I cannot say how true that is. It has just been too fast. I can't express exactly what I feel right now, I'm happy but sad, excited but nervous, eager but hesitant. However, I have to face the fact that I'm leaving the place that has changed my life tomorrow, but the Philippines will always be in my heart. I have to take this name tag off in just a couple days but it will forever be engraved on my heart. I'm going home a better person because of these eighteen months, because of these beautiful people, and because of the hand of the Lord.<br />

I've become a humble person. The situations these people are in have brought me to state of humility. They work all day just so they can have dinner for that night, and they are still the happiest people I have ever met. They don't even think about murmuring about their trials and hardships but they are thankful for them. I am changed.<br />
I've become a loving person. These people love you the second they met you and you feel like you are part of their family! I have learned that from them, to just love unceasingly, to love people enough to see their potential and past their weaknesses. Love is to be shared and expressed. I am changed.<br />

This time has been the best time for my life, I truly feel like I've walked with God. My spiritual eyes have been opened and I have seen Him and I have felt His love. I read a verse in my personal study yesterday that really comforted me, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." I don't know why I always compare my going home from the mission to dying but I guess its going to feel like the same thing hah but I just loved this verse. Not things present, nor things to come is going to separate Their love for each and everyone of us. Even though I'm sad to leave, these beautiful, wonderful people are children of God and He loves them so much and he will take care of them.<br />

Okay so I'm gonna tell you guys about my Christmas miracle. Her name is Katrina Erodias. I've told you guys about her before. She is very special to me. I know we knew each other in the pre-earth life and I was sent here for her. She was so prepared, like I don't even feel like we did anything. She is the smartest cookie. She bore a firm testimony of the restored gospel and I know she is going to become the most powerful servant of the Lord! I'm so honored to have been the missionary that was lead to her. Forky Aries from my fourth area, Sum-ag, is who introduced her to the church and gave her a Book of Mormon. She's just been waiting for us ever since, three long years. It's the best last baptism I could've asked for. Heavenly Father's love will not separate from us! "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that looseth his life for my sake shall find it." yup. Kbye Stay Fresh!!<br />

Weird no? For example, they don't have Christmas lights on their houses or decorations in their homes or big trees with ornaments or even snow.<br />

Most of them honestly don't even have money to have Christmas gifts so they don't even celebrate the holiday. It just breaks my heart. There is still so much to be thankful for and celebrate! This is the season to remember the birth of Jesus! He is the gift. The members here are the most inspirational people though! They truly get the meaning of Christmas and they just give all they can even when there is not much to give. They know that Jesus is the reason and the gospel is all that matters. I have been forever changed because of these eighteen months that I have spent here. <br />

So this week was just a wonderful week(: We had the baptism of Sister Bernaflor Bornes! When I first meet Sister Bernaflor I was so scared of her haha! She was short tempered and yelled at her kids when we were there and just a very serious woman. <br />

Although as we continued to visit this family she started to change. She is very patient now with her children, she expresses her love for them and doesn't yell anymore (well not as much cause you know, kids) The spirit is most definitely abiding in that home. Oh and she smiles and laughs at my jokes now(: She has been soften by the love of God. The gospel truly changes people for the better. Guys, she bore the most powerful testimony after her baptism. I shed some tears. Sister Bornes is an incredible woman! Her husband is a long time inactive that is starting to come back because of her example! The gospel is so true!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed the Christmas Devotional yesterday (were late to watch it cause we're a day ahead in time) Oh it rocked my world! I love David A Bednar and Dieter F Uchdorf! What really hit me is how they all talked about the light Jesus Christ brings into the world! He is the light and life of the world. I love all the signs he pointed out about Chirst, two days of light when he was born, three days of darkness when he died. <br />

