Don't Worry!

Okay everyone... Big news! I AM ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

So no big deal but I totally lived through a super typhoon as a missionary in the Philippines. So that's cool. oh man. The last few days have been crazy but don't worry I am just fine. Typhoon Ruby didn't hit my area all that bad and the worst part of the storm was probably the fact that we weren't allowed to go out and work and I was SO BORED.I am incapable of being lazy now. Like seriously.I just want to work and be busy all the time.

 It was cool though because on Sunday we got to go next door to our neighbor's for sacrament meeting. The dad is the CES coordinator and was authorized to have a sacrament meeting in his home. They had gathered together all the plastic cups they could find (in all different sizes) and used bread and water that they blessed and then used for the sacrament. The spirit was so strong and it was way cool because I felt like i was in the early days of the church back when there was only 20 members haha. Then we had some spiritual thoughts and then they served us lunch. Our neighbors,the Manahan's are the best. They have 5 boys and they always joke that they have adopted the sister missionaries as their daughters.  :) We had some nice special treatment during the storm though because my area is right by the mission office and home so the AP's delivered yummy home made meals from the mission president's wife to us. 

It was so weird because the "bagyo" was over us for about 24 hours but last night was the worst part of it. The rain was coming down so hard the sky was just white and there was zero visibility. Tapos, the wind was right above us and so loud that it made the whistling/screeching sound like tornado's do in the movies. We really were so blessed because our house and our lives were fine. I am not sure how my area is because we haven't really gone out yet but I got several texts from our investigators and members saying that their homes and  families were safe. I just want to thank everyone for all the prayers and fasts directed towards me and my beloved people here in the Philippines! I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and hears and answers our prayers and that he really protected us from this storm. 

I hope that you all continue to stay safe and know that I love you and pray for all of you always. 

Mahal na mahal ko kayo! Ingat kayo palagi.
