Transfers...STAY :)!!

Maayong buntag!!

This week was such a great week!  It definitely had it's disappointments, but what made it so great was how we were able to overcome them all.  We had so many investigators that we committed to baptism but because reasons here and there, we decided to focus on the truly serious and elect.  We have one investigator Jessica who has had unshakeable faith despite her family, especially her husband not giving her the support she wishes.  She was supposed to be baptized last Saturday but because Satan made it hard for her to attend church her fourth week, she was unable to continue.  We re-gave her a new date in 5 weeks so that she has time to strengthen her faith, and truly be converted through the trials that will come up.  We are wanting to work with her husband so that he can have a change of heart and that progress has already started.  Jessica was given an experience to share her testimony with him and that's just the planting of the seed.  Sis. Jessica has already started giving tithing and she's not even a member and it's strengthened her testimony ALREADY.  She testifies of the truthfulness and blessings that come from paying tithing as she has been blessed tremendously! 

We also have our recent convert Jay and his girlfriend Ronelyn that attended the YSA activity held with Pres. Lopez and others!  Pres. Pancito, our branch president, met with him and asked if he had the desire to get married in the temple and he then expressed a desire to serve because of your talk to them and Pres. Plaza.  They both have the desire and are looking forward to his one year mark to serve.  They then have the desire to attend the temple to get married.  I was so excited to watch their desire and even if we said you should get married, they wouldn't agree..that's how strong their faith and desire is! The light and excitement in his eyes is amazing!

We have had challenges with the branch missionaries in our branch , but through my personal studies I have understood how to overcome them and it all starts with my conduct and example as a missionary! We have changes to change here and I know that this extra transfer with Sis. Boncales is going to be a good one.  We will have been together for four transfers now because none of the sisters got transferred, but we have so many goals and things we want to accomplish.  We are so grateful for the companionship we have, one that is divine, that makes the things we want to accomplish possible because of the Spirit we have!

Attached is pictures of me and sister Boncales, because of the rain...you can just see what happened..we both ate it!
The other is a picture with the Branch missionaries and all them will want to add me on FB and for you guys to post it on FB for them to see! haha ..there's a reason why my face is like that..inside story!

I am so excited for Thanksgiving! ..even though it's not Celebrated but I will be eating Chicken in honor of it! take lots of pictures so that you can send them to me! Happy Thanksgiving to all! Stay safe and remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving! This week, I am thankful for my family, the gospel, and my testimony of this gospel and work! I know it's true and thank you for all the love and support and LETTERS...I've been nicknamed "Miss popular" by the mission because I am the missionary who receives the most mail, but its thanks to you all! Love you all! xo
