :D Where am I learning Samoan? Yes! From my awesome new companion!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396762334542_4474">

<span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396762334542_4746" style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK:</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396762334542_4747" style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Tell us a little about your companion. We know she was Sister Lange's companion in the MTC, she is from Samoa and her name is Sister Salima. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She's from Western Samoa and she's still learning English. To make it even more impressive, she's learning Visaya IN ENGLISH! She's so awesome! She has the coolest hair ever. She puts it in lots of braids every day :D She's pretty tall - like 5 ft 6 in I think...but no, that's not normal for a Samoan. She's the tallest in her family :D She has THE COOLEST relationship with our Heavenly Father and our Savior that I've ever seen. She trusts them so much and she loves the work here. Honestly, she can be summed up into one word: Amazing!</span><span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Tell us about your new area. We googled it and it looks like there is a mangrove in your area! Too funny!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My new area...where do I start? IT'S SO BUKID! Everything here in Bohol is so green - radical change from Lacion. There's REAL GRASS here! And trees! So many trees! In my area there are tons of like...coconut farms. Just fields and fields of coconut trees. And rice. So many rice fields. All I can say is that it's beautiful. Even if we can't find any transportation and we have to walk 3 miles up a mountain, I love it. I love every step! Speaking of transportation...so we live in Calape (see last question) but we work in Clarin. So we take like a 30 min bus ride to Tubigon every day, then a 20 min tricycle ride to Bacani (the base of our area) and then either another bus or tricycle for 10-30 mins up the mountain to the rest of our area. That's one way. So. Much. Travel. But I love it. The buses here are wicked scary! You know that magic bus in Harry Potter? I forgot which book...but anyways, the buses here are like that. It's so crazy! Sometimes Sister Salima and I just laugh and laugh at how crazy it is. Also they kind of remind me of the Polar Express cuz there's a conductor dude who also gives you REAL tickets that he actually punches holes in with a little hole punch. So funny! And when he yells for the bus driver to pull over for passengers, instead of yelling: "Lugar lang!" like they do in Cebu, he yells: "OOOPS!" So funny. I love the transportation here. </span><span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Where do you go to church? Are you in a branch or a ward? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We go to church in Inabunga. We attend the Inabunga Branch. It's pretty small - there are 3 sets of missionaries assigned to Inabunga - Clarin A, Clarin B and Sagbayan. Sister Wolfe and Sister Reineiete(? I hope I spelled that right - she's from Kiribas) are in Clarin A, then Sister Salima and I in Clarin B and the District Leader, Elder Mataupu and his companion, Elder McQuiston are in Sagbayan. They have Sagbayan Peak, the mini Chocolate Hills and the Tarsiers in their area...Elder Mataupu is a Samoan (yes, he and Sister Salima usually talk in Samoan) from New Zealand. Coolest accent ever. And he actually looks like a combination of Harsh and Taylor lolz!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. How was church on Sunday? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Church on Sunday was so different than Consolacion. First, we meet in a meeting house, which is like this tiny aparment. Well, actually it's big by Philippines Standards. We are so crowded in there, though! All the chairs were filled and people were sitting on the staircase and stuff. It's so full - we definitely need more room! So we all crammed in there and it was great. The Sacrament Prayers were in Visayan! Which made me happy cuz I've never heard it sa Visaya :D then all three of the new missionaries (Sister Wolfe, me and Elder McQuiston) spoke followed by two awesome sisters. The Elders taught the investigators class and then the last class was combined...5th Sunday, I guess? Anyways. There are lots of similarities between my new branch and Consolacion 3rd ward. I love it!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. What do you have planned for P-day? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">P-day. Well, my awesome new house has a washing machine! (See last question). So I washed all my clothes already...so we're just gonna go shopping and then go home and clean and study. We won't go out to work tonight because P-day doesn't end until 6pm and 6pm is the time that we start traveling home everyday. So we'll just study and clean and relax and write letters and shop!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Tell us about your living conditions - are you with other sisters, in an apartment, etc.? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #5b8828; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Living conditions! So I love my new house. It's this tiny gated community and the Talbots (one of the Senior Couples in this mission) live in their house and then right behind their house, there is a little walk way and then three apartments side by side. There is a set of sisters in each of them. Sister Vui and Sister Clegg (The one who's still in training) on the far end, then...SURPRISE! My Nanay, si Sister Yap and her companion, Sister Alvaro in the middle - they are the Bohol North Sister Training Leaders - then Sister Salima and I on the end. There is a washing machine that all of us share behind the Talbot's house. Sister Salima and I have a toilet. No, it doesn't flush. We have a shower. No, it doesn't work. So we just use the bucket for everything! Our bathroom is a 4x4 tiled room with a lime green 5 gallon bucket and a nice big red scooper (about a liter) so we flush the toilet and shower with the bucket and scooper. The rest of our house is nice! Hard to describe...I'll try to take some more pictures. We have a couple of uninvited guests...several cockroaches and tiki's (the tiki's are always welcome) and A GIANT RAT! Haha it's been eating Sister Salima's bed - matress and sheets! Haha luckily I sleep on the floor, so I don't have any problems. Anyways, I went on a rat hunt and currently I've got it locked in the closet. We're still waiting for the guy to come take care of it...haha it's funny. I love living next to sisters and the Talbots. It's like this awesome little community :D</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*******************************************************</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Monday during District Meeting, Sister Salima asked me: "What happened to your eye?!" I was like: "Uh...what's wrong with it?" And she said: "It's so red! We call it 'too' [in Samoan]..." And she started talking in Samoan, but like, I don't speak Samoan. So I'm just like: "We call it 'allergies' and it's okay." Then she's like: "No! It will make you go blind!" So I started laughing cuz I have allergies all the time. But then EVERYONE kept asking me: "Oh, what happened to your eye?" So finally I dragged Sister Salima to the C.R. with me to take a look...SURPRISE! Not allergies! Guess I like burst a blood vessel or something in my eye somehow. No idea how cuz it doesn't hurt or itch or anything, it just feels normal. So we gave Sister Tanner a call to get some medical advice and turns out that there's nothing they can do about it! Just let it run it's course. So she told me to buy some eye drops, which I did. Elder Talbot's had this happen to him several times and he's even gone to an eye specialist about it, but there's nothing that can be done. It'll heal up in about a week. In the mean time, they check up on me twice a day - they're so sweet. So aside from the fact that I look like I belong on the set of a horror movie and people around here look at me like a leper, I'm totally fine! On the plus side, I don't have any problem getting people to look me in the eye any more ;)</span></div>

I'll be going to an area called Clarin B, which is, of course, on BOHOL!!!! Sister Lange came from the neighboring area, so she's been telling me a lot about my new area. And my new companion, Sister Salima because they were companions in the MTC. So funny. It's like Sister Lange and I are switching places! Haha. <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jayme's new companion is Sister Salima from Samoa. We asked Jayme to bring home a tarsier (they live in her new area). They are adorable!!!</span></i></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13690" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13689" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Even bigger news: SISTER LANGE WILL BE TRAINING! Yes. That's right. I'm handing over my amazing follow-up trainer to one very lucky missionary. Sister Lange has taught me so much in the time I've been with her. Her new anak will be very lucky to have her.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13688" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Yes. I'm super psyched. But yes. My heart is broken in two! I love Consolacion with my whole heart. The past couple of days have been like the hardest days of my mission. Saying goodbye hurts so much. I love these people here. I love our investigators and members so, SO much. And I'm going to miss them so much. And the missionaries here. I will miss the close relationship with the Zone Leaders that I have enjoyed since the beginning of my mission, I will miss seeing my zone every Monday, I will just miss everybody so much. </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13686" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

