Nay, Busog Na Ako

Hey besties, just a quick one this week kay gusto ko matulog and not a ton happened this week. Things are still about the same here in Numancia and Sister Castañaga and I are still going strong. 

EXCHANGES

We had exchanges again this week with the one and only KALIBO 2ND SISTERSSSSS.

Lots of love
(see pictures)

I worked with Sister Oquindo in their area and sheeeesh baskog talagaaaa. Trainee pa lang pero ang baskog na man. I also got to practice my Tagalog a little bit. We met some mean people on the beach, ate some late night Frank's and of course played guitar way past our bedtime. You could say we're pretty rowdy.

MAKATO DISTIRCT

We had our district activity on the beach and we just went and looked at the water. Joke lang. We attempted volleyball, roasted some colorful marshmallows and learned that not all uno players are created equal. 

Meet the fam feat. Elder Walker, Elder Bitner, Sister Licudine, Sister Ugalino, Sister Castañaga and of course I'm the one in the jorts.

A cool man gave us free key chains and invited us to his house for Mother Mary’s Birthday party. I didn’t realize she was still doing those.

LITTLE MOMENTS

This week was Disneyland Indiana Jones style rough. Lots of work with very little results. But despite the rejections and sleepiness I want to share a few of my favorite moments this week.

Explaining the entire plot of the Lorax to Sister Castañaga in Akeanon #complanguagestudy.

A drunk tatay gave us free chicharon and then forced his grandchildren to let us teach them. Thanks bestie.

Sander came to church! His grandma is a member and he has been taught for several years now. But his parents don't want him to be baptized. Bruh.

Brother Philip, one of our recent converts, invited us to his birthday party and then nanay kept making us eat more rice and drink more coke. Nay Busog na akoooo. Kaon sister gani.

Saw some cute puppies. 

BOOK OF MORMON

I just wanted to quickly share my testimony of the Book of Mormon. I know the Book of Mormon is true. Sometimes I still have doubts about other aspects of the gospel, but because I know the Book of Mormon is true those doubts are insignificant. Everytime I read and reread the Book of Mormon the stories become more real, my testimony is renewed and I feel my savior's love for me. Read the Book of Mormon and then read it again. You will find something that speaks to you and you will grow closer to Christ.

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...
