This week has been so crazy! On Wednesday Sister Gerardo got
a phone call telling her she has a new calling. She is going to be a Sister
Training Leader in Tarlac....that means not here in Guimba... So i got a new
kasama this week! Annnnnd even though i am still in training, I have to lead
the area. It was really sad saying good bye to my Nanay but my Step Nanay is
really nice! She is from Bicol Philippines. She is very sweet! She stepped down
from being an STL to by my step nanay. It was crazy! A lot of our investigators
were really sad but it's important that they understand that they are not
becoming converted to us; they should be converting themselves the Lord and the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Through this little change of pace, I have found out that i
am a lot better at Tagalog than i have been giving myself credit for. I think i
became so used to Sister Gerardo answering all of the questions, and teaching
certain parts that i was too scared to, but sometimes Sister Salem (my new
companion) doesn't know their situation yet, so i have to answer their
questions..and i am doing it!
This week there was also a Christmas party at church! it was
really fun! I participated in a couple of the games...i ended up having to eat
Sampalok...its this really sour fruit similar to a lime or lemon only with a
hard shell that you eat..it was not my favorite..it was apparently really funny to watch though.
I also went on my first splits...that was a bit scarier. i
was with a couple sisters who didn't know english or the lessons...so i
essentially had to teach by myself...but with their added testimonies, it went
great! Anyway...that was my crazy week..This next week we have our Christmas
Conference! I'm really excited! I get to see Sister Nuku! and a couple other
people from my batch! We are singing Mary's Lullaby (not the one in the childrens
song book) and get to be emersed in the spirit! I am so excited!
Anyway...ooo on other news...the garbage man hasn't come in
over a week so we have a pile (hip high) of garbage...so thats good. ;)
these are pictures of me and my new kasama and my Nanay.
