Sorry! I don't have much time to write to day so i didn't really do any personal emails! :)
This week has been great...and realllly crazy....so. much. traveling. So traveling here isn't in a nice car with Air con...it's in a jeepney (look it up on google..) its like a big van but seats go along the side and what should fit like 6 people ends up fitting like 15 ppl on one side...and it's about 110+ degrees...it's great...a ton of opportunities to talk to people!
This week we got a visit from Elder and Sister Bowen. Elder Bowen is in the 70. We learned so much! We learned about loving one another, being one in teaching (members, companion, spirit), The importance of the Book of mormon, and from Elder Bowen, we learned about Who we are and how to act accordingly, false limitations and..uh...the Enduring to the end after the mission...aka 2nd mission. It was super powerful. It was a good reminder for me, that i am a daughter of a king. My divine heritage is important and i need to act accordingly now and in my future decisions. We also got 3 commitments to make our mission better! 1. Arise by 6:30 ( not wake up...be out of bed)   2. OYM (Open Your Mouth) and testify to at least 30 people a day ( normal is around 8 -10...)..  3. To take at least 30 to plan everynight.   I have a lot of faith we can do those things...we've only oym'd 30+ people once this week but i know it will get better!
I also had exchanges. It was great! it was with my ate (big sister) on the mission. It was really great. I learned a alot from her!
My investigator Daizy got baptized in Moncada this week!!! yay!
Sister Racheel here in Cabiao got baptized saterday!
I didn't know it was already father's day....Happy father's day! Special shoutout to Sean! Happy 1st Father's Day!
My companion got proposed to..yay..too bad she's still a missionary and doesn't really know the person that did it...
It's been flooding like CRAAAZZY. it's really gross when it floods because there are tonnnnns of dead frogs and rats on the roads, there's animal (and possibly human) ...uh bathroomy-ness all over the roads, and there's garbage....so when we walk, and there is no other way around the flood, who knows what I am walking through..

I played with a water buffalo this week..yay.
