July 28, 2024 WEEK 51 Typhoon Karina? 🌀⛈️

 Wow its been a week. The craziest thing is the three typhoons, right now its still typhooning but this is only the second one. The first biggest one Karina flooded everything and is now in Taiwan. We have been hiking through knee deep flood water this whole week but I would take that any day over the heat 


HIGHLIGHTS
- 15 FRIENDS AT CHURCH! This was a huge miracle for us, the members in this ward have been amazing with helping the work and giving us referals. The assistants to the prez called and told us it was the most in the mission this week and we will have to make a video for the devotional tonight
- Floods everywhere and the strongest rain I have ever seen in my life, almost everyday we've gotten a "code red rainfall emergency alert" buzzing the phone
- Getting stuck in the apartment for a day
- Got a free ride in an ambulance (not because anyone was hurt it was just a member)
- Getting to go to a resort for one of our friends birthday party
- A lady that works at our favorite store one day just asked if she could go to our church
- Running into a crazy Irish guy passing by on the street
- Because my dress was so wet once we got to a members house she pulled out a crazy outfit for me to wear with a velvet purple shirt with diamonds and a yellow floral skirt haha 
- Waves at the beach have been HUGE

CULTURE
At fast food restaurants there are guards packing huge guns in the entrances 

ESPIRITUAL NA ISIP 

" Try the Lord." "and see if anything is too hard for
Him." 

This is just a quote from the "Saints" book. I thought it was really good and so true. Nothing is too hard for the Lord and nothing is impossible to Him. We need to trust Him and know that He will take care of us ♡

PICS
- floods floods floods
- The outfit a member gave me 
- The best birthday package ever thanks mom & dad ♡

  Keyboard ka ba? Kasi type kita... I love Tagalog pick up lines! this one means are you a keyboard because you're my type haha It has been such a great week but soo weird because we have been doing a few things for the last time! I fly out Saturday night for the Philippines and will arrive that monday. We actually skip completely over sunday because of the time zone differences. I have never been so scared and excited at the same time in my life. I have learned so much this week. I loved learning about repentance and faith, God is willing to help us repent and give us that grace if we are willing to let Him! HIGHLIGHTS - Singing "Hindi Ko Alam" to everything (It means I don't know) - We all signed a paper promising to not speak english until wednesday and it lasted maybe one day (our teacher played inspirational music while we signed it) - I finally got the first vision memorized in Tagalog at the start of the week! - Brother Macarilay has a Tagalog speaking Fi...

Homecoming- Touring the Philippines with Mom and Dad March 22-March 27

Image
 Ashlyn was released from her mission on March 22, 2025 at the Baguio Mission Home.  Because President and Sister Wilson couldn't be there, The Caldwells came to meet us and help with her release.  This was a tender mercy because the Caldwells had treated Ashlyn like a daughter throughout her mission and watched over her from the day they found her in the Provo MTC until the day she left.  Originally, President Watt was scheduled to release Ashlyn over a phone video conference, but ended up having other obligations and he authorized her dad to release her, which was also a very special and tender moment.  A lot of tears of joy were shed when we saw Ashlyn again after 19.5 months and after she had to sadly take off her tags and say goodbye to this chapter of her life. After her release, we got to take Ashlyn to the Awesome Hotel, which she had seen before in her mission area and vowed that she would stay at some day.  I will never forget how excited she wa...

HIGHLIGHTS - Christmas con!! We took a 4 bus ride down to LA Union and back so all together we traveled 8 hours that day. My favorite part of the travel was playing with one of the elders electric massager because it makes your nerves in your hand go crazy if you put it on your arm. We were all laughing so hard  - I got HUGGED by a 20 year old drunk guy - I also got super sick this week but luckily after a 5 hour nap and a lot of prayers I was totally fine to go work - The Caldewalls my favorite senior couple took us to some of our poorest friends and we shared a message and gave them bags of rice and veggies it was an amazing experience and we felt the spirit so strong - The branch Christmas party was fun it was mostly games and karaoke  - We just got news that our mission will now get phones for everyone so companionships don't have to share!! We are super excited about it - I started my French fries on fire in the microwave and smoked out the apartment woops  CHRISTMAS...
