Kumusta Po Kayo Ang Pamiliya at Kaibigan Ko!
This week I've noticed The whitie is no more. I have the
most hilarious strap tan from my tracting shoes which
I'm certain will be permanate by the time i get home.
Also my hair is mostly blond now at least in the front.
My new secular adventure for the week was learning to
text sa tagalog. Yes we do have a mobile phone! It's
really more of a hindrance most of the times than a
blessing and I have to always remember to turn it off
for lessons! but its nice to be able to text bishop
which is who' I've been texting, we are only allowed
to text our leaders and other missionaries not members
or investigators. It's really cool sa tagalog though
and I've learned some of their short cuts like Ksta
For Kumusta ( which just means hello or how are you).
Another first this week is we found and started working
with a ward missionary. I didn't know we even had one but
we stumbled across sister daisy and she said oh ya I'm set
apart I'm your ward missionary! even though she is sort
of semi active she worked ALL day with us Saturday and
she is really great! Also I've started to notice that
most of the people we teach are related. Not just by
chance though because i swear everyone here is related
and they all live next door to their relatives. Like
this one family we are teaching after we finished
their lesson we decided to tract 2 or 3 houses down
the road and they turned out to be cousins of the family
we we're teaching but they did not know that their cousins
lived so close to them. And My big spiritual
realization for the week would have to be my new found
knowledge that sometimes God uses us to do miracles
even when it is really inconvenient. For example this
week we woke up at the crack of dawn and climbed down
into one of our poorest least safe neighborhoods to pick
up sister Michelle and help her get to church. I didn't
want to do it , especially because it meant walking all
the way from her house to the church since she's poor and
we are not supposed to pay to transport investigators,
but She has been investigating since October and this is
the first time she's agreed to go to church , so we did
it and she came and she loved it! I hope next week she
will be able to return on her own! But until then I'm
holding on to all the little miracles that happen here
almost every day!
I love you all, miss you !
Ingat sa lahat,
Sister Quinn
