Magandang Hapon po!
Kamusta!
What a week. I think
every time I say it was a busy week the next week just gets busier. I feel like
we barely had any time to work in our own area this week because of going to
Cauayan for training, Christmas devotionals, and a day of attending baptisms in
the zone. The Christmas Devotional by the First Presidency was awesome,
hopefully you got to watch it. If not, it is always online. I love listening to
the music just as much as the talks. They've got some skills! Haha. The Cauayan
mission is also sponsoring a Christmas Devotional for every Stake/District in
the mission, which was last Friday for us. It was way cool (but then
again, everything is planned by Sis. Carlos!), and the missionaries
had to perform a couple songs, and the Shaners tagged along with their great
musical abilities. Elder Shaner played his violin, and they did several songs
which were awesome. I was super happy when we had 2 of our investigator
families show up, because even though it is a sacrifice for people to make a
trip to the stake center from our area at night, they were definitely in for a
treat. The last song we did was "I Believe in Christ", which was kind
of fun because its not a typical Christmas song, but then again its a perfect
Christmas song because that is what Christmas is all about-Christ.
The Spirit was super strong and it definitely helped build my
testimony that Christ truly is our one and only Savior.
Not really sure why
everyone is freaking out about the whole typhoon thing... If it was up to me, I
wish there was a typhoon every week because it makes the temperature to a
blistery 65 degrees and a nice breeze. Just as long as it doesn't directly hit
Cauayan... Haha. I have loved the cool days and good nights sleep. There really
hasn't been much rain here, just perfect temperatures.
Earlier, we spent
several hours getting our apartment all ready to be packed away. Tomorrow, the
Shaners are coming with their truck to help us move into our new apartment. It
will definitely be a nicer place and keep us from having to travel so much
everyday. At last, I will be able to live in an apartment that I found! Haha.
But, transfers are on Thursday, so I may only get to live in it for 1 day
before being transferred. It will be nice to just spend Christmas here, but,
it's not exactly up to me. I've been here for 4 and a half months, so odds are
starting to add up against me. I'm guessing the package should be here by then
so I can probably pick it up this week.
I'm happy to Skype
any time that the most people will be available, because I do want to be able
to talk to everyone at least for a couple minutes-even if everybody is
scattered across the U.S. If it works out for everyone, maybe lets just plan on
my December 26 about 9AM. Probably be about 7PM for you... Just let me know if that
is okay with everyone. If your Christmas eve will be better, we can do that
too.
Anyways, thanks for
your letters and support. Good luck to mom having her neck hacked at this week.
Mahal ko kayo!
