Do You Have Games On Your Phone

Heyyyyy everyone it's been another week. This week flew by but was also the most exhausting week so far. I did a lot of traveling and working with different missionaries in different areas. I fell asleep in lots of cool places. I'm getting super good at just finding a comfy position and passing out for like 30 mins. I saw lots of beautiful places, met kind people and got to know amazing missionaries! I've also been thinking a lot about Christ's grace this week but more on that later. The work is hard but the life is good.


EXCHANGES IN GUIMBAL AND TIGBAUAN 

So this week Sister Francisquete had a leadership meeting and then exchanges. So for me that means that I worked with Sister Rascano for 2 ish days. The second day we traveled to Guimbal to help the new sisters there learn the area. The Guimbal sisters are Sister Dela Cruz and Sister Castañaga and they are amazeballs. Guimbal is a massive area and the people there speak Caray-ah but it is so so pretty.

We saw a caribou in the water. From left to right: Castañaga, Dela Cruz, me, Rascano

Some cute members we met in Guimbal! 

LAKAT
(see pictures)

Lakat means walk in Hiligaynon and that's what we did a lot of this week. Obviously we always walk a lot but this week we did a lot of exploring areas which means we walked and walked. Here are some cool photos we took while walking.

This one is called "do you have games on your phone".

We met this cute family Sunday night! We were trying to explore our area and find a shortcut to one of our interested people and we ended up finding them! We gave them all photos of Jesus and we are going back to bring them bibles (but guess what- they're getting Books of Mormon too heh). 

AREVALO DISTRICT SISTERS

We eat at chicken inasal after almost every district meeting!

GRACE

This week I've had to say to myself "girl chill". I can't be perfect. I'm not going to do everything right everytime. I can't be perfectly obedient everytime. Lots of people recommened the talk "The Imperfect Harvest" but I didn't actually get a chance to read it until this past Sunday and its real good. I know that I've written about this before but turns out I needed to hear it again. "Regardless of how insignificant our efforts may seem, if we are sincere, the Savior will use us to accomplish His work. If we simply do the best we can and trust Him to make up the difference, we can become part of the miracles that surround us." So good so good. Our "harvest" will never be enough. But thats the point. In Jacob 4:7 it says "Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things." Christ's grace is enough. He already paid for our mistakes and now all he askes of us is to try anf be like him. Just try and then try again.

I love you lots and lots. I love my family and I love my savior. Now I have to go because Sister Francisquete and I forgot to pay the electricity bill hehe.

Numancia Baby

Hey guys, you are reading my first ever email from Numancia. This past week was lots of goodbyes, bus rides and me not understanding what people are saying. Double thumbs up. My new area so far is super different from my last area in San Jose but I love it here. My new comp is Sister Castañaga and she is the nicest person I have ever met. Anyway, here's the rundown.  LAST MOMENTS IN ANTIQUE My week from Sunday to Thursday was still about normal work wise with some added packing and goodbyes. It was so hard saying goodbye to some of our new converts and so yah I maybe cried a little. My very last day of work in San Jose almost none of our appointments went through and was feeling a little bit the worst. But Sister Pernitez and I (shout out to my daughter she's all grown up and saving China) decided to introduce the Book of Mormon to this lady we met on the street. She was outside this lodge full of drunk men and while we were explaining the Holy Ghost this absolute broski pokes ...

Well, I Made Some Rocks

Hellooooooo it's Sister Larson again. Surprise. It's been a solid week. I had a cold which shouldn't have been that much of a big deal but it had me feeling like one of those frogs that came out in the rain but then got hit by a motorcycle and then dried up in the sun. You know that feeling?  I made a collage to better illustrate. But just like these dead frogs still made this beautiful collage my week was still beautiful and full of miracles. (Picture 1) EXCHANGES A highlight of this week was our exchanges with the Kalibo 2nd sisters! I got to work with Sister Camain who is a girlboss. We met lots of cool people and got some new mosquito bites. (Pictures 2-3) NUMANCIA PEOPLE AND PLACES Numancia never ceases to amaze me. One moment it's dusty beer bottles and factories and the next it's the most stunning sunset over a flooded rice field. But more than the scenery is the people. With that in mind, here are some of the beautiful children of God we taught this week (an...

"Sa Taas"

This week was lots of new and saying goodbye to old. I said goodbye to my companion Sister Castañaga. We were companions for so long so it was like saying goodbye to my best friend. But mostly I'm excited for her and the next few chapters of her life. Palangga ta ka ate Eddielyn. Kitaay sa pagkasal mo. Osoyan mo ro gwapo. I also met my new companion Sister Panuelos and she is sooooo baskog. She is small but fierce. She's straight up with our IPs and members and also literally hilarious. We're still getting to know eachother but she like One Direction so we should be good.  ANYWAY. here's the rundown BYE BYE SISTER CASTAÑAGA  Early Wednesday morning I said goodbye to Sister Castañaga and sent her on the bus to Iloilo. RIP. Saying goodbyes. Also my fit is wack because I didn't do my laundry last week. Please forgive. LAST DCM. we didn't really get any good pics. Last picture together RIP. Enjoy your life without me Sister. Eat some real Ilocano food and hug your m...
