Lingo Tatlo Sa Field!!

     Kamusta!!! This past week had been a solid one. We found a few new people and played alot of basketball hahahaha


    One of the things I liked about the week was the home to home contacting! We found 8 new people! I still have to get over the feat of yelling TAO PO at people's houses over and over until they come out hahaha I still feel weird when I do it. I just gotta remember that's its a normal thing here.


   Another thing that was awesome was my improvement in understanding of  people speaking. Now I can usually understand everything people say! Unless it's a Nanay or Tatay (grandma or Grandpa) since they almost always have no teeth. If it's one of them then I'm lost and I just nod my head and smile.


    One miracle that happened with the Language, happened last night during our last lesson. My companion gave me the restoration and asked me to explain who jospeh smith was and what he did. I haven't said more than a few one liners in any lesson before this so I was pretty stressed about it. So I wrote down a bunch of stuff on a flash card and tried to memorize it throughout the day but stuff get coming up and I didn't really get a chance to look at it. I had maybe read over it like twice. When we got In front of a lady's house that we were teaching, I asked my companion if I could say a prayer that everything would go smoothly, so we did. As my companion was teaching I really had no clue how I was gonna do it. When my part came, all of a sudden my mind became clear and I could remember all of the words that I had written on the card. I said it almost word for word!!


    The past 2 days have been raining like crazyyyyy! And I guess it doesn't even matter if I use my umbrella or not since somehow I just get soaked anyways hahaha. Buttttt it's kind of nice because we'll just be soaking wet and people will feel bad and let us into their houses! And once we're in.......straight to lesson 1! Hahaha joke lang, but usually we do end up teaching them a little bit until the rain let's up.


Aight that's all for this week! 
I'll send isang ibang mensahe kasama mga pictures! Love Ya'll!


Peace

A Short One

Hey everyone!! Today's been a bit busy so I'm just going to give a little spiritual thought. Spiritual Thought  Helaman 14:31   31 He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.    I testify of the joy of daily restoration. Through repentance and the atonement of Jesus Christ, we can all choose to have the good restored unto us. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He loves me. And I know He loves each and every one of you. I love all of you! Peace Elder  Baker

    Kamusta sa inyo lahat?? How are ya'll doing?! Thanks to all of you who sent me a "get better soon" email! It was awesome to feel the support from across the world for real. Thanks to your guys's prayers, i'm back to normal! Buuuut even though I'm all good again, don't hesitate to send me an email if your heart so desires. I love reading them no matter the content hahaha the more random, the better the laugh I get. So feel free!! Anyways, my past week was great but very fullll! Lets get into it!     Tuesday we had Zone Conference which was 2 hours away. We had to wake up at 5 in the morning and ride in a jeepny. I was still somewhat sick on tuesday so that ride killed me. At Zone Con I actually felt pretty decent, which was a tender mercy 100%. We got a ride home from the APs which was so fun. They are a wild couple o' Elders haha. But I do look up to them a ton. They are studs.      Wednesday was so awesome. We were applying some of the things we l...