On top of that, I'm going to miss other things I've gotten accustomed to since coming on the mission. Like french fries from Jollibee or Macdo's, or Halo-Halo from Mang Inasal, not to mention easy access to anything every P-Day through our huge Consolacion Merkado and, of course, SM.<br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13685">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1396134140913_13677">
But I know that I must move on. I must try new things, like a new companion. And the bukid. Yeah, I've been a city sista my whole mission (haha as city as it gets here, at least) so I'm excited to try the bukid. I'm excited to learn and to grow and to love. Love more people, love the work, love a new companion, love God and my Savior!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off, congrats to Daniel Florez!!! What a boss mission call. I'm super jealous! Hey Daniel: you're gonna love it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I've been thinking a lot about love this week. And I realized that love is the glue that holds everything together. Like from the foundation of the world. It's kind of like this infinite concept that my mind doesn't really understand, but I can see glimpses of. Glimpses of our Heavenly Fathers love for us through His son. Glimpses of our Brother's love for us through His sacrifice. And glimpses of their love for all of us through blessings in our everyday lives. Anyways. Everything is based on love. "If ye love me, keep my commandments." Love God. Love His Son. And love our fellow brothers and sisters. Just love everyone. You will be so much happier and you will make others happier and they will love you in return because it's so much easier to love someone who already loves you. Anyways. Enough of that sentimental fluff. But hey, that's legit truth right there.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47;">My condolences to the Nielsen Family right now as they grieve over the loss of a loved one. Cory, I just want to remind you of our Savior's love for you. Right now, I wear His name on my chest and I'm striving to do and say what He would do and say. And I tell you I love you and I know He loves you. And He has wrapped His arms around you. And our Heavenly Father loves you. And they have created a wonderful plan for us to be happy - in this life and in eternity. We don't always know the reasoning behind the things that happen here - the trials we are given and the struggles we have to face. But I know it's divine. It comes from God. Just don't forget to include Them in your grieving process. I wish I could say more to help or comfort. Just know I love you and you're in my prayers. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a different note...So we have this investigator...actually we have this big family of investigators. Like the mom and dad, their four daughters, and the families of their daughters. Anyways, they all live pretty close so the other night when we were teaching the dad and mom (who we "tay" ug "nanay" which means mom and dad) we started hearing this religious music. Like hymns and stuff. And it was really cool. Anyways, so we didn't know where it was coming from, but then like we went to teach the daughter and her spouse and the music was coming from there! So we were enjoying the hymns and the daughter told us: "I always do this cuz papa likes it." It was so great! So that whole neighborhood gets to enjoy spiritually uplifting music every night :D</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1. What are your plans for P-day?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Answer: Party! Just kidding. Today we're gonna go shopping and then get take-out pizza from Pizza Hut in SM, then we're going to deep clean our apartment before transfers!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. How is your Ilonggo language coming along? </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Answer: Wala! I only know like 2 words. But my Tagalog is getting better. Once I'm fluent in Visaya, then I can try to learn a bit more Tagalog. Most people here also speak Tagalog. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Answer: They've been trying to do it once a month, but one of the members actually just told me that they might be stopping it. Which makes me sad because it's an awesome experience and it's effective. Especially for less-active youth. </i></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Answer: Usually I just eat the Yum! Which is basically a burger with mayonnaise and fake cheese. I eat enough rice and sudan elsewhere :D so I don't usually it when I go out to eat.</i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #274e13;">Well, it's March now...meaning it's officially <i>Tig-init</i> (summer). Boy, it's hot. Yeah. Like Hades, I swear! Every day I feel like I'm just being BAKED in an oven!!! It's so, SO hot!!! And here I am, thinking about all of you like freezing in the cold...and how opposite I'm feeling....yeah - sometimes I wish I could just stand in the freezer for like 10 mins, then go back to work!<br />Speaking of work, how is it going? </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />The work here is going great! Zone interviews just happened last week and I told President Tanner that <i>"the work here is a party with the Spirit</i>." He just started laughing and he told me he'd had a lot of people tell him that they were happy, but nobody'd said it was a party! For me, it's definitely a party. I seriously love it here :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: blue;"><u>What is one fun thing you did this week?</u><br /><br />One fun thing I did...hmmm...Zone Interviews were like <i>ang pinikanindot</i> :D It was great to learn from my leaders and to talk with President Tanner about the work...and, of course, to ENJOY the aircon :D no. Honestly I love working. And Sister Lange loves work, as well. So we've been doing TONS of it! And it's the best. Definitely the work is the funnest thing I did this week. </span><br /><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>What is one spiritual experience you had this week?</u></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><i>Usa ka spiritual nga kasinatian....daghan</i>. It's hard to pick just one! I guess...when we were tracting the other day and we were just wondering around trying to find anyone who wasn't a drunk old man and we walked down this little path through someones yard and I thought we'd get to the end and have to turn around...but we got to the end of the path and it turned into a road! So we followed it and ended up at this little house with a few women, who invited us in. So we're like talking with them and then the conversation took a spiritual route as we prepared to start the lesson when the women started asking if we were Mormons (this is uncommon here...most people don't associate the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with "Mormons") and we said yes...then she told the 16 year old girl to go get the Bibles. So I was like a little worried...then the girl came back with not Bibles, but two copies of the Book of Mormon, sa Visaya! They had to be like some of the first copies printed! I was like...whoa! Turns out they're former investigators who slipped through the cracks when they moved! The lesson was great and they asked us when we could come back. That has been one of the coolest things I've experienced so far... </span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>Tell us something about an investigator.</u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><br /></u></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">An investigator...well, we have a lot of cool investigators. Lately the Elders have been great about including our male investigators in their Wednesday morning basketball games, which has been awesome and had a really positive effect on them. Two in particular, and it's been great. They've been able to have fun experiences with the Church.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span><span style="color: #38761d;">Well....We're heading up to Discovery Hills again for a zone activity!!! YAY! Sister Lange's first time up there, so I'm excited :D We also invited a couple of investigators. We have a temple trip planned in a couple of weeks, specifically for investigators. We get to take them down and show them the temple and tell them a little about it. I'm super excited for that, as a couple of our investigators are pretty curious about the temple. Hopefully it will be a cool positive effect!</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1394115100141_14963">I'm loving all the mission calls that are coming in! Sister Lange and I are both freaking out about all the calls :D hey, to all of you awaiting the arrival of your calls: Where ever you are called is where you're meant to be. Don't you DARE be disappointed. That's pride - God knows you more than you know yourself. I testify of that. I know it. <b>I never expected to be called to the Philippines. I remember even laughing one time when my mom asked me what I would do if I had to live with all sorts of creepy crawlies, not use toilet paper and shower in cold water with a bucket and a ladle. No way would I ever...but you know what? God knows me better than I know me. And because of Him, here I am. Teaching the most loving people in the world.</b> <b>Watching them change their lives. Speaking an alien language and living like a camper. And I love every second of it. </b>So your call is for you. No matter what you feel, God knows you. Make it the best thing you can.</span><br /><span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1394115100141_14961"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry about the blurriness of the picture...it's from the Sister's Conference. It's all the Sisters on Cebu and Camotes :D Bohol had their own Sisters Conference.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1393213951839_3352" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First off, thank you to all of my wonderful, WONDERFUL friends who sent me messages about their lives and what they did on Valentines Day!!! That was a really nice surprise!!!!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1393213951839_3353" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first Valentines Day in the mission was quite the experience :D it was a Friday, so we had weekly planning and not as much proselyting time. Also, here in Lacion it's currently Sarok Festival! I think it's based off of this type of hat and it's not a religious celebration as far as I'm aware... Anyways, so Friday night in the plaza area (just a big field) tons of people gathered to celebrate Sarok. We were teaching a lesson right next to it and saw some of it happening. Then, just as we went to close our lesson - Fireworks! Yeah, a HUGE firework show! It was like the 4th of July in America! Tons of massive fireworks! So we had to yell to close the lesson because it was so loud... then there was so much traffic because people stopped driving where they were and just watched the fireworks. We watched while we were walking home :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then Saturday we went to Cebu for the Conference. WOW! That was absolutely amazing! First, I got to see Sister Palu and Elder Archibald and my brother from another mother - Elder Pole'o again, which was so great! I really miss all of my batch who are over in Cebu. Hope that where ever you're assigned right now, you're loving the mission and working hard and finding success! The speakers were amazing, too. First it was Sister McConkie - First Counselor in the YW General Presidency, then Sister Burton, the Relief Society General President. Both of them were so amazing. It was so great. Then, it was concluded by Elder Ardern - He's in the Philippines Area Presidency, I think. Anyways, he's this crazy awesome/hilarious guy from New Zealand and his talk was awesome! The whole thing was just super great :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it's been almost a week since transfers - my new companion is so awesome! She's actually from California...San Diego Area, but I forgot the name of the place specifically. When she told me that, I thought of my dear Sister Gamez over there! Shout out to you, Sister Gamez - I hope you're loving the mission!