Kamusta Kamo!! 

Wow another great week here in Nueva Valencia! This week was full of little miracles and blessings, as is every week, if you look for the blessings! Always focus on the good!

 I would like to share an experience with FHE: so this saturday we had a huge FHE at our investigators house (The Toledo Family). A lot of members from the branch came and we had a great time! We had a little lesson about familes, spiritual thought, and played some awesome filipino games! It was such a cool experience. OUr investigators and the members of the branch grew closer. As we talked about families, we talked about how we as a branch are a family, even though we are all very different and may not speak the same language (well at least i don't), we are united as a family because the spirit has no language. That is one of my favorite things, the language of the spirit if universal, even though i don't understand everything that people say and they probably don't understand what i say, the spirit is there! (2 nephi 33:1 is so powerful) We sang families can be together forever for the closing Hymn and the spirit was so strong. Although I am not with you guys right now, I know that we are an eternal family and I came on my mission to give that amazing feeling that Families can be together forever to others. That song maybe a primary song and a very simple song, but it is so powerful. I am grateful for the amazing family that I have! And I am grateful to be a part of this work to share the happiness we have with others. 

1.       What type of store do you purchase your groceries at?  Do they have like a grocery store? There are small grocery stores on Guimaras and we get our stuff there. We don't have to buy to many, because we get fed almost every night so that is awesome! But, in Iloilo city, which we go to once a month, they have grocery stores basically the same as the states. 
2.        Do you have much down time?  If so, what do you do in your down time? haha down time. We don't really have any. Well I guess if you consider the time everynight from 9 until 10, which is the time we just get ready for bed and I write in my journal. 
3.        Describe a typical P-day.  So far no 2 p-days have been alike. But a few things that we always do is; laundry (my least favorite thing to do), go to jordan to email and play basketball. 
4.        Do you see lot of schools around?  Do they have elementary, Jr. High and high schools? Actually yeah, I see so many schools around. They have all 3 types of schools elementary,jr, and High school. 

 Well, that should do it for this week. Should be an exciting email next week. We have zone conference tomorrow and the baptism on saturday and right after the baptism we have a branch activity. 

I love you all, thanks for the emails and everything! Have a good week!

Halong Kamo! 
Palangga ko kamo!
