I can't believe
that it has been six weeks since Sister Lorente got here!! I am amazed
at how fast time goes here! This Thursday is Transfer day and Sister
Mckinney is getting transferred to Lipa :( I am really so sad. It is
going to be super weird to not live with her any more because she got
here just one transfer before me. Ha and I just love her. She is a great
missionary though and I hope in this next area of her's she can see
some baptisms!! Sister Finau will be getting a new kasama this week and
Sister Lorente and I should both be staying her!
Anyway. This past week has been good. We had a curfew last Monday
because it was their election day, on Halloween, and All Saints day
(Nov. 1) at 6 pm. We didn't have as much time to work this week because President
didn't want us out considering the people start drinking in the morning and
all throughout the day. It was super hard to get lessons too because
they all were either at the cemetery or on their way there on Thursday
and Friday. Our lesson numbers were not so great. We did our best
with the time we did have to work.
Since we did have a curfew though, we all wanted to do something
fun, but for 2 of the days, we ended up just washing our clothes. On All Saints Day we watched Finding Faith in Christ and the
Restoration and ate a lot of chips. Ha it was pretty fun. After...yep you guessed it...we washed the rest of our clothes. Haha it
was great.
There wasn't too much that happened this week because a lot of our investigators were out of town this week for the holidays plus there was
no school for the kids this week. Hopefully next week it will be
back to normal. Plus we met with the bishop yesterday and he gave us a
list of some less active members, so we will be busy visiting them this
week as well.
Some fun facts for this week:
-Filipino funerals are
quite extensive. As in they put the casket in a glass hearse and then all
the family walks behind it down to the cemetery and they totally back
traffic up.
-I walked through my second pair of rubber shoes
-I can
speak Tagalog SO much better, but understanding when people talk to me
is still kinda rough. I am definitely improving though
I love you all and thank you so much for your prayers and love each week!
