Pamilya! Time is starting to go by faster which is nice. It feels like my training is taking forever! We had a training check up this week in San Pablo! I got to see all the missionaries from my batch at the MTC! I was so happy to see my old kasama! I missed Sister Burnham so much! We didnt have work that much this week either. We only had about 2-3 days of teaching. We had a zone meeting in cabuyoa again. Los Banos is traffic central so it takes forever to travel on the jeepneys. Also, saturday we went to San Pablo again for my trainer to visit the members there. She is leaving next week! So I am blessed to have 2 nanay's train me as a new missionary. I am not sure if I will have a pday next week...Just a heads up if you dont get an email, I'm not dead yet :) I might be in San Pablo the whole week again. My kasama will have a leaving training? mon-thursday...i really hope I can stay here, dahil, we have so many mga tao to magturo! We finally had a ward council meeting this week! It feels nice to be on the same page as our auxiliary leaders. We are going to have a ward family home evening on missionary work. And we will be giving a huge church tour where members can bring their friends. It will be a great way to get bago investigators! We found 8 new investigators this week and have 12 inves. on date for baptism. Every single day I am building my pananampalataya (faith) ni Cristo. I depend on Him with my life here. This is His work. I am trying my best to do it his way. Thomas S Monson said, "wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects our thinking. He expects our action. He expects our labors. He expects our testimonies. He expects our devotion". There is so much work to accomplish. I have to have pananampalatay araw araw that I will accomplish it. We had 2 very less active families come to church this week! YAH! I was so happy to see them! Also, we had one investigator come, Brother Kim! he is dating a member, Barbie. He told us he wanted to be baptized. Now we just have to teach him the doctrine! I love teaching the 1st lesson on the restoration. It is my favorite. My testimony grows each time I share it! And now I can recite the 1st vision in Tagalog! Yea! Everyone here laughs at my rain jaket...apparently they dont wear them. They always ask me, What country are you from? haha. We visit Sister Vergie and their family who are less active. She always calls me Sister Red. And when I wear different colors she calls me Sister Blue, Sister Yellow chuka black chuka pink. Haha its cute. Also! I rode on a trolley this week! It is on the train tracks and people push you down it! Crazy! Oh also I went to a pineapple farm! It was behind a members house in San Pablo!! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life!! I read this scrip the other day and loved it!!! DandC 138:56 We were prepared in heaven to come to this earth and become missionaries! We were taught the 1st lessons in heaven! Ang panunumbalik? Restoration? Missionary work didn't start here on earth, nor will it end her on earth! Mahal Kita! May the work of the Lord continue to go forth to all the nations! Love Sister Reed
