Wear Your Off Lotion

Bruh. I have to go to the hospital. I have all the symptoms of dengue. Let me tell ya, I love the Philippines but I am not obsessed with the healthcare. Anyway we have to go wait many hours for them to process my insurance.

Here are some pics from this week.

YOU’RE SO TRIPPING

Sister Ugalino worked with us for a few days because he companion finished her mission. The Elders in our district taught her american slang and now she always says “you're so tripping”. Sister Castañaga has also started saying “the dogs are out”. 

Lubrique family! We set a baptisimal date for Ate Nicole!

Cahilig family!

We met this little girl while we were eating lunch. She gave us all a kiss on the cheek and then took off the bracelets she was wearing and gave us each one. Definitely made my day.

Sassy, bougie and rachet.

MAMA MARY

The Mama Mary thing has followed me here. The ward has started calling me Mama Mary and the other day I said hi to a tatay, he freaked out and then crossed himself. 


MGA NAGSIMBA

We were crazy punted this week but we still saw miracles for our efforts. We had 9 people come to church. Bruh. Probably they won't all result in a baptism but it was amazing to see these people come to church for the first time. Also I have been freshly dangued at church and I was super out of it but hey we made it through.

Tatay Benjiiiiiii!!!! Tatay has been taught for a while now and he loves the Book of Mormon. This past week we asked how his reading was going and he said he doesn't really understand it. We started explaining and he goes “I think I just need to come to church for it to make sense”. We were like yah tatay you should definitely do that. And he came and he made friends and it made my heart so happy. 

Sister Jenny and the Lubrique family!!

Ate Angel! (the one in the middle). She is learning how to read by reading the Book of Mormon! We gave them Energen so they don't have an excuse to drink coffee. Lol.

MCM! I know this may seem like a lame thing to write about but we have really struggled with member coordination here in Numancia. We had an actual Missionary Coordination Meeting and people actually came! Its the little things.

♡ Jesus loves you, choose the right and wear your off lotion.

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...
