Kamusta po Kayo,
Ano any tinagan mo? that is what is your name in ilikano that
right I have a new dialect I am learning! Here in Camiling I am
very much out in the country side and their dialect here is spoken
by many of the people. Although they ALL speak and understand
Tagalog they tend to use ilikano in more personal settings.
The sacrament prayer is usually said in ilikano and many people
bore their testimony in ilikano yesterday which was tough because
I still only understand about 10 percent of what they are saying.
I'm excited though to be learning a new language again I took some
pictures of the book of Mormon in Tagalog
(Ang Akalat Ni Mormon) and in ilikano ( Ti Libro ni Mormon)
and have uploaded these pictures on my photobucket along with
a lot of other pictures. I am really out in what they call the
Bukid ( rice fields) Dito ( here). We climb through fields of rice with
snakes and frogs and all kinds of things as we go out to our more
remote appointments. I feel like a missionary in the jungle for
the first time! This week I almost jumped for joy in the middle
of playing the sacrament hymn ( I am the new branch pianist the
Branch president has been praying for he says) When our brand
new investigator Sister Emily walked in with her 5 children
one YW age. They have only been taught for a week an all ready
they are coming to church sadly brother had work and did not
come, but I was really surprised that he listened and asked many
questions in our first lesson with them! I have never heard a
male ask so many questions so I am really excited for the
potential of this family. I can really feel when we are with them
that this humble family has been truly prepared and is ready
to accept the gospel.

We are so blessed here in this area to have so many members willing to
work with us and have also been blessed with many referrals from members.
I feel like we've really been doing smart missionary work as our branch
missionaries refer their cousins, other relatives and friends and then we have
gone to the appointment with them to teach the loved on or friend we have
found that we instantly gain the trust of the new investigator and that our
lessons are filled with the spirit of the lord
I love you all and miss you much!
Ingat sa Lahat, ti ya mo ( I love you In ilikano)
Sister Quinn
