I hope they call me on a mission... to the Philippines!: Week 39

Hey hey hey!

Guys, it has been one crazy week! But don't worry- a good kind of crazy. So on Wednesday the APs called and were like tell sister Leakehe, Sister De Los Santos, and Sister Jensen to pack their bags because they are having an emergency transfer! It was totally unexpected and we had to get them packed and loaded within 2 hours! The reason they had to transfer is because the Tacloban missionaries that came here a couple months ago are going back to Tacloban now. Then on Thursday me and Sister Paciano had to pack up all of our stuff because we had to move into another apartment with the other sisters in our ward- Sister Calaunan (my trainer!) and Sister Larkin who I found out is friends with Jenny from St Joseph! Small world right? So now we are all housemates and just lov'n life as usual :)

So another big thing happened. When Sister Leakehe and Sister De Los Santos left, no one came to take their place in their area so President told us that their old area is now combined with ours which was already huge! Its quite the adventure to say the least haha but we've been having TONS of success here! Like it's incredible what hard work, obedience, and help from the Lord can do. This week Sister Paciano and I found 13 new investigators and we had 20 investigators come to church yesterday!!! That was a record for me :) I was so happy to see them walk through the door and to see them really enjoy themselves there. I'm also super excited for Elsa, Harlyn and Carlito who are getting baptized on February 22!!! And then the entire Mangalindan family is getting baptized now march 8!!!! Guys, missions are the best! I just can't get enough of it :)

Earlier my zone and I got to go to Mt Samat because we achieved all our goals for the month of January! It is SOOO pretty up there! I'll try to send some pics- I have to tell you I am not jealous one bit of your 30 degree weather right now haha 80 and sunny all the way baby! hehe :) Well, I just wanted to let you all know how much I love and miss you! Just because I'm focused on my work doesn't mean I still don't think and pray for you often :) You all are THE BEST! Keep up the faith, love everyday and make the most of what God has blessed you with :)
