So she survived the biggest typhoon in 25 years to hit the area, What a relief.

Yep we pass Santa everyday haha we are pretty sure his name is Jefferson because we keep getting weird texts from someone named Jefferson and it's always after we have been in Ayusan Sur where this Santa is :p don't ask me how he got our number cause we have no idea.
Guess who is getting transferred!
NOT ME! haha I have my Americana for another 6 weeks and then I'm getting transferred.... The President told me yesterday.... so only 6 more weeks here .... :( Sad day! Iyak ako ngayon :(
No I don't know where I'll go yet but president told me and Sister __ that in 6 weeks our trainees are training and we are being transferred. But just think when that happens in November that would mean that i would have been in this area for 6 months!
(Now how often have you heard of a missionary staying in an area for 6 months?)
Then I asked her about if she has any up coming baptisms, and this is what she said: Yea hopefully on the 19th and 26th of October :) I wrote about them in a letter you will be getting hopefully in 3 days and one you will hopefully be getting in 10 days. Then later in her email she answered a question I had about one of her new investigators and this was her reply: He is doing great, he didn't come to church but we did teach him yesterday and he is doing wonderful :) OK if you can find a Mini Tagalog Book of Mormon that would be great causeI I can't lug mine around its too big. AAA batteries please and don't freak out but my medical ID bracelet is off :(I need a new band for it. She also mentioned this later in her email: ok so the famous thing here is called a Filipino squat its like the pose you do when you are playing catcher in a baseball game but this one is where you can't arch your foot and it is so hard to do, i see Filipinos doing this on a daily basis and i have been trying to master it for months! finally i did! i don't know if you should post these cause it shows alot of knee... but I'll take more i just want you to try this and have Cierra try it and anyone you can get your hands on cause it is tough! haha the famous Filipino squat~~  If you look a at the picture closely, if you look at the fan behind her, it looks like she has a bow in her hair. I think it is funny. Hope had a zone conference this week and she sent some pictures from it. Here they are~~~~         |
The smallest girl in the picture is a fellow shipper, and she just got her mission call to a place this is what Hope says about it: She lives here in the area, she is the best fellow shipper ever! well she is going on an actual mission but as she waited for her mission call she went on a short term mission for 6 weeks and soThe President just put her in my mission and I was so sad when she left cause I thought i would never see her again. right now though she is actually sister ___ she comes back to to our areatomorrow and then goes to the MTC for her mission on October 11. we worked with her sister __ the other day. She got called to serve in the Philippines I think its called Cagayan, Mindanao
Here are the last two pictures that she sent: Enjoy! And have a great week, Until next time. And Thanks so much for following our Missionary. May God Bless all of you and Keep you safe.
Hope this was so wonderful to read! Hey FYI - when I was on my mission 500 years ago, two areas, 6 months in each, almost 7, and 2 months in mission home with the Pres and his wifey when I broke my leg, knee, ankle and foot after falling down 101 steps (really - my comp and I counted them every single hot humid day!) up on the Great Barrier Reef. I remember tumbling down those steps about dying and wondering why I could not stop. Another story for another day. (hint - I was trying to protect a pie and camera!) Then my last area was 4 months so there went my mission just like that! But I would not have traded a day to have been anywhere else. I got caught in a cyclone on the Barrier Reef with my comp. She and I just hollered and hooted as she was from Idaho and I was from the Aussie Outback and neither of us had seen anything like that. Wind and rain like nothing. So glad you are well and safe and Hope, I can just imagine you laughing at the storm. That is what is so amazing about you. You laugh things off and do an amazing job at lifting all our spirits. Hey what a time you are having. Love the stories. Ah best time of your life girl happening right here, right now, this minute. Keep up the great work. You are awesome Hope Kenfield! Oops Sister Kenfield or however it is spelled in Tagalog .
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the pictures of Addie and all her companions! It was so much fun to see that. I copied and pasted onto Addie's blog. I am so grateful for you and especially your daughter. What a blessing!!
ReplyDeleteYou are most certainly welcome, it's my pleasure. I am glad that you pasted that pictures into Addies, that's where they need to be too. How did she like the typhoon that hit over there a couple of weeks ago?
