hello!!!! another week!! its already week 4 of this transfer! time seriously moves so so so fast its insane.

but first off i wanna say thanks to southlake ward for the package!!! oh my goodness it was the happiest day ever and you guys are the best <3333 and lets just say there were tears shed by everyone in the house when we pulled out some chick fil a sauce. ever tried that with rice? 8/10 recommend. SO MUCH LOVE THANK YOUUUU

but yayayy!! life is good!!
its been another slower week work wise, cause my cute comp is still way sick. but we keep ourselves busy and sit on our balcony and watch the sunset and play our ukulele's and sing songs. a couple days ago we were out there and our neighbors literally set up chairs in their backyard and faced us and watched us sing it was so funny hahaha they were waving and cheering it was too good. so yeah we put on shows every day now and we may start charging so

this week we went to visit this one woman named MikMik who i just LOVE. she was the first person i met when i got to Santa Fe and i just absolutely love her. we went to her house the other day and she said that their whole fam just has the flu and its been horrible and that we came at the exact time she needed us. we hadnt been able to visit her for about a week and a half and she just said how sad she was all week and how much she loves the feeling when we're there in her house. she said she feels like she can do anything when we're there, even get over the flu. it was so sweet!! and she totally can do anything if she has faith!! thats the best part of this message i think. that with Christ in our lives, we can do anything. I've learned that lesson a ton here. I remember just getting here and was so overwhelmed and thought oh no theres no way that i can do this for 18 months hahaha but now i cant imagine not being here. i love it so sos much and don't know if I have ever been happier. the people here are so so so special and i am reminded of htat every day. who knows how i got so lucky to serve in the philippines.

I love you all and hope you have a great week yaayyayy

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...

MAAYONG AGA SA INYO TANAN sorry this will be a short email this week!!! but we just heard that we can skype our families now??? this is wild we're all in shock over here. but im excited!!! i miss those people life is so good over here!! the trio life is definitely different but fun!! sister bise and baczuk are both awesome and im pumped for the next 5 weeks.  we taught this woman named MikMik this week who I just love. we've been teaching her forever. her daughter was in teh hospital for dengue last week for 8 days, and then this week her son got hit by a car and it just seems like they're hit by trial after trial. (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 ...