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So...some crazy stuff this week :D </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Weird Foods: This week I had the opportunity to eat shark, a chicken foot and a chicken head. Yeah, the picture attached is of my dinner from last night...so 3 Puso (the awesome rice thingys) a chicken wing, a chicken head and a chicken foot! It was...well, I'm glad it was breaded so that I didn't have to look at it too much. All I can say is that I know that chickens also have white brains...are all brains white? It was...definitely the most exotic thing I've eaten...</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Cool experience. So Sister Lange and I were out teaching and we were panted by two people. So we told the kids to tell their parents that we'd be coming back later and we went and taught others. So on our way back to them at 5, we were walking down this street and we hear a little kid crying. And we look over and we see a really, really nice house (big gate in the front, and it's like bigger than my house at home) and there's a couple standing in the driveway(which actually was a <i>driveway</i> with cars and everything) holding their little boy, who is crying. So we stop and we're talking to them through the fence to find out if he's okay and what happens? They invite us in. And we taught them. And it was amazing. When we went to share a scripture from the Book of Mormon, we asked the father to read it and after he read it, he started asking tons of questions about it. So we taught him about the Book of Mormon and gave them that copy. I don't know what will become of that family, but I see great things ahead for them. And I know that God prepares a way for us to find those who are ready.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1393213951839_3361" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways, it's been a great week. I've loved the work and I love Lacion. For about a week now I've been super worried about the work and the language and it was kind of stressful. But yesterday morning, I realized that God will help me. Even if sometimes my companion and I just sit in silence in lessons because none of us can communicate, God will help me. Eventually, I will be Bisdak! Just gotta keep working hard. He didn't call me here to not learn Visaya. And he'll provide a way for me to learn it. Just keep swimmin :D </span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1392334541826_6659" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="color: #351c75;">So this week is transfers and...*drumroll* I GET TO STAY IN LACION!!!! Sister Yap will be transferred back to Bohol where she will finish the training of Sister Lupisan. Sister Lange will be my new companion and I will be meeting her tomorrow. I'm excited to have a new companion, but she's my senior batch...and I'm not <b>Bisdak </b>yet...so I'm a little worried. But the Lord qualifies whom He calls, right??? I'm so happy I get to stay in Lacion. I seriously love it here. Siguro I'll just stay here the rest of my mission. There's so much work to be done and I love the area!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1392334541826_6663" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1392334541826_6665" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">This week has been one of the neatest weeks ever. Monday night at our dinner appointment, one of our investigators asked me when he could start working with us. Whaaat?! Yeah. He's super curious about missionary work!!!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Then yesterday (Tuesday) yeah....coolest thing. So Sister Yap and I attained permission from President Tanner to head to the Temple and be present for the Temple Sealing of one of Sister Yap's best friends. WOW! Let me tell ya. That's the first time I've witnessed a live sealing and wow. I'm speechless. I didn't know anyone there - all friends of Sister Yap - but there is NO replacement for a temple marriage. "As long as you both shall live" is the saddest phrase I've ever heard. Anyways, it was a beautiful experience that I will always treasure.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Then, on the way out, I ran into a couple people! The first was Elder Warner, from the Cebu Mission. Finally, we cleared it all up and we are like 95% sure we're not related. At least not closely. Probably distantly...Then the second was a nindot couple of Elders who just happened to be Sister Riimai's Zone Leaders! It was great to get the update on her, but sad to hear that she went home about two weeks ago... :'(</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">The last person I ran into on my way out of the temple gates...the one and only ELDER ARCHIBALD!!!! The temple is apparently his area!!! It was great to see him and catch up with him a bit. It really made me miss my MTC District, though :/ </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Then an awesome time at the Bishop's house! The picture attached is from the party-party that went on there :D It was so awesome and Sister Olayo made this delicious squash flan that tasted similar to pumpkin pie, but better :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">And today...TEMPLE DAY!!! Temple twice in a row! Yeah, buddy!!! Probably the coolest temple session I've ever been a part of. Yeah, if you've been lately, you probably know why ;) It's awesome.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span style="color: #351c75;">Later, we're going to print some pictures, go to an SA activity (farewell party to Sister Yap) and then a dinner appointment at our beloved President Asuncion's house. Oh, did I forget to mention that he met David Archuleta?! Yeah, that's right. I saw the pictures ;D</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1392334541826_6683" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week has been a blast and a half! Pastilan, I really love Lacion. Next week is transfers, and it's more than likely that I will stay here and Sister Yap will move on to her next adventure. And I really hope that's the case because I don't want to transfer! I've worked hard to memorize the area so that I can stay here! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alright. First the questions. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: blue;">1.What was a testimony building experience this week? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past week....my testimony has increased in so many ways. It does every day. But I guess my favorite was church on Sunday. When we had two investigators come! One of them, we've been waiting for for a long time. And they came! The whole family! And it was Fast and Testimony meeting - wow :D those are my favorite. Let me tell you, the Lacion 3rd Ward is amazing. Full of strong and amazing people. And as for our investigators, I hope it was exactly what they needed. I really hope. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">2. What was a favorite moment this week?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favorite moment...I got to play the violin! It's in the attached picture. That's me, with Sister A and her violin, and Brother G. One of our investigators. This kid is amazing, let me tell you. He got here just over a week ago from Ilo-Ilo and he only speaks Ilonggo! And some Tagalog, too. And he speaks less Cebuano than I do. Teaching him is quite interesting - Sister Yap teaches in Tagalog and I teach in English...and we just pray that he understand. Most of the time he does :D He's very receptive! And he's living with his cousins now, who are very active in the church and RM's. I guess this also sort of answers question 3.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;">3. What was a trial this week and how did you overcome it?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our first lesson with Brother G. The trial was not him, because he's amazing. The trial was the language barrier! How did we overcome it?! Pen, paper and LOTS of pictures. <b>Yeah :D put my second-grade art skills to the test! </b>And I think it passed :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So we got a couple of new investigators...two of them were stolen from the Lacion 2 Sisters. It's a couple that moved over to our area from their area. Anyways, the guy is Dutch. Yeah, he's from Holland. And his primary language is Dutch! Followed closely by German (Where is Sister Hamson when you need her?!?! Oh yeah, she's in the Cebu Mission! Pastilan!) And then English. No Visaya. It's good, though, because when we teach in English, I can help a lot more. His partner is a Pinay, so we teach her sa Visaya. And then Gerald. But we were able to track down some ward members who speak Ilonggo, so hopefully language won't be a barrier there any more. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than that, the work just continues to progress! But man it goes by so fast. The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days. It's very true. The harder you work, the faster you go. And the transfer call comes in just a few days! NOOO! I'm really going to miss Sister Yap. She is so amazing. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyways...I guess my interesting food of the week is Keso flavored Ice Cream. Yeah it was interesting. Actually it was pretty good! Especially when it's mixed with Ube or Strawberry. How do I know this? Because we were invited to a party-party this past Sunday at one of the members houses! A birthday party! Complete with cake and ice cream!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After eating tons there, we went to the Mondarte's for dinner! Yeah - lami kaayo siya! There was...eggplant? Yeah, I think it was eggplant, and it was sliced up just right that it looked like a bird - the stem looked just like a beak. So I asked what kind of bird it was and everyone was laughing - lol! Even me, especially once I found out that it wasn't actually a bird. After dinner, Sister M asked me: "Lami ang bird?" Haha they're so funny. I love them so much! Love the members here :D</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry about all the weird formatting that's going one. I don't remember how to work computers very well, so I can't fix it :/</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alright. Best wishes to everyone! Love you all :D</span></div>

