The Month Of Thanks!!!! Nov 6th 2016

So i hope that you all were able to have a wonderful Halloween this week you guys!!!!! it was a little weird to not be in america or celebrate Halloween but it was cool to experience a different cultures way of celebrating it :) but we werent able to really work cause literally everyone was at the Cementario that day.

So this week has been an interesting week and we haven't been able to work that much which was a bummer.... so the main reason why is cause we went to go get support and the atm didn't work so we went the next day and found out that it took our money but the atm had no money at the time so we had no money at all and had to talk with the bank about it which it was closed cause of Halloween. the next day it took about 3 hours to figure that out so we didn't get much work done that day either.... but one of the cool things is that we are teaching lesson 2 ang plano sang kaluwasan to all of our investigators right now and after Halloween perfect time to teach it :) Heavenly Father works in amazing ways :) but we have been able to find some more families in the week :) Super happy to teach them

So one of our families we taught we taught them about the Plan of Salvation and after the lesson we talked about Baptism and extended an invitation to them and the Father was telling us about how he is already baptized and then he said one of the things no one wants to here " Sano kamo maguntat sang pagtudlo sa amon" when will you guys stop teaching us? freak does that hurt to hear.... it breaks my heart when i hear that... but we are gonna go back and teach about Baptism to him and his family and hopefully he will understand the difference and why it is important but we will hopefully be able to do that this week! 

the other main reason why we haven't gotten much work done is because my companion actually got the flu on saturday after we went trackting and gave a blessing to a whole family with the flu but it got really bad around 11 am so we went home and since then he has just been resting and trying to feel better... i won't go to deep into this but so it has been sitting at home and taking care of my companion these past few days!!!! haha it's alright i am taking advantage of it and learning things for the future ;) also yesterday we had stake conference! for me this was my second one in the past two months!!!! wohoo :) but it was really good and we got to hear from out President :) and i was able to learn some new things so it was worth it :) also super exciting we get to hear from an Apostle this week on the 13th!!!! Elder Cook will be coming here and talking with all the Missionaries :) so i am really really looking forward to that and to be able to meet him :) so i will let you know how that goes :) haha but other than that, that is all i can think of from this week :) also here are pictures from this week :) i hope you enjoy :) Remember who you are. Strive to do your best. Write down things you are Grateful for in your life :) you have 17 days till Thanksgiving, write down things you are Grateful for and how you can help serve others :) try and set something for each day and look for something in each day till thanksgiving to thank Heavenly Father for :) try to find something new for each day :) I love you all Palangga gd ko kamo kag nahidlaw gd ako sa inyo!!!!

Keep Smiling :)

pagpalangga,
