GrAbE!!! What a week!!!! Transfers were on Tuesday. I stayed in Iriga and I received Sister De Leon as
my companion (picture attached).She is from Tarlac, Philippines. Sobra mabait
siya! I was so excited to have her as my companion :) I was called as the Senior
Companion...it was fun while it lasted...she was teaching me Tagalog and I was
teaching her how to become a better missionary....it was such a great
combination! And it was so much fun teaching with her, because I knew what she
was saying and I knew that we both knew what we were going to teach...
On Saturday I received a call from
President Bliesner. It was a call for an emergency transfer and I was being
asked to receive the new companion in my area. So Sister De Leon and I packed
her stuff and left the next morning to receive our new companions. My new
companion is Sister Tumagoy. She is in the middle of her training. So I went
from being a senior companion for four days and then became a trainer in
four...so it has been a lot of adjusting to try to train a new sister. Sister
Tumagoy is a really great teacher and has the potential to become a great
missionary. I am excited to train her...I have already learned so much from
being with her :)
This week has been busy with traveling and exchanging
companions, so very little appointments. But from the appointments that we have
had, there have been some really great miracles and blessings. We had one of our
investigators progress in their prayer....it may sound so small...but as it says
in the scriptures, "and thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about
great things". It was such a blessing to us to see her pray and I felt the
Spirit as we shared with her the Book of Mormon. We also had one of our
investigators attend church...she really enjoyed it and the members were really
supportive in our work to bring her to the branch.
The weather is hot as
usual here...there are a lot of concerns of dehydration among the missionaries
and so it has been a goal of mine to avoid it. But it has struck many of the
missionaries already. The new batch of missionaries that came in this Tuesday were filled with 18 yr old
Elders and 19 yr old Sisters. It is so amazing to see the Lord working in this
to bring about the salvation of His people.
