Kamusta kamo!!!???

It has been another really quick week here in Lapaz! It has also been another busy one, with transfer day and arrivals of new missionaries. It has also been a very fun and great week for our investigators. We were also able to watch all 4 sessions of general conference. It was a great general conference, man we are so blessed to be led and guided by a living prophet and apostles! 

This last tuesday was transfer day. And on Thursday was the arrival of the new missionaries. In our zone, there are 5 trainers so we got 5 new missionaries in our zone and 4 of them are americans. Everyone in our zone is training except us, our zone now consists of 9 sisters and 4 elders haha. very unique! 

This week was awesome as far as teaching and investigators, we were able to invite a lot to come to General conference and we had 7 investigators attend general conference. That is awesome experience for them to hear the living prophet. We had a great experience with one of our part member families, the one I mentioned last week, the Junsay family. They all attend General conference, we have had some awesome lessons with them and I am excited that they are progressing! A funny thing that happened with them was one of the sons wanted to attend church so he rode his motorcycle to what he thought was the church, went in, got some weird looks and decided that, that wasn't the church we explained, then went home picked up his family and they all eventually made it to attend general conference. haha!
Questions…

  1. How is the Gabawa family this week and are they ready for their baptism? So Sister Allieah and Jillean will be baptized this coming saturday!! We are still working with the father, he still has something that we are helping him with, but it is okay with him and his wife wants to set the example for him and then help him! So we are very excited for them!! I will for sure send pictures next week!
  2. What temple do the people in Iloilo attend?  It kindof looks like the new temple announced is close to where you are. People here always go to the Cebu temple. The new one is in the very south part of the Philippines. 
  3. Have you eaten anything crazy lately? Something that I really started to like recently is something they call isaw. Which is deep fried chicken intestine.. mmmm it is delicous! I also ate squid like a week ago!
 That should do it for this week! I love you all! GO UTES GO JAZZ!

Palangga ko kamo!
