soooo.... I ate CHICKEN INTESTINES THIS WEEK!!! I have a picture for proof!! But computer is being dumb so probably no pics... but next week maybe!!!
I don't have alot of time because the dang pictures broke my computer!! But I just wanted to share a quick story. So on Sundays we do exchanges and while on exchanges I'm with a member in our ward and then I become the senior companion... man it's pretty scary being the one in charge while teaching, but I also love it, it's soo fun!! I teach wayyy better too, because I actually have to be more focused and can't just rely on my comp to teach them!! But yesterday, we were teaching a less active during our exchanges and we were teaching about repentance!! And then at the end of the lesson we were talking about her coming back to church and she said she was just too lazy and stuff and then the weirdest thing happened... I started talking to her in almost perfect Tagalog ( k maybe not almost perfect, but really good) but while I was talking to her, I was feeling the spirit soo strong as a taught her and testified to her about attending church and the benefits and blessings of church, and I know she was feeling the spirit. I could see it in her face!! And after, she said ok ill do it!! Because earlier she said I'll try and then we said "dont try just do!!" And then she decided she would start coming back to church!! We'll see if she attends this week.. hopefully!!
Also funny story!! There's an American guy that lives like 30 minutes away from our apartment and I see him sometimes riding around on jeepneys and he always yells at me lol!! But today I saw him at a restaurant for lunch and he came and talked to me and said " hey I was thinking about you the other day, I really was! I was upstairs in my room praying and I started thinking about you!" (you know why he thought about me.. the spirit was reminding him of me so that we the missionaries could teach him the gospel!!) But after that he said " I wonder if I'll ever see him again and if I do I'm gonna talk to him!" Well, he did and we were just talking about where we were from and weirdly he has family in Scottsdale lol!! But after, I asked him if he would be interested in listening to our message! And well, he said no... but I know that we are supposed to teach him!! That's not just a coincidence that he thought about me while praying!! So next time I see him I'm gonna try to teach him!!
Time to go.. but I love you all... ALL OF YOU!! We might not talk but I see all the people that get this email and I literally love you all!! And your support, whether it's helping me or my family! I'm so grateful for it!! And everyone that reads this, if you see my mom this week you better give her a hug this week and tell her that her son in the PPINES loves her sooo much!! Because it's Thanksgiving week and I realized how much I didn't thank her for everything she did for me growing up so this will be my way of kinda making up for it!!
ps. "don't try just do!!" whatever your trying to do better in your life stop trying and just DO IT!!
pss. don't forget to pray! there is power in prayer! - did you think to pray hymn!
psss. if your having a bad day listen to or read some hymns!! They are amazing!! They help me alot!!

Don't forget to pray.
