Week 69 "January 29, 2018"

Kailey did not send her group email, So I am posting the email that she sent to me (Her Mom)

Hi mom!!! I love you so much, I'm so sorry that I've been emailing so late lately. here in mindoro there are always fun things to do in the mornings. today we had a zone activity as a beach resort. it was tons of fun. mom I cant wait to hug you and to see you and to spend some time with you. I'm excited to live at home for a while. hahaha everyone keeps emailing me and telling me that college is so hard. lololol i cant even do simple math now. lol

That's perfect- march 18. sister pfau (the mission nurse and pres kosters sister) will be at my homecoming! I am so excited to go. and I'll for sure go to Kyra's homecoming. :) sis winkel understands hahah.

and I get hives i swear here on Sundays. its a branch that is hard to go to function. on Sunday the Bishop didn't show up -he had something in a different place to do- and then we were scared that no priesthood would show up. finally they did and then while the sacrament hymn was being sung, they weren't breaking the bread. we told them to and they told us that there is no bread. gratefully my kabahay thought to bring biscuits and so we had them break crackers for the bread. hahaha. but its good. I'm happy to be here, sand yeah its totally fine to play in the water here- but not past your garments hahah. SO FUN!!!! :) kawawa si kyra ;))

I cant wait to work for you. 37 days! I had one of my last interviews with pres.- just the pre-last one and he told me to work hard still but to start thinking about home. :)

Week 68 "January 22, 2018"

Kailey only sent pictures in her group email this week, so I'm going to post part of  the email she sent to me (Her Mom)

Life is good. I love it here, and I also can't wait to see you again. I love you so much, mom. <3

The apartment here is good. We love it. The only thing is that boys lived in it for years, so we had to do a LOT of cleaning. But now it's good. We have Spider-Man curtains which we LOVE, and there is actually a yard here. In all of my other houses, there is nothing. Just a few feet of space between the front door and the gate leading to the outside of the house... so this is a breath of fresh air. We also have cats (we live in a compound, next door to the couple missionary, and the owner of the house) they own like 5 cats and 3 dogs. One of the dogs is satan's dog I swear he's the worst, and the other 2 are so sweet. One of them looks like Winn-Dixie. I love that book. Also, do we have the movie 17 Miracles? If not, can we buy it and watch it when I get home? Sister Winkel's great grandparents' love story is in there. Shes the one that dreampt of the man or whatever. :)

Oh, and I LOVED your talk, mom. I wish I could have watched you give it. You should just give my homecoming talk. ;) hahah 

But no worries, in like 40 days or so, I will be home and I will fill the house with some noise. :) I cant wait. I love you so much mom!

I saved a couple of starfish from drowning... in air? Found em on the side of the road and put them back in the water.

 We worked in this man's rice fields today, but I didn't get pics. Its on another camera- buuuut here's the guy who made it all possible. Arnaldo. He'll be baptized by the elders next week!

 Oh, and this is my foster anak? lol I trained her for like 5 days- that still counts right?

Week 67 "PARADISE"

Okay.. so basically life rocks in the province. I told you all that I was getting transferred to MINDORO. It is paradise here. 

So we took a sweet boat here, and I actually got goosebumps.. IN THE PHILIPPINES. It was so cold. lol

And then we got to our area and I just cant explain it.. Coming from the city, this is heaven on earth- I CAN BREATHE. 

Buut then we got to the apartment (we are white washing the elders old area) so needless to say, we totally cleaned EVERYTHING hahaha. And then we saw that the area book was dated back to 2016, soooooo that's fun! We are just gonna start from scratch. And its working.

We've found an abundance of old investigators (basically if you live in Mindoro, some LDS missionaries have taught you before) and lots of LAs. So we've got some work to do!

Anyway. I love it here. My companion is Sister Desuyo (there are pics on the next email) and SHE IS AMAZING. I feel like she's training ME. Lol She's SO GOOD! She's mabait, masipug, maganda, matankad, magaling. LAHAT! Shes a killer chef and she makes us fish meals everyday and I may have found my favorite food. 

We were walking one day from the palenke, and we were searching for shark, but couldn't  find any. So we picked up like 2 different types, and she turns to me and goes, "Sister Mosher... We are collectors of fish." Lol our goal is to try all the types of fish before this transfers over.

SO GOOD!!! :')) 

What else? My kabahays are Sister Winkel (we go home together) and Sister Baulita (sister Winkel's trainee) MY favorite group of sisters ever! WE have SO MUCH FUN!

Anyway.. I love this. Sorry, I'm in heaven. 

I'll let you enjoy some pics now.

Week 66 "Hello Mindoro" - January 8, 2018

H! I'm super stoked because for my last transfer as a missionary, I will be spending my time teaching people on the beach.. Basically we will be beach bums for now. ;) 

Tomorrow I will be getting my new companion- I will be training again! Pangalawang anak ko. ;) And... I will be whitewashing my batch's area! (Thanks Elder Maez!) 

Nah, I'm so excited! This week, Sister Goundar is going home! It's super bitter sweet, she was the best. But I'm excited for her new adventures.

We didn't have a lot of time to do much tracting and finding this week because of transfers. As a Quirino STL, the extra missionaries are dropped off at your doorstep and then you end up with five extra companions and a ton of things to accomplish. But I guess that makes it all the more fun! Ha ha

But I hope all of you are doing well and I will shoot you some ocean pics next week. ;)) 

                                                     Cute Gospel Principles class!

                             We've got the same skirt.. ;) Last Sunday ko sa Quirino 1st ward

                                            The inside of a trike with the sunset :')

 My.... foster anak? (im just holding on to her until we find out who will be training her! Hopefully its me!)

                                                Farewell to me and Sister Goundar and I

Week 64 "Merry Christmas"

Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. 

Although its hot here, we had a WHITE Christmas, meaning that our sweet investigators all got to wear white- WE HELPED A FAMILY GET BAPTIZED ! IT was great. They all cried when they bore their testimony.. everyone cried, even bunso (the youngest 4yrs old) but she cried cause her 7yr old sis was teasing her. Ha ha. The spirit was super strong. I totally forgot my camera, otherwise I would send you super fun pics of them. :')
It was a good week. I don't know what else I was planning on telling you all. My mind is blank!

​I LOVE YOU ALL! MERRY CHRISTMAS​
