6 months out!


hello!!! this week was tight. we had conference broadcasted here which was of course amazing!! it was pretty much just the missionaries at all the broadcasts except sunday morning... alas, still amazing. so that was most def the highlight of the week.
Other than that, we went on splits again yesterday (i always feel like splits are a test to see if i can make it on my own or if im still being trained...) it went fine but i definitely still have so much to learn! im trying to soak up all the knowledge from my comp right now before she goes home!!! and we're going on exchanges this week with another sister that's going home next week so that'll be fun to see someone else's teaching style. anyway tomorrow is sister abanggan's birthday! and district meeting, and mail day! so its pretty much guaranteed to be a party :)

 ps mail day is always a good day for me so.... go team! keep up the good work. thanks for all the support via mail :D 

We made a primary program this week! so you know how we teach some munchkins every week at CTR kids, right? right. so this week we went around to all their houses and recorded them saying little things that munchkins would say in a primary program like "i am thankful for my family" and then the branch president is putting it together in a video and we're inviting all the families to come watch it on the 27th!! it's all in english, which im kinda bummed about. cuz i feel like the parents would get more out of it if it was in tagalog. buuuut they all love to be on camera and are so excited to see themselves projected up on the wall!!!! so that'll be fun. anyway i bet the senior couple here will like put it on youtube or something, maybe i'll figure out how you guys can watch it and see all the people we're working with! plus all the sister missionaries here! if not, they're giving me a copy and you can watch it in a year!
 (ps, i just passed my 6 month mark with this april conference.... weeeiiiiird.)

ano pa..... i find out if im training this week! maybe tuesday or wednesday... and then trainer's training is on thursday if i am training... either way you guys wont find out till next tuesday! (our next p-day is tuesday, not monday, heads up.) kinda nervous about that cuz odds are i am training. like literally there is a 1 out of 9 chance i will not train. whatevs. i'll just spend a lot of time on my knees for the next three months!

if i do train though, i want to train sister jones 2.0 (for reals there is another sister jones coming in who is 19!!!!) so im just expecting her to be like the new and improved version of me and it would be hilarious to train her. cuz then i could be like alam ko po na anong sinabi ni... sister jones! ay totoo. (i know that what sister jones said is true) or ako po si sister jones at ito ay ang kasama ko... sister jones! cge. tapos na ako. tingan natin!!! 

ummm we set two more bap dates? not really that exciting cuz they haven't come to church yet buuuuut they're legit! they're from the family of suuuuper inactives that we found. the mom (who was the daughter back in the day they all got baptized) is leaving soon to work abroad and so she is so stoked we met her when we did! cuz we got a chance to teach her before she left, she's stoked about the gospel again, and wants us to keep teaching her kids when she leaves! (they're like 13-17 years old and way awesome) for reals finding that whole family was a super random miracle. which is tight. happens erry day for reals. the Church is true.

well, that's all she wrote! 
peace out kids. 
love,
sister jones

    They must be loving her! She is so upbeat and funny, I just love reading her letters.
    I hope she get's Sister Jones as her companion.
