Kumusta Po Kayo,
Nalipat Po Kami sa lingo na ito! We moved house this week.
Really we moved house all in just one day but with the
exhaustion we felt it might as well have been the whole week.
It felt weird even taking out one day not to work not to proselyte
and share the gospel it's weird I really so much rather would
have been out teaching our investigators. You'd think I'd want
a day off but really even now teaching is what I LOVE the best.
It's what I came here to do and as I feel the spirit when we teach
I gain my strength to remain here in spite of the heat and trails
that come my way as a missionary in the Philippines! We
LOVE OUR NEW HOUSE! It is amazing its actually tempting
now that its all set up not to even leave its so clean! and because
its in a suburb area and their is shade its so lovely. Its cooler than
the new house because we got to buy a new electric fan one that is
not from the 1980's and that really helps. In terms of weather it is
still BOILING HOT! El Ninyo Daw ( they said). Hangang ( UNtill)
June Daw ( they said). It keeps on looking as if it will rain their are
DARK clouds and wind so strong its scares me I keep on saying
Sister Mag Bagio Ngyon Ba? A Bagio is the word they use for big
storms, for all storms really but you know when people say bagio
usually the mean SERIOUS rain. It hasn't happened yet and
Sister Soriano keeps on telling me she feels it will still be a long
time before the big storms, but really they are all very shocked.
All the Filipino's keep on saying how unnatural it is that the rain
should be here by now that usually in may it rains a lot, but still
I haven't seen much. Any ways back to the move. ON Thursday
in one day all our things went from the old house to the new.
We we're beyond touched with the help from the Elder's of our
Zone who by hand carried our four beds across a busy high way
for at least 45 minuets they carried our beds from one house to the
other no truck no car no nothing just sheer will power and the
strength of the Elders of Israel! We Our bishop also helped out
Strapping our huge desk to the roof of the tiny side car of his trike
with a rope and then I rode one the back of the motor bike part of
the trike and Sister Soriano inside the side car with all the desks to
show bishop where the new apartment was. It was hilarious and
I was laughing the whole time thinking IF ONLY my Mother could
see me now! Any ways we we're grateful for the help. IN terms of
the work this week we've been doing a lot of re-activation knowing
that we need to help the ward if we are ever to help our investigators
have fellow shipping. On Saturday we had again the help and support
of our humble and always willing bishop to go out and reach out to
some of our less actives who are very far away from the church
building. I saw some of the farther parts of our very large area.
We went to a place called Valley Cruze which has some of the
most beautiful parts of country side along side a LITERAL
Mountain of garbage that is smoking and burning 24/7. The best
news of the week is we have a baptismal interview set up for Sister
Edith this week and so she continues to progress towards her
baptism and Sister Soriano and I are so excited for her! That's
all for this week I can think of this post ended up being a lot longer
than I'd thought it would be! I have posted pictures of everything
I've spoken of here and more in my photo bucket LOADS of new
pic's this week all REALLY good check them out! I love you all and
I miss you!
Ingat Sa Lahat,
Pag Mahal Na SI SISTER QUINN
