So first of all, no way cool pictures this week.
SORRY! But it was a crazy week. Our area is growing, and with all the
new missionaries we will be getting 2 new missionaries in Ocampo,
meaning we need to find a new apartment- not easy to find here! We still
haven't found the right one and time is coming quick! Anyway, we WILL
find it! And then we need to get moved to. We are pretty busy here, but I
LOVE IT! Elder Guanio is still bomb, and still short. Sometimes I pat
him on the back or something of that nature and I feel like I will kill
him... He's tiny- but has a massive testimony. So we're doing good
still.
Also I got the letter from Logan. Tell him I will write him
soon! LOGAN CROOKS IS THE BOMB! Can't wait to see that kid. Also I got
the Valentines package as you can tell, thanks Mama! Reeces Peanut
Butter Cups are the key to my heart hahaha. Nothing like that here in
the Philippines. Thanks for everyone's emails too- always good to hear
from ya all!
The cows are calving? Did I read that right? Trunky na ako
haha biro lang. Life is great here and Tagalog is getting A lot EASIER!
haha. BICOL... still very hard. It would be great if these people just
spoke Tagalog hahaha, I want to learn Bicol though. Hopefully before I
leave I will be pretty good at it too!
So last week we tried a "finding idea" to get a new
investigator via referal, what you do is teach The Restoration to a
member, hopefully a very good lesson, and then ask who they my know who
needs this lesson. It can be a very great technique to get investigators
and members remember their own conversion and the importance of this
gospel. We taught Nanay De Leon and it was AWESOME. She basically just
taught us hhaha. She told us her testimony and how important the gospel
is in her life. It is hard for her to go to church but she goes EVERY
WEEK. She told us, "You are Jesus's army." and that "missionaries are
angels." NOW I'll tell you... missionaries aren't angels but obedient
diligent missionaries can be angelic to the eyes of those they teach.
The lesson was awesome, I couldn't hold back my tears as I heard her
testimony and her feelings toward missionaries. The people missionaries
teach have every right to see their missionaries as "the army of God" I
feel that way EVERYDAY when I put on my NAME TAG, I fear no one. The
calling of a missionary, or a "representative of Jesus Christ" is so
important. I feel it everyday. And I know, that he is in this work.
Anyway, the lesson was awesome and hopefully next week we will have a
bomb referral from her. Nanay De Leon ay astig! Feeling the spirit is
the coolest thing ever... especially when you are prompted to say things
you have never before said in a different language to a complete
stranger and it is what they need to hear. Sometimes the Holy Ghost
speaks English, sometimes Tagalog, but it always speaks to the heart!
Also PUNCTUALITY is killing me! "Philipino Time" will be the
death of me. I have too much "Kathleen" in me to keep up with this
lateness hahaha! But church is still great, Sacrament meeting is the
greatest meeting in all the church- it has come to mean so so so much to
me. It gets better every week and I hope and expect that will continue
my whole life.
So time is short. Kinda a boring email, sorry. I will try
harder next week. We have ZONE CONFERENCE which is always fun! Just
being a missionary, and trying my darndest. Mahal ko kayong lahat!
