March 31, 2024 WEEK 34 Happy Easter 🐰

Happy Easter everyone I hope you had a great day ♡

HIGHLIGHTS
- Got to pump this lady's water for her laundry out of a well on the beach
- lots and lots of meriyendas this week (little snacks people give you at lessons and stuff)
- A couple we are teaching said they want to get baptised 
- Our samara beach friends were riding around on a trike and saw us walking home at night so they took us home it was the best
- The craziest exchanges ever where it started raining like crazy out of no where but we didn't have umbrellas so we were just trying to get into any house. And thennn the power went out for the whole town so we made Adobo in the dark with the STLs once we got home
- Getting chased by a shirtless drunk guy with a bucket of water
- Tons of finding because we kind of restarted the area
- Meeting these really cool ministers from Canada, we got to go in their mansion house and share our beliefs back and forth
- Someone's grave in the cemetery started on fire... 👀
- We had a fun Easter we got to paint Eggs with a kit mom sent me and we found ways to do some of our family's Easter traditions 

CULTURE
It's holy week this week so they don't really call it Easter just palm sunday, good Friday, black saturday and stuff like that.

ESPIRITUAL NA ISIP
Jesus lives, He was resurrected so that some day all of us can be resurrected too. You aren't alone He knows exactly what you are going through and has perfect empathy. No matter what there is always time to use His Atonement in your life you are never too far off the path to repent and come back to Him. I know Jesus loves all of us so much I hope we can all strive to remember Him this Easter season ♡

  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

 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...
