KAMUSTA KAMO!!!! MAAYO NGA SEMANA TUNGOD INDI MAGBATON AKO SANG REASSIGNMENT KAG MAGKADTO AKO SANG PILIPINAS SA MIERCOLES

this has been a crazy week wowza. but GUESS WHAT!!! My visa came through so I am going straight to the Philippines on Wednesday!!!

Out of the 21 of us learning Hiligaynon, 9 people got temporarily reassigned while they wait for their visas to come through. So it has been a crazy week waiting to find out. Some people found out Tuesday about their reassignments, but everyone who is going straight to the Phlippines found out yesterday that our visas came through!!
So we've all been super excited and also super sad that we can't all go together :( But we've all just been trusting that wherever we were to end up, is where we are supposed to be for a specific reason!! So its been good. 

Some highlights of the week-
- Got to stay up an extra hour on the fourth of july to watch fireworks!!! honestly best day of the mish so far
- got to skype the philippines and teach a lesson to someone over there!!! it was so so cool and made me even more excited to get over there. We get to do it again tonight!!!
- FOUND OUT THAT THEY'RE PUTTING WASHING MACHINES IN THE MISSIONARY  APARTMENTS IN BACOLOD SO I DONT HAVE TO WASH MY CLOTHES BY HAND ive been celebrating all week 

Basically its been a good week!!!
So once I leave here on Wednesday, we fly out to LA and have an 8 hour layover there. Then our flight to the Philippines leaves at midnight and is about 15 hours I think. So it'll be a good time. Then when we get there, we go to the Manilla Missionary Training Center for a week, to let us get accustomed to the culture and meet filipinos and practice teaching them!! And then I fly out to Bacolod where the real work actually begins!!

I am so so excited!! 
My favorite scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6 which says 
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths"
We have all had to learn just to trust God this week with all the craziness of reassignments going on. I know that I am going where I need to be right now and that He is very involved in this process!! 

I cant wait to get there!! Next time you hear from me I'll be in the PHILIPPINES!!!!!

Palangga ta kamo!!

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 ...
