Progress in Marigondon

Dear Fams!

Nahigugma Ko kaninyo

Welp this week has been so fast. The time in Marigondon really has been fun. My trainer went home and my other 2 companions (Sister Williams and Sister Caluyo), President Hansen, and Sister Hansen go home in July this next transfer.

We have some great investigators who are really progressing. Looking back I see that the Lord really does prepare his children for the gospel.

First Transfer

Dear Family I love your faces!

I heard all the challenges it's crazy how hard Satan is working. Transfers tomorrow... drum roll please... I am transferring to Marigondon OPENING AN AREA! That hardly ever happens for the sisters here I heard, but I am excited to see what happens. I am glad that I am trusted with this by President Hansen and Heavenly Father. My new companion is Sister Falculan she is amazing. She was in my district these last 3 transfers and now we are companions starting tomorrow.

So this week has been really fun. Today we baked brownies and cake Sister Brand and Sister Falculan came over, so it was Sister Caluyo, Sister Williams, Sister Tumala, Sister Brand, Sister Falculan, and I. We ate pizza and baked P-day in the mission field good times!  But it wasn't good for me because I made a pact with Sister Hansen our mission President's wife that we would lose 2 pounds a week, I'm just going to have to run super hard tomorrow morning. We have been running in the morning and we walked up the bukid all day yesterday I'm so sore its great. President Hansen challenged all of us to go APE in the morning (Arise, Pray, and Exercise).

Making New Friends: 40 New Investigators in A Week

Dearest Family!

This week has been awesome. We have been having  an adventure and finding many new friends. Many people are prepared to  hear the gospel and I love them all. We have been teaching many  children lately and they are so precious. I can see why the children  are favorites. We have been doing a lot of finding this transfer,  because I only have one companion now Sister Caluyo and the area is  split so there is four of us. Sister Williams and Sister Tumala. I  love the Greeny she is so nice and is way fun. We all live together and it's definitely good memories!

Our area is split so we basically can go any where in the area we want. We didn't set specific boundaries for our companionships because  we can discover new areas if there are no limits! We got to choose how the area was split. It seems like there are a million people we  haven't met yet and we had 40 new investigators this week and invited  500+ people to learn! We are only increasing everyday.

Splitting the Area in Cebu City

Nahigugma Ko kaninyo!

First of all I love you!!

This week is transfers week and the power of three is being seperated. Our area is being split in two and we will have four people in our apartment. Sister Williams is training for the first time, and me and Sister Caluyo are going to be companions. Our zone leader Elder Gubb is transferring and so is our Assistant to the President Elder Gatdula. Sister Bundac is going home this week and it makes me realize how fast the time has been going by. People I know are going home now!

Live-In Partners

Family!

I can't believe how fast the time is going I feel like I just got here yesterday! I'm never going to get used to the time on the mission. It seems like the time goes so fast because its go go go all the time, and I love it.

This last Saturday January 29, 2011 Sister Grace Hardy was baptized it was really awesome. She definitely was one of those people who was ready for baptism. She has one of the strongest testimonies, and she has such a good heart. She always wants to feed us and even if we wanted to we cant escape her house without her feeding us. Her baptism was small, but her sister ended up coming which was good i think for Sister Grace. On Sunday Sister Grace and Brother Hardy came late, because they were coming all the way from Sister Graces home in the Providence and so she wasn't confirmed. She was really disappointed, but we made sure she knew we would do it next Sunday.
