HELLO FRIENDS!!! 

what a week!! its been another week with not a whole ton of work. sister hopkins is still way sick :(( but i love her and we've had fun still!!! 

we've had lots of adventures in our little balay though
1. may or may not have acted out all of High School Musical
2. did a whole ton of studying and we're basically scriptorians 
3. maybe made a scripture chase for the johnson fam (stay tuned it will probably arrive in your mailbox in approximately 3 weeks)
4. figured out the chords on the ukulele to basically the entire hymbook
5. and WE ARE 90% SURE I GOT BIT BY A COCKROACH ON MY FACE IN MY SLEEP. THIS IS HORRIFYING. you have NO idea how fast i whipped out the mosquito net for my bed that my mom told me to start using months ago. moms always know best :)

but its okay how many people can say they lived in a 3rd world country and got 2 cockroach bites on their face? i hope not many

so ya know we're still pushing along!!! we've had lots of talks about God's plan for us this week. And how He has His will set out for us, and our job is to align our will to His. I know that we'll be the happiest if we can just trust Him and His divine plan!!!

kag kabalo gid ko nga matuod gid ang simbahan ni jesucristo sa mga santos sa uli nga mga adlaw. kag kon saligan naton ang plano sang dios para sa aton, mangin malipayon ta. gintuon namon damo parte sa sina samtang sining semana. kag hidlaw ko sa inyo tanan. 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 ...
