We were asking Katrina questions here are her answers.
How do you feel about maybe becoming a Trainer?
I am ok with Training but i wish it was here in this area, because I know the people and the area and I am ok with being transferred. I am a little frustrated that i will be missing a baptism, but it is ok and yes it has happened that people train and get transferred actually it happens a lot in this mission because we are getting so many new people. So we open new areas.
Have you seen the stress management books yet?
No we haven't even seen the booklets. They have them and they were going to distribute them but the area 70 Elder Neilson was here so we couldn't. So ya. That is what president Ralhf told me. So nope. Transfers are on Dec 5 next week I will know by tomorrow if I am going to train or not and Wednesday is the new trainers training. We will see what happens. When you focus on Heavenly Father things just fall into place. It’s subtle but it’s oh surprise life is just a little better than before.
What are you doing about Thanksgiving, do they have Turkeys there?
I have a Thanksgiving at a member’s house that married a white guy from America they wanted to invite all the missionaries to have thanksgiving even though they don't celebrate it here. That was nice. YES they do have turkeys here! People raise them with their Chickens haha they are not natural here though like they are in America but they are still here as farm animals.
Who got baptized?
Melvin he is 13 and martin he is 9 we activated their mom and their grandma is our best friend (she reminds me of Denise so outgoing) they are sweet kids. Martin was afraid to get baptized because he was worried that would mean the missionaries would be done being his friends. hahah he’s cute
Have you got your Christmas package yet?
Yep can you believe that it is almost Christmas? And no i haven't gotten that package but i might on Wednesday or tomorrow. We have to go to Cauayan to get it and sometimes our zone leaders don't want to lug around big packages.
Taught a LA(less active) family (there drunk uncle interrupted with his loud testimony "I belong to the true one CHRURCH I know that God WATCHES ME) it was funny and we handled it well. They came to church on Sunday. The kids think i am cool. We worked with the members more. One of our investigators feels guilty he did not go to church but we said it was ok and try again. We have so many diner appointments this week because people know that i am leaving hahah. I was scared on Friday because a lesson went long and our phone died and we had no ride back to town and we were in the fields but a trycie came along that was delivering food and saved us.
Had a part member baptism Saturday and Sunday I realized how much I love these people and cried a little because this was my last baptism and I had to tell my other investigator that I would be transferring and that I couldn't see his baptism. He gave me the most distraught face ever. :I but he also gathered up all his English to tell me that "i have decided to Be a member of this simbahan(church) i don't know ano (what) my pamillia is doing pero I have decided" and then he jumped on his motorcycle and drove away to teach is sister in law how to drive a motorcycle. His baptism is on the 21 as well.
We had a family come that my last kasama gave up on but my new one loves them so much and they came. I was so happy the mom cried and i cried so i made her feel welcome by saying "hey we are in the same boat nanay" and their daughter told me she thought i was pretty cool. I think it was because their dunk uncle interrupted our lesson last time and i just went with the flow and we got him to bare his testimony and we told him that he can repent (i don't think he will remember that but still) and i think she expected me to be weirded out by him but i was like na if he wants to join the lesson he can. So that made me happy.
Have you adjusted to not using toilet paper?
hahah I still use toilet paper. I carry it around though everyday and I am smart to keep in memory all the places that have TP. hahah
Let you know what happens with training and transfers on Monday.