We got quick emails from Sister Warner this week; she didn't have much time!

We put our trash outside so that we could remember to throw it away (we have to throw it in the big bins down the street) and the neighborhood strays ate it for us! Trash all over the front part of our house. It took us like 30 mins to clean it up! And so many bugs...ugh that was the worst. Lots of fruit flies and ants! The ants here are small but they are MANY!</span></span></div>

So I shared the Spiritual thought in Relief Society - I was talking about how we are all Fishers of Men and I was tying it in with the new 2014 Philippines Area Goals, specifically the "Rescue the One" and every member being a missionary. Without the members, missionaries can't do their job. So I was just talking about all of that.</div>

Tender mercies of the Lord...so I've had to look a lot harder this week because they haven't been super obvious, but I've loved it. The work here has been lacking. Like REALLY lacking. And it's hard not to be frustrated sometimes. But I've come to see that God is very aware of us. Between the last two and a half weeks, we've gotten 21 new investigators. Not all of them are progressing, but every day the Lord helps us find and find and find. And that is amazing. As missionaries, we come out here to help Him, only to find that actually, He's just helping us. Whoa. I can't even wrap my mind around that. </div>

Haha so Saturday, all of the areas surrounding Lilo-an went to the Lilo-an church for the 2014 Philippines Area Goals. While I was there, I got to see some of my batch (actually just Elder Larson - who I see all the time - and Elder Johnson) and we were talking about language mistakes. Haha. Yeah, Elder Johnson told us of his most recent - one of his investigators asked him if he feeds his cats at his home...but Elder Johnson mixed up "feed" and "eat" ("kan-on" and "ka-on) and so he thought the investigator asked if he eats his cats at home...so he responded by asking if they were delicious. LOLZ! And luckily most of the mistakes I've made have been with Sister Yap during practice teaching at our apartment...but there was that one time I accidentally testified of soy sauce...And I was taken back to the Christmas Party where I got to talk with my WHOLE batch...yeah. Mistakes are bittersweet. Sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing, sometimes bad. Most of us are singing that song: "Will I Ever Learn this Language?" haha.</div>

My favorite thing...ambot. Everything is my favorite thing! I guess I'll share my most spiritual experience of the week. So Sister Yap and I had just finished teaching one of our new investigators, and we were taking a back road (short cut) to the main road to go to a different area. And both of us got the impression to stop by and visit one of our investigators. We normally only teach her once a week with the rest of her family, but we had scheduled her as the backup of our backup plan. And as we were walking by, we both just kind of stopped and turned and headed up to her house. It was definitely the Spirit. Anyways, we got up to her house and we just planned to visit a bit because we didn't have a plan really - we didn't intend to teach her, and so we were knocking and yelling "ayo!" over and over...and nobody came to the door. So we turned to leave and started to walk away, when we hear a "kamusta!" and we turn and see her opening the door. Basta, our intended 10 min check up turned into an hour of teaching and really getting to know her. She told us so much that before she had kept so private. And we finally understood her concerns. It was suck a spiritual experience. Words can't really describe it...but I was very aware of the Lord's love not only for her, but also for me and Sister Yap throughout that lesson. Also, she's been reading the Book of Mormon. On her own. Yeah. We didn't even ask her to, she's just been doing it. Whoa. Yeah, that story doesn't sound nearly as good in words as it feels. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
Alright. So. This weeks been great! Last week...or two weeks ago, actually, I bought a new bag cuz the zipper broke out of mine. So Lunes when we were walking to our zone lunch, the strap breaks off my new bag! Whaaa? So I told Sister Yap that I would take it back and have it replaced...but guess what? They don't do that here. :/ not amused. So I decided to hand sew the strap back on. So I finish, and I check to make sure it's holding tight, and it's strong - and it is. Yay! So I go to put it on annnnnnd...PASTILAN! I sewed it on backwards! Now there's a twist in the strap permanently! -__- <i>really </i>not amused. Maybe it will break again and I'll resew it on correctly. Pastilan!</div>

Also, last Thrusday, I had splits with the STL's! While they didn't admit it, I know it was a test to see how I'm doing and how awesome Sister Yap is at training. I hope I passed! But I learned so much. We split with Sister Lindsay (from Tacloban) and Sister Villamartin. Sister Villamartin and I taught this lady...she's really old and kind of...desperate for attention. It was an interesting lesson. She also taught me how to tract! Before the mission, my worst nightmare was that I would tract a whole street and someone at the end of the street would watch me go door to door, just knowing I was coming for them. And then it would be awkward. And guess what. That happened! Well, sort of. We were tracting down this area and this woman at the end of the "street" stood in her doorway eating lunch and watched us go from door to door, person to person...she just watched the whole time. And then we got to her. And she ended up being the only person who was interested in talking to us! The first thing she said was: "Sulod" or "come in". It was so nindot. I learned so much from Sister Villamartin. She goes home in March, so she's very experienced and knows so much. </div>

