Another One Bites The Dust

Another bites the dust.

I don't have a ton to write about this week but here we go. 


MOTHER MARY

I don't know what I did differently this week but an exponentially higher number of people, old and young, have been telling me I look like Mother Mary.

*I would a pic for reference here but that seems borderline sacrilegious*.


PEOPLE WE TAUGHT

So as per uge we taught some people this week. We always always invite them to church and frankly they rarely come. But this week we actually had like 6 or 7 people come to church! It was a definite moment of “no effort is wasted” for me.

We didn't get pictures with all of them but here are two. Pearl is the girls in the first photo and she is so fun. I also helped proofread one of her English assignments and I was really trying to remember that APA format.

The second is Nanay Domingga. She is super sweet and always tries to give us her food.

JHEA

Jhea came to church on Sunday so she will be baptized on Saturday!

SPIRITUAL SOMETHING

Just short this week

God loves you and he has a plan for you. So: be of good cheer :). If we keep his commandments we will have peace and joy in this life and the life to come.

Over and out

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...
