Kamusta everybody!!
So I've been here a full 9 days now which is crazy. It goes by really fast and really slow at the same time but its been a good week!!

Some highlights:
-Got stuck in the super sketchy elevator in our residance hall (which has been on my bucket list for a solid 7 years). it was only for like 2 minutes but all the other sisters were like freaking out but i was thriving.
-Cleaned some toilets for an hour on wednesday for our service project and wore some super cute gloves and goggles cause supposedly we were dealing with chemicals that if they touched our skin it would burn through?? interesting
-Got chick fil a catered on friday and literally started crying ive never been so happy

basically things are going great over here!!!
The language is getting easier. We teach a lesson every day fully in Illongo which is fun but can be stressful. Its sort of making sense now!!

I love my district!! They're super fun and most of us are from BYU so its basically a party. 
We haven't all quite figured out how to work these cameras or computers yet so I can only attach one picture but this is me and Sister Christensen!! We're super tight i love her. 

On Tuesday Elder Gong of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles came and spoke to us and on Saturday Sheri Dew came and spoke too!! It was so so cool to have them here. Something that Sheri Dew said that I loved was that we all have an intricate orbit that intersects others' orbits at exact places where it is supposed to. God has a specific plan for each of us and there are no such thing as coincidences!!

Also I ran into a scripture that I loved in the Book of Mormon the other day!! its Mosiah 24:14 and it basically says that God is with us every day and he doesnt leave us without help!

Basically life is good over here!!! If anybody is curious what I'm up to over here, call up your local mormon missionaries and hear their lessons and think of me doing that exact same thing all the way in the philippines :') 

Kabalo ako nga matuod ang libro ni mormon kag pulong sang dios :)

Palangga ta ka!!!

wow what a week!!!  i just wanna start out by sending all my love to the Tucker family and everyone else who is struggling from loss of their cute mom. All my prayers are being sent in that direction and i wish i could be there with all my heart. But even from far away, I feel a lot of peace from God's plan for us and I know that He is with us in all of our trials and He can literally carry us through. This is one lesson I have really learned since being here. It is really hard to see in the moment sometimes, but God's plan is divine and was created since the world began. He knows us better than we know ourselves and he will push us to our limits, but He will give us the strength to handle all things that we experience!! and i love you all!! but this week was quite a week over here in the Philippines!! the highlight of the week- -this week me and Sister Behrends were tricked into eating Soup #5. look it up if you wanna know what that is. lets just say it was a...

(luckily he only fractured his arm) but she came to church yesterday and told us that god gives people trials to see how they'll act in the midst of them, and shes using them to come closer to Christ. i just love these people and their faith even when things are so hard.  I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A GOOD WEEK HAPPY LATE VALENTINES DAY AND EARLY ...