Yesterday Sister Yap and I were teaching one of our investigators, and the investigator started talking about her amazing singing voice. Then she started singing for us...for like 10 mins. A very Catholic choir song....On the inside, I was laughing so hard! Her voice was so sweet, but the whole situation was just....I think she was a bit drunk to be honest.</div>

of tree (I think it's maybe horseradish?) And I'm not really sure what all is
in it, but it's very good. Also dried fish. It's SO lami! And puto...which is
like some sort of rice cake, but it tastes like pancakes. And halo-halo,
syempre. And....Pretty much it's all good. But did I ever mention the salty
egg? Haha. They have these eggs - they're dyed bayolet color and the inside is
like cured with salt or something? Anyways, apparently you're supposed to eat
it with rice, tomatoes and vinegar, but Sister Yap didn't tell me that, so I
just took a bite. Oh. My. Gosh. I thought I was gonna die. It was like eating a
chuck of pure salt. Wow. So that's been the only thing that I haven't liked so
far! But maybe if I ate it correctly...I'm scared to try it again, though...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

finally felt like I had a bit of a grip on the language! And our investigators
weren't like "nosebleed" when I was talking and afterwards, Sister
Yap told me she was proud of me! Usually she tells me that my Visaya is
"kulang" or lacking, but we actually puli-puli (team taught) the
whole time instead of her teaching and then translating or re-translating
everything I say. It was a very, very good day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Kaaaaamusta Kamo?!?</span></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2639" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">So this week we had another baptism! This adorable 9 year old girl; her family was less-active for 3 years after moving to Lacion, but they started coming back to church in October after a visit from Sister Yap and Sister Lolesi. Her family is amazing.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Anyways, the baptism was supposed to start at 11:00 a.m. so we got there at 10:30 with her family... and we had no key to get into the church. Finally one of the landscaping crew let us in the gate and the member with the key showed up at about 10:45. - We still had to fill the font! So we went up to the second floor and started to fill the font and... blech! The water was pouring out bright red like blood (probably from the pipes...) so we turned it off and spent about 30 minutes cleaning out the baptismal font. In the meantime, all the other missionaries in my district showed up with investigators to observe the baptism! </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2638" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2637" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;">So here we are trying to clean out the font and we're all so late getting started... crazy! And there's like a lot of people! So we get the font cleaned out and start to refill it and the water is now coming out a nice yellow/green... which was better than bright red. So it filled up with about a foot and a half of nice yellow/green water and then... poof. Wala'y hagas. </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"> </span><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(We don't know what this phrase means, sorry!)</span></i></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2636" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2631" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">So then all the missionaries and the Bishopric members were going over options: Try to transport everyone to the dagat (ocean) and baptize there, but the closest ocean is Lilo-an or Baha-Baha....s o there went that idea... or try to transport everyone to the house of a member with a pool - we were joking about President Tanner's house... but really only half joking... so there went that idea cuz, again, transportation. So then we were thinking about the river out back with has about 3 feet of black and probably toxic water... yuck!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">In the end, at about 12:30, she was baptized by Brother J. (he's heading to a mission in Brisbon, Australia at the end of this month) in a foot and a half of yellow/green water. He had to redo it once because her leg didn't go all the way under. The second time, he had to stand on her feet and carefully dunk her all the way to the tile floor of the font. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">It was crazy to say the least. But it was amazing. A baptism is a baptism, no matter where you do it or what the water looks like - as long as it's performed by someone with the proper authority. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2645" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">That was definitely the highlight of my week. It reminds me of the line from that song called: "What Heaven Sees in You," and the line is: <i>"Dressed in white once more, making promises to follow in God's way. So much lies in store for the little girl who enters at the gate.. and the Father looks down and the angels surround that place." </i>This little girl, just like a few others I have gotten to know, wants to be a missionary! SO much lies in store for her. She's amazing!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Speaking of missionaries... at our District Meeting on Monday, Elder Ewell taught an amazing lesson on foreordination. He shared two stories that I had never heard before, but that were super inspiring. Look them up if you have a chance. The first was the story of a missionary named Bill Carpenter and a convert of his - Louetta Frye. The second was the story of a Japanese missionary who got called to a Spanish Speaking mission in South America... Colombia, maybe? And he was like upset his whole mission, but the Lord had miracles waiting for him in his last transfer...B oth were so inspiring. Find them and read them if you have a chance. They're amazing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2652">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Monday was Sister Yap's birthday and we have a part member family - the dad has been less-active since he joined the church in 2007 and the kids are not members, but they're very progressing. Actually, they're our only progressing investigators right now, but they're very progressing. And I seriously love that family. In terms of foreordination, this family is some of the proof that this is where I'm supposed to be. We literally just clicked on day one. And one of the sisters is marrying an American and moving to California next month! So I'll definitely see her after my mission. Anyways, Monday was also the father's birthday! So they invited us over for a double birthday celebration. We had a lot of traditional food - lots of sea food -including fresh crab! That was my first time eating fresh crab and let me tell you, it's amazing. And I learned how to eat them like a pinoy!</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2651">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1389239486822_2650">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Oh speaking of foods... weird food of the week! So last night Sister Yap and I went to eat at Mang Inasal because Sister Yap was stressed about being panted a ton and she wanted to eat halo-halo.</span> <span style="color: red;"><i>(we aren't sure what this phrase means - sorry!)</i></span> <span style="color: #274e13;">So we ended up just deciding to stay for dinner. We both ordered this stuff called Dinuguan because options were limited... and... I didn't know what it was but it tasted like black beans with chicken in it... Anyways I got about 3/4 of the way through it when Sister Yap said: "Yeah we can eat this." I was like... "eaaaah?" She went on to say that because we are allowed to eat the blood jello, we're allowed to eat that stuff. Then she told me what it is... cooked chicken blood! Luckily she told me that after I had eaten it. So the last quarter of it was a little harder to stomach than the first part... but it didn't taste bad. I just didn't think about it. It was...interesting. I still have yet to try the blood jello and the chicken feet. Eventually. Sister Yap wants me to be like a native. She's great.</span></div>

