October 6, 2024 WEEK 61 Miracle Fruit ✨️🍈

It has been quite the week one of my favorite parts was when we were given a "miracle fruit" and then spent an hour trying to figure out how to eat it. It's the size of two watermelons and when you cook it it turns from white to dark purple. It tasted horrible 1/10 but it's supposed to heal pretty much every disease so I think I'm immune to cancer now

HIGHLIGHTS
- Mike Mike's baptism!! It went so much more smoothly and he was soo happy to be baptised
- I decided to extend my mission so I will be coming home March 28th now ♡
- I'm getting transferred and will be training a new Americana missionary! 
- Saying goodbye to all the friends and members :'( I got really attached to this area and companion it's going to be so hard leaving 
- lots of super productive finding almost every other person this week let us in their door for us to share a message it was so good!
- My trainee S.Wardell is graduating her training this week I'm so excited for her 
- Happy Fall Everyone :'( :'( 

CULTURE
Pray for the people of Baroro, in one of my areas all of the houses are going to get destroyed on the beach in order to build a huge resort. The people have no where to go it is SO SAD

ESPIRITUAL NA ISIP

I have been praying quite a bit about whether or not to extend so I asked God and then flipped open my Book of Mormon, this is the verse I flipped to:

Mosiah 29: 20
"the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him."

Not only did it have the word "extend" in the verse but it also tells me that if I trust Him He will put me where I need to be ♡

  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...
