Pinay Ka Ba?

MONDAY

On Monday I made Sister Arnold try Isaw (chicken intestine). It was good. And then it was not tasting so good. I think they didn't clean the intestine super well. Yum. We did buy it behind a mall near the river from a 14 year old girl.

TUESDAY

We followed up with the Nayo familyyyyy. Everyone pray for them. Thank you. They still have some big obstacles to overcome before they can be baptized but their desire is strong!

This day a rabies dog bit sister Arnold in slow motion. Idk but thats what happened and I definitely just laughed. Bad parenting moment. #notgoingonthemommyblog

Met this cute nanay.

THURSDAY

We tried to find a new person being taught from a one day mission a few weeks ago and well we found her. It was this 4 foot something, 70+ nanay and when we got to her house we said “hi nay what up” and she was like “I'm going to go give someone a massage” and I was like “ wow you're so strong”. And she flips me so my back is towards her and starts giving me a freaking massage. low key gas.

We also taught the Llanza family and their dog was chewing on Sister Arnold the whole time.

Dug some holes and got skin cancer.

“Pinay ka ba?”

Stay hydrated.

My regrowth bangs are showing in this pic but this is Sister Nelyn! We extended baptism to her this week! After explaining proper authority and how important it is to follow Christ’s example, she agreed to be baptized in January!

SUNDAY

No one came to church. 

Some of the Young Women and YSA and their leader worked with us and it was giving fell👏ow👏ship👏ing. 

The final countdown. Less than a month na. Going home was not real until December hit. I restudied the Christmas story in the Bible and Book of Mormon and I really loved Mary's “magnificot” (that's a fancy word I used to know) in Luke chapter 1. 

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

And I quite liked that verse but I don't have the energy to elaborate. But I know God magnifies our efforts and perfects us through 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...
