CADIZ WEEK 1 Maayong gab-i Early morning on Thursday I finally got my cute, new companion, Sister Blakeslee. She's from Meridian, Idaho and I love how positive and ready she has been to get out, work and get this area up and running. I can describe our week in three words. FINDING, FINDING, and some more FINDING. It's been really fun getting to know so many new people, walking through random sugar cane fields, and at times not knowing at all where we were haha. It's been cool to see tiny miracles here and there as we've been out finding. We are out in the bukid gid, Which means our area is huge, and straight up sugar cane fields. We spend a good amount of our time just walking. Most of the time people in these areas are definitely not used to seeing two Americans walking around. We get quite a bit of attention, and at times when we started to teach, slowly we would get groups of people gathered around to listen. At the end of one, a sweet sister came up to me and said she had just moved from Manila to Cadiz. While she was in Manila, two Elders had found her and started to teach her. She was excited to see us, and for us to start teaching her again. Sugarcane fields EVERYWHERE in this new area! Em talked about the people that work so hard to make a living working in these fields. She said it is hard work in the very hot sun. Em and Sister Blakeslee walk for miles through these fields every day, and when they see a large clump of trees, they know that this is where they will find a little community within these vast field We also found one very promising family. I remember thinking when we first met them, that she was totally a member. The mothers name is Mary Anne. She is one of the most bubbly and talkative people ever, and she insists that I call her mama. They've practically adopted Sister Blakeslee and me as daughters. I love how willing and open they are to searching for truth. They want to do everything we ask them to do, and I have no doubt they will shortly come to know this church is true. At times this week, I would get feelings of being a little overwhelmed with so much dropped onto my shoulders, but it's made me put more trust and faith in God. I know that He will lead us to His elect. Halong kamo!Palangga ta kamo! Love, Sister Adams