In every picture we see, she looks so happy! Also, a wonderful young lady in her area took a bunch of pictures and sent them to us via Facebook - if you have a Facebook account, check out the pictures - they are beautiful! We are so grateful to this young girl for sending us so many pictures. <u>Jayme always looks so very happy</u>!</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Dear Family and Friends,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Well...let's start in the very beginning... it's a very good place to start! I'm sitting in the internet cafe listening to Bob Marley right now... enjoying this New Year's Day :D </span><br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1388542510515_64553" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1388542510515_64475" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
Alright...Discovery Hills was awesome! It's like this "super sketchy Catholic playground." It felt like being in Jurassic Park or some zombie movie. Like all vacant and really old...and gorgeous in every way. It was seriously a blast! It was one of the last times my whole zone would be together.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1388542510515_64549" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1388542510515_64551" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">
I seriously have the <u>BEST</u> zone and Zone Leaders in the world. Last week we ran out of load (like minutes/texts for the phone) so we can't call or text anyone. A couple of times we've hiked down the hill behind our house to borrow the cell phone of our landlady's husband. But EVERY night, our ZL's have called us to make sure we got home okay. <u>They are the best!</u> My whole zone is just the best!<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1388542510515_64565">
<br /><div>
Which is why my heart is broken! Transfer calls came Monday... Luckily Sister Yap and I are still together and in Lacion! There was a possibility that she would leave because she's been here for 4 months now and I memorized the area already. Luckily we'll be together at least one more transfer. For sure she'll be leaving in February (Sad face). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week, we had a lot of changes. About half the zone is leaving; including one of our ZL's - Elder Rayos. He's going up to be a ZL in Bogo. Sister Duke is going to Lilo-an, Sister Crowley is going to Bohol to open an area and be a Sister Training Leader! Elder Estrada is going to be a District Leader up in Catmon... and a whole bunch of other elders are all going to Bohol. It will be so different. Back to just four sisters...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But the saddest part was Elder Verano, who received his final transfer call to head home today. In his BR page, I compared him to Nephi. And he still is a TON like Nephi, but I think now, after Monday, he's more like Moroni. Lemme tell ya a bit about this kid. So first we watched a video that his ward gave him as a farewell gift - it was like a slideshow. Then he sat in the front of the room and everyone left a message with him. To All my friends in the Cebu Mission, if you ever end up on Negros, chances are that you'll hear of his legacy. He's like the stuff of legend. Then he bore his testimony. It was so sad. One thing he said really hit me. He said to have held the keys to gather Israel for the past two years and to realize that in just two days, he would have them taken from him was so, so sad. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elder Verano went on to talk about his conversion story. He said he saw the missionaries for a year before being baptized. He said the first time they came over, he was sitting there wearing only shorts and he had a nose ring and after that, when he would see the missionaries, he resorted to such desperate measures as jumping out windows to get away. But after a year, he converted and he's become one of the most successful missionaries in the Cebu/Cebu East missions. It made me wonder...how many of those missionaries thought that they had failed with him? He's living proof of the ripple effect. Like walking hope. I hope that maybe someday, all the investigators that we've had to drop will enter the waters of baptism and be saved. And I see that hope in people like Elder Verano. Anyways, he's taught me so much. All of my zone has, and I'm gonna miss all of those who are leaving. Like a lot. Chances are I will be in Lacion for at least two more transfers because Sister Yap will probably leave in February and I'm the one who will stay and teach someone else the area.</div>

Yesterday, New Year's Eve, we had our last zone activity. We met up at the church at 5pm, piled all the couches we could find into the relief society room, ate Pizza Hut Pizza and watched Monsters University and part of some movie called like The Most Epic Turkey Movie Ever or something like that. Yeah it was weird to be watching movies while on the mission... but I definitely felt at home with my family. <u>They are so great</u>. Then all the Elders went to Elder Estrada's apartment and Sister Yap and I went to Sister Crowley's apartment where we watched Turbo and waited until the fireworks at midnight. The elders did the same. It was so cool. People go all out here. The whole sky was filled with fireworks. So cool. New Year's here is a HUGE deal. Bigger than Christmas. Many people don't celebrate Christmas, but everyone celebrates New Year's! I'm lucky I get to spend two Christmas's and New Year's in the mission as a sister. Very lucky.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Here is what Sister Warner said today:</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maayong Pasko, everyone!!!</span></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_7005" style="background-color: white;">

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5729" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday we got the Tacloban rundown from our Stake President. 48 ( I think that's what he said) members of the Church died. All the people in the church survived by hanging onto the rafters in the ceiling after the water came through. There was a family of 5 and a family of 7 that all passed away. Also all 12 members of the family of a missionary serving in...I don't remember what mission. So when he goes home, he will go home to no family. The Stake President couldn't even express the pain...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allright. Can't dwell on the sad or else I'll cry.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5734" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this week has been great. This is gonna be a little scattered cuz I'm SO tired! Pinoy's celebrate Christmas a little differently...they actually celebrate on Christmas Eve...by getting really drunk, singing karaoke at the top of their lungs, eating tons of food and launching fireworks all night! </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5732" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5733" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So thanks to our very drunk neighbors who were having a great time with the karaoke machine and fireworks, at about midnight Sister Yap and I gave up on trying to sleep and went ahead and opened the Christmas present you guys sent me with. Wow. I seriously have the best family in the world! Sister Yap loves you so much, too! She was shocked to get presents from you! But we celebrated until about 1am...then most of the fireworks were finished so we tried to sleep...but it was hard. It will be the same tonight and WORSE on New Year's apparently! PASTILAN! I'm gonna die!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_6989" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday, all we did was teach and eat. ALL DAY. Pastilan, I've never been so full in my life! It started in the morning when our Landlord delivered a basket of delicious, fresh mangoes. Yeah....lami kaayo 'la. Then Sister Ara passed her baptismal interview, and after that, the Sabatins (who have a microwave - yes, a MICROWAVE) popped like 3 bags of ACT II popcorn for us and gave us American candy and California grapes! Oh, it was amazing. Then we had like 3 dinner appointments - two shared with the Zone Leaders, Elder Rayos and Elder Fabiano. We're both Lacion 3 - they're Lacion 3A and we're 3B. So we share our members. We had lots of Lechon Manok (BBQ Chicken) and Pinoy style speghetti. Lami. And "fruit" salad. It doesn't actually have any fruit - just jello stuff. By the last appointment, poor Elder Fabiano looked like he was gonna puke trying to finish his fruit salad! His eyes were watering and everything! We ate SO much. Our members take such good care of us. Even if they don't have a lot, they're always willing to give. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_6988" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking of food, the blood jello isn't actually against mission rules! So now I have to try it. Elder Fabiano said it's good...just don't think about what you're eating! So I'll be trying that eventually...</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_6987" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_6986" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And ice here. Yeah...What's that chemistry term? It's been awhile...but I think it's sublimation. Where ice evaporates...yeah that happens here all the time! If you put an ice cube outside, or even just on our table, half of it will melt and half of it will evaporate! What?</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_6985" style="background-color: white;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas Caroling...people go all out here. They bring around full bands and lots of people...and they do it for money! What? Yeah! Too fun! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh my gosh. It's raining outside so the owner of this internet cafe felt the need to turn on the heater. I feel like I'm sitting in Hades! Gonna die.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5743" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday was great, too. First I had my first horrible gross experience of my mission! Ready? Okay. So we were teaching Sister Ara and getting her ready for her interview yesterday, and her little brother was sleeping in his sheet hammock thingy...and his parent's didn't realize that he needed to go to the bathroom. First, you need to know that they were out of wash water. They only had mineral water for drinking. Second, they have to get their wash water from a pump that's about a 3 minute walk away. Getting a bucket of wash water takes about 10 minutes. Third, we were past curfew. Our lesson took FOREVER. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5743" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5743" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the story. We were teaching Sister Ara and her brother, who was sleeping, had to go to the bathroom. But his parent's didn't realize until it was too late. So his dad was running him out of the house, but he didn't quite make it...and he peed all over my shoes. And there was no wash water. And we were past curfew... luckily my shoes are waterproof... so I just dumped them out as best as I could and then put them on - gross! Luckily my socks soaked up the worst of it. I had a 10 minute tricycle ride and a mile long walk home in pee. Yeah. It was...great!. LOL! Then I spent about 30 mins washing my feet, shoes and socks. Pastilan! I guess it could have been worse, though...</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5742" style="background-color: white;">

