November 25, 2024 WEEK 68 Filipino Nachos 🧀

This week was pretty chill not a lot happened but we got to go to this restaurant we have been wanting to go to for a long time, s.Tyler ordered nachos thinking there was Mexican food here just for them to bring her fried lumpia Wrappers with fake melted cheese on top. It was so gross hahaha

HIGHLIGHTS

- we had transfers and I will be staying here in Abra finishing S.Tylers training 
- some of my friends from other areas got put in our district I'm so excited about it
- the Lauretta family is praying about baptism and we are so excited about it
- found a really cool guy from Pakistan that we get to speak English with 
- I saw a baby monkey
- We hiked up this hill today with the district and took pics at the I ♡ ABRA sign

CULTURE
In Abra pancit noodles are different- they are called Abra Miki IT IS SO GOOD we bought a huge bag of it and eat it almost everyday

ESPIRITUAL NA ISIP

I was able to finish D&C this week and I have been reading the Pearl of Great Price. I really like the story in Moses 5:6 where an angel asks Adam why he is making sacrifices to the Lord and he says: "I know not save the Lord commanded me" 

Im sure there are so many times when we are commanded to do something and aren't sure why, I like the principle of following God's will anyways because we love Him and trust in His reasoning. "Obey now, Understand Later" lablab have a good week ♡

  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...
