Elsa and Anna Take the Philippines!

Sister Clark and I are out here trying to keep up with Kabankalan!! So many miracles again!!

This week we started teach 22! New people!!! What a crazy crazy miracle. I can feel heavens help so much and Heavenly Father really leading us to the elect and placing people in our path all the time! The only problem now is we have so many people to teach and so little time! Really putting "Use your time wisely" to the test. We're so so blessed.

This week we have Family Home Evening with the most fun family ever. They have 7 kids 14, 13, 11, 8, 6, 5, & 2. We made them a huge spaghetti dinner and also had lumpia and rice! We taught them about the importance of families and how the gospel blesses families. All the kids took a turn saying what they could do to strengthen their family. (Eat your vegetables came up a lot) it was the best. Two of their kids have accepted baptism so now we're just focusing on the parents! 

Also we had the greatest miracle! We were riding a big tricycle back from Calubang and I talked to the tricycle driver

the whole way and then the lady sitting across from me joined the conversation and we all became friends. The tricycle driver encouraged the lady to give me her contact information and her address so we could go visit her! (Non-member missionary work ahah!) So she gave us her phone number and explained where she lived and then she PAID for our ride! I was so shy that she paided. Then a few days later we went and visited her- Sister Nitnit and her granddaughter Syd. We taught them a powerful lesson about the Plan of Salvation. The spirit was so strong and at the end of the lesson they both accepted to follow the example of Jesus Christ through baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. And then! They came to church the next day and they both loved it and made tons of friends in the ward!! The relief society president and some youth are coming to the next lesson with us :) YAY! 

Also we taught a first lesson to a sister named Vanessa! And after the lesson she texted us and said Sisters I'm so blessed that we met! Please come back and visit my family anytime!!

This week was so precious. We really focused on talking to EVERYONE and so many miracles came of it! The Lord is with us!! 

I think I'm starting to understand this scripture. Missionary work really does make you exhausted haha but it's so worth it because of the great joy! I still lay on the floor every morning if anyone was wondering haha. 

Alma27:17 

"Now the joy of Ammon was so great even that he was full; yea, he was swallowed up in the joy of his God, even to the exhausting of his strength; and he fell again to the earth".  

I love you all so very much! Keep the faith!