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5735" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday during our district meeting, Elder Ewell (District Leader) gave the time over to Elder Fabiano (Zone Leader) for annoucements. Elder Fabiano started by saying: "Wednesday for our Zone Activity, we're gonna go down to the Waterfront Hotel and do some swimming!!!" Everyone's mouths dropped. Then he announced it was a joke and we were all laughing so hard. No. For real. Today for our zone activity, we're heading up to Discovery Hills. I hear it's super bukid and awesome. I'm very, very excited! Everyone but Elder Larson and I know what it's like cuz they went there two transfers ago and everyone loved it. </span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387948421159_5738" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking of Elder Larson...Pastilan, he and Elder Ewell live with the only two Pinoy's in our District and they taught him how to cook Pinoy food! Like Adobo Chicken! I still haven't learned...Sister Yap likes cooking and I like doing the dishes...so we kind of have this system. I DON'T like cooking or washing floors, but those are the two things she LIKES doing. So it works out perfectly. </span></div>

Saturday we had a "decompress" day at the Mission Home and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">we met Sister Tanner's sister who is on her way home from China where she and her husband have been teaching for the past few years.

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday's Relief Society Lesson was on "Your Wonderful Journey" by Pres. Uchtdorf(I think). I've been thinking a lot about my wonderful journey. Since coming on my mission, I've seen countless miracles. Better yet, I've been recognizing more of the countless miracles I've seen in my life before my mission. Countless, countless, countless. This truly is a wonderful journey.</span></div>

Well, I'm currently in the Mission Office in Lilo-an. Sister Tanner and the Robertson's, the office couple, are currently in Camotes scoping out the area for a new apartment. Pastilan I hope they put sisters in Camotes! I would love to go there! President Tanner is driving missionaries to the Airport to go home now! We have two leaving today and like pretty much my whole zone is leaving in January :'( very sad! I'm going to miss them a LOT. And it's Lilo-an's temple day, so Sister Crowley, Sister Duke and Sister Stoddard ran the office this morning and Sister Yap and I are running it now. It's pretty fun! AIRCON!</div>

3. <b>WHAT IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK</b>: This week...how about happy/wonderful? On Sunday I was waiting for ward council, and Sister Yap was talking about stuff with a whole bunch of Returned Sister Missionaries in Visaya and they were talking so fast...so I was playing the piano and singing with Elder Fabiano and Elder Rayos and two Returned Missionaries - one from our ward and one from the 1st ward. And it was just so nindot. Brother Lukas from the First Ward is an excellent pianist and was playing EFY songs and we were all singing. It was very fun. </div>

4. <b>TELL US ONE THING THAT MAKES YOUR COMPANION SPECIAL</b>: Sister Yap...where to start...So many things make her special. I guess I'd say the power of prayer. So far, everything she's told me she's praying for she's gotten in one form or another. She is very faithful and she is always praying.</div>

5. <b>TELL US ABOUT ONE INVESTIGATOR</b>: How about Sister R? So Sister Yap and I were panted a TON one day like a week an a half ago and we couldn't get a tricycle so we were walking back to our area really downhearted and we passed by this woman brushing her daughters hair out on this bamboo bench. So we stopped and talked. BOY was she prepared. We're just waiting until we can teach her whole family together, but she is so ready and receiving the message. She's amazing.</div>

That was SO much fun! Pastilan, ...and because of that, Tuesday night the Bogo Sisters stayed over at our house and Wednesday SLEEP OVER WITH SISTER GRIGG! Sister Grigg and Sister Cuerquis and their trainers stayed at our house! It was so good to spend time with her again. And she got to meet Sister lil C, the girl who was baptized my second week here.</div>

Speaking of Sister lil C...so we went to teach her last night, and as always, she was so excited and came running out of the house to say hello. Keep in mind that she's only 9 years old through the rest of this. First, about a week ago, she came running out with this box full of broken computer parts. From which, she showed me how many things she can do with them, like light a tiny light bulb and make this little motorized car run. Then Monday, when we were waiting for her parents, I was asking her about school and what she liked to do, and she told me that she likes to work. She said she doesn't like to go waste her time playing because she needs to work hard for her life. I was like "WHAAAAAT?" She's 9! She's so smart.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Anways, just a bit after that, she ran back into the house and came out with...you'll never guess so I'll just tell you. A Preach My Gospel. Whoa. Floored me. Then she proceeded to tell me about how badly she wants to be a missionary, so she's starting to study now. And she's got a count down until when she can leave! Wow. She's so smart and she's gonna be a great missionary.</div>

The elders in my district went up to Bogo last week for two days to build houses. An "elders only" project...but Sister Yap doesn't like to do "man's work" anyways, so even if we'd been given the opportunity, I don't think we could do it. We'd have to go on splits. I want to help, though. So next time, I'm going! I'm so jealous of them! </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is at the Escorial's house. Half of their house is where they live and the other half is a store. It looks more spacious in the picture...it's not actually very big. They're a very active member family. They're awesome! This is where I tried Balut, this is where I practice my Visaya, etc. They're so cool :D</span></div>

Pastilan, I forgot my notebook that had all the important things I needed to tell you written in it. I'll just try to do my best by my recollection! So first I have to go backwards in time a bit - clear back to my first week here!</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So, without fail, from day one, I constantly get asked 3 questions. First, when they see my name, they ask me if I'm the Warner Brothers. SO funny. They all know the Warner Brothers and my last name is Warner and I'm from America...busa, I must be one of them. They also ask me why I'm white...aka - where am I from. Sister Yap said it's kind of rude, but honestly I just think it's funny. When I tell them I'm from Utah, they ask me about David Archuleta. Like he is SO famous and popular here. His music plays like...everywhere. And so because I'm from Utah, I must know him, right?! Gosh I love the people here. If anyone reading this knows David Archuleta, please tell him to come do a free concert in Lacion. People can't afford to go to a concert - sometimes they can't even afford food or anything - but it would totally like make their day...week...month...year...whatever!</div>

