Hey hey hey It's been another crazy week as in so crazy. Wednesday we had a mission wide deep cleaning day (my favorite thing in the world...not). We spent the whole day scrubbing, dusting and mopping. I'm pretty sure our house is the most disgusting sister house in the whole mission, so I wasn't too excited. Sister Ellis on the other hand acted like it was Christmas morning. Our lessons this week were Amazing. Sister Ellis and I teach and work so well together. I love her. On Thursday we taught Ramon all about Baptism. He has a Baptismal date for Feb 22 and is so excited. He continues to come to church and loves it. We also went to Angels. We hadn't gone over in nearly two weeks. The last time we had visited we challenged her to pray about a specific question she had, then read the Book of Mormon and see if it could answer that question. We wanted to see where she was at so we straight up asked if she believes The Church of Jesus Christ is true. With tears in her eyes she said, "Yes I know it's true." The Book of Mormon had answered one of her prayers. Now She has read all the way to 1 Nephi chapter 5. She loves telling us all about what she has read when we come. The Book of Mormon is such a powerful conversion tool. The struggle is, her dad won't even let her come to church now. Hopefully with time, his heart will soften. On Sunday John received the Aaronic Priesthood and their family showed up to Sacrament meeting before anyone else. Which is pretty impressive because filipinos have a hard time making it to things on time. I've loved being able to continue to see them grow. They're my little miracle. As of a couple days ago we are now living in Old Sagay with the other Sisters...so that deep cleaning day that I dreaded so much, went completely to waste. To make a long story short (please don't panic mom) Friday night, around 10:00 two mga lalaki (men) jumped our gates and tried to break into our house. President was so concerned that within 48 hours we moved to and now live in Old Sagay. Yesterday the AP's as well as some other office elders showed up at our house and we moved everything out. As in everything! I have to say it was pretty impressive, because we were able to fit two beds, two mattresses, a fridge, washer, three fans, four chairs, a microwave, two desks, as well as all of our suitcases and much more all onto one truck. This made it so we only had to take one trip up here to Old Sagay. For now, we will be staying here, but still working in Sagay until we find out more and President makes a decision on what will happen. Haha but don't worry we're all good and everything is great. I asked if the Old Sagay sisters house was better than hers, and she said, "Any house is nicer than ours, but the funny part is, I'm actually a little homesick for our house." I asked if she was sad about leaving the goat she feeds. She said, "yep I was sad to leave Steven and our toko (lizard) named Alfred who poops all over our sink." Palangga ta kamo!
