Well as a start, my sister wanted me to work the word "pumpernickel" in an account of how my week went as a representative of Jesus Christ here in the Philippines. So I bothered to take the time to look up what a Pumpernickel was.
Maddy I can tell you right now that this week was a pretty heavy, dark, and lightly bittersweet week that in the end tasted good.
But the blessing of the Gospel is just sweet, sweeter, and can give you tonsillitis apparently :) hahahah CHARROT
But yeah so our area got flooded, a few landslides that caused a bit of problems with our investigators who were hoping to come to church today, and so on. To add to it all, We couldn't go out much because of the endless rain and storming here as well as me getting
1st: Tonsillitis
2nd: Pink Eye
3rd:
It all ended with two of our friends being baptized this last Sunday (or today for those of you still back at home) but it was amazing to see these two have their lives forever changed as they started on their path on the Gospel of Jesus Christ to eventually make it to the Celestial Kingdoms with their families :) (we still need to teach the tatays but they're still too scared to really talk to us or anything so we'll just keep on loving and loving them all)
but outside of that, I was super super happy to receive some happy and fun news that
1. Some people I was able to teach in Laoag finally got Married and baptized!
2. An RC of mine along with her grandma (who was baptized just a few weeks before I got here in the Philippines) back in Gattaran got to go through the temple for the first time!!!! I was low key kind of shocked but and may or may not have almost cried a bit hahahaha :')
That's all :) here's pictures!!