Also, when I was in the MTC, on one of the last days, Brother Wilkes was talking about his mission and he described this pig...and the dimensions he gave were like TOTALLY outrageous! Still, he's a teacher at the MTC, so I didn't <i>disbelieve</i> (is that a word?) him, but I figured that maybe somewhere along the way, his mind had exaggerated things a bit - sorry Brother Wilkes! Then, I was heading up to teach this family like my 3 day in the field...and I saw the biggest pig ever. Like the same dimensions Brother Wilkes gave. And it tried to eat my skirt. Yes, I attached a picture...but I don't think it really does the pig justice....anyways. It's massive. And now we have many investigators in that area, so I see it every couple of days! </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Also during my first week...so I met Sister Yap and then we went back to our apartment ... they had run out of dish soap and laundry soap...so we used this bar of Dial soap to wash all of our clothes and dishes for the first week. I will forever enjoy the refreshing taste of Dial :D</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Then, on my second week, Sister Yap and I walk into our district meeting, and all the elders start calling me: "Ensign girl!" and singing happy birthday (with the clapping - Pinoy style :D haha) and I was all like "Whaaaaaat?" Turns out that Elder Raymundo and his companion, Elder Macabbad found the New Era Article and recognized me! Holy crap! Now they think I'm like really famous or something...so now I am officially Ensign Girl (cuz they don't really know what the New Era is...) So funny. But my district and zone are so awesome. We have 5 sisters - all from Utah but Sister Yap, and like...12 elders if I just counted right. Maybe more. Probably more. They're so great.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32171" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Speaking of my zone...so like my first zone meeting, we were halfway through the meeting when one of the Elders got a text from a member in the ward he's in saying they needed help with relief efforts for Typhoon Yolanda victims. So we took off right after the zone meeting and spent the rest of the day (8 hours) helping this company with relief efforts. It was awesome and I wish I had pictures, but we weren't allowed to take any :'( Basically, we took 50kg bags of rice, then divided those into 4.5kg bags of rice, then rebagged them. It was so awesome. We definitely grew as a zone and it was so great to help with relief efforts.</div>

Just this past week, we did another Community Service Project up in the elders area - very bukid. Up on top of the mountain in Cebu. It was a gorgeous view of Cebu Island and we were outside the whole time helping with a landscaping project! Elder Larson went all Rambo on these bushes and completely hacked them out (just as requested) but there was some sort of weird thing in the bush and he has like this chemical burn on his had now. The blisters are seriously the biggest blisters I've ever seen and he drains them like 5 times a day. Poor kid. But he doesn't regret it! Afterwards they gave us coke and that delicious sticky rice...that I can't remember the name of. But it's sweet and amazing.</div>

Thanksgiving. Yeah. THANKSGIVING! Sister Tanner, Sister Robertson (the Robertsons are from Hyde Park and they're our office couple!) and the Lilo-an sisters slaved away for a day and a half and prepared a legit Thanksgiving dinner! All of the mission came except the Bohol missionaries. Even Camotes came! It was lami kaayo. Like American Thanksgiving plus heaps of rice. And they made like TONS of Apple-crisp and they bought ice cream and we all sat around eating food and saying what we were thankful for. It was so great. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We've had a few really cool speakers lately. First was Sister French - she was like a counselor here for the Missionaries in the Philippines and she is amazing! Here's a quote from my letter to my batch from last week: </div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32177" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
"<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Quick uplifting thought: I hope you all got to hear Sister French speak. If not, I'm sorry. But my favorite quote from her was were she was talking about how she asked her son to calculate the probability of her being a full-time missionary. And he did. Excluding the third of the hosts of heaven that left with Satan, each of us was hand-selected by God to serve him out of 93,000!!! How great is our calling?!?!"</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">She's finishing up her mission and will be going home soon :( sad, cuz she's awesome!!!!)</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32179" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32183" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Also Elder Echo Hawk of the Seventy...man that was awesome. He spoke to us this past Wednesday...all day. One of my favorite parts of his talk: He was talking about his training when he was first called and was first in Salt Lake. Specifically the day he got to observe mission calls. He was saying that we should NEVER be disappointed in where we were called. He shared a very, very cool experience. I can testify that where ever you are called to serve, that's where you are SUPPOSED to be. The Lord has a great work for YOU there. So no matter where you go, never be disappointed!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Alright. Now to some more recent stuff! Sister Elsie, one of the ward missionaries, has "Just Give Me a Reason" in VISAYAN as her ringtone! Go look it up on youtube :D it's got a lot of autotune from what I could here, but I asked her if the Visaya was correct and she said it was! So if you want to hear some Visaya....look it up :D <i>[IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: </i></span><i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3WRy3ZTOWY" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3WRy3ZTOWY</a>]</i></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Also TAYLOR! My gosh dude, you'd love it here. I have discovered the pinapple! Holy lami kaayo. The B2 is my favorite. It's like the sweetest pinapple I've ever tasted! I wish I could send you some :( perhaps you'll serve your mission over here? You won't get to use your beastly Mandarins, but you'll enjoy the best pinapple and mangoes on the planet earth. I'm pretty sure that Cebu is the Garden of Eden. Or at least as close as it gets, ya know?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">TODAY...today...yeah WE JUST GOT BACK FROM THE TEMPLE!!!! Oh my gosh, I can't even begin to describe it. It's very different from the temples in Utah. Such a beautiful experience! Even though 1/4 of the way through we had a brown out, so no lights, then 1/2 way through, the generator had a gas leak, so we had absolutely NO POWER at all! So I only did half a session. :'( SO SAD! We just turned in our names and filed out the door :( next month, maybe. Or maybe in two months if I'm still on Cebu Island. It was very different, very awesome, and it definitely proves that the Lord has an excellent sense of humor. Also apparently the Angel Moroni keeps twisting cuz of aftershocks...so I'll keep my eye out for that next time I go back. But it was amazing! So beautiful. And one I met an older couple from Logan!!!! Just about died :D they're going home in June and they've been out for a year and a half now! They asked me if it was still standing :D haha </span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">So the dearelders are great :D but it takes so long for them to get here! I'm just now getting ones from like the end of November. But it's funny cuz all the poems you're sending are ones I printed out and taped in my journal before I left! So great :D oh and Elder Pole'o seriously talks about you all the time. He loves hearing from you. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32185" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">So Sunday...on Sunday I experienced my first hardcore rainstorm! Sister Yap and I were teaching a lesson when it started, and we borrowed an umbrella from the family we taught cuz we had a 10 min walk home...yeah that was fun. We used the umbrella to keep our stuff as dry as possible, but both of us looked like we'd jumped in a pool! SO wet! The streets turned to rivers - we were walking in like 5 inches of fast flowing water, just from the rain. So crazy! We live on the top of this hill next to all these rich people, so the water was flowing so fast and walking up that hill was harder than usual. Luckily, we survived :D</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32192" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Tomorrow (Wednesday December 11th) we have our MISSION-WIDE CHIRSTMAS PARTY!

<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386654266545_32196" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Also, we have two baptisms scheduled for January 4th! These will be my first "legit" baptisms because I've been teaching them from the start. One little girl from a less-active family (who has since become active again - we'll be talking with them about temples soon :D so exciting!!!) and the other is this beautiful woman - she's a single mother and she is so faithful. She's amazing. I'm very excited for both of them! We'll probably be extending two more this week, one to a teenage girl and another to a man who lives up the bukid where the giant pig lives. It's been amazing to watch these people change. I feel very privileged that the Lord has allowed me to witness such amazing things. </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So a jeepney is like a jeep that's been extended so you can fit more people in. See if you can google it! I'll try to take some pictures ;D the really boss drivers can fit like 30 people in, but most just fit like 15. Just two benches, one on either side of the jeepney and a tiny walkway in the middle. A habal-habal is a motorcycle. More like a dirt bike. And on average they cram 3 people on those things! But I've seen up to 6. In America, none of this is even CLOSE to legal. 6 people on a two-seater dirt bike...no way.</span></i></div>