Now in our day we put lights on our houses and on Christmas trees, in symbolism to His light. I never realized it(: It's beautiful. All light is from Jesus Christ, He came to be our light and He will always be that light because He lives and He loves us so much. What a wonderful season(: I love the pass along cards we have 'A Savior Is Born'. People see that light in us and feel it from our message(: We're so loved!! I love our Savior and the light He gives. I love the gospel! Stay fresh!<br />

It was a great week! I had my last zone training and my last fast Sunday, pasta there were lots of 'lasts' this week. It is so crazy how fast time goes by! I almost can't believe it and I don't want to. But I'm really enjoying the work more than ever(: guys its really the best being a missionary. I can't even express the joy it brings. One story:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fasting is a real thing. We're really fasting for our investigators right now cause everyone is just so hard hearted and won't progress! And yeah we saw miracles! Sister Katrina, I've told you guys about her before she is like the golden referral buuut she wouldn't accept the invitation to be baptized. She was just super hard. Like we always felt so prompted every visit with her to invite her to be baptized and every time she just wouldn't answer or tell us no. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But this Saturday we visited her and we didn't even bring up baptism, we were tired of broken hearts, but she said to us while we're eating our pamahaw "Sisters, I want to be baptized.... this Chirstmas.." I about choked on my mango juice! Sister Katrina is a Christmas miracle(: I love Christmas time so much. There is a different spirit in the air. Peoples hearts are softening(: We have these cute little pass along cards that we give out like candy to everyone we meet and we've found some potential investigators! This work is the greatest work in the world! I love being a missionary and I love the gospel! Bye stay fresh!!<br />

And Happy Thanksgiving!Mauna aga and Happy Thanksgiving! Well Thanksgiving is over in America but we are still having Thanksgiving here in the Philippines. They actually don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but its because they are so thankful everyday. They are the most humble and thankful people I know. I have been forever humbled and changed because of these people. I'm so grateful I was assigned in Bacolod to serve, the big guy up stairs really knows what He's doing.<br />

This week we had our zone conference and we got to train on humility, Heavenly Father is trying to teach me something here I think. There were three zones, 70 missionaries and I was so nervous. But guys, I don't throw up like last time!! Baby steps. It was a great meeting! Sister Loveday our senior sister worked with us! I was so nervous cause she only speaks and understands English, but it was so great! They all loved her and she loved it too(: She's like my lola of the mission and we're going to be best friends when she gets home(:<br />

So this week Sister Bornes was supposed to be baptized but a lot of stuff happened and it didn't go down. My heart literally broke and I got super discouraged. But cge lng, we won't dwell on it because later that week I read in Acts 9:16, "For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my names sake" Or when I read it "For I will shew Sister Schimbeck how great things she must suffer for my names sake." The apostles suffered so much when they preached the gospel, even death. So when I read that I just was like 'hey people aren't trying to kill me so I can do this.' Trials only make us stronger. But when we suffer it for the sake of preaching the gospel, Heavenly Father has got our backs(: I love being a missionary no matter how heart breaking it can be cause 'when you give your whole heart to inviting others to come unto Christ, your heart will change' <3 The gospel is so true! Halong and stay fresh!!<br />

<i>I totally forgot it was Thanksgiving!! I'm glad it was a good time and lots of good food(: I would've celebrated but I totally forgot. But we were still very thankful. Always thankful. Yesterday we visited an investigator and I was kind of annoyed because she didn't come to church again. But when she finally opened up to us she has so many problems. Her husband brings home 40 pesos (that's not even one dollar) everyday to support their family of 7. So she couldn't come to church because she had to go out and find money so she could feed her children. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

I just cried for her and bore testimony of the gospel and how perfect it is. We have plans now to help them out but at that time it just hit me so hard that they are so poor here. I am forever humbled because of the experiences I've had. They don't celebrate Thanksgiving here because they are thankful everyday. I know Heavenly Father loves his children in the Philippines so much, I can't even think about leaving them. But I know He will always take care of them(: it was a great week of realizations.</i><br />

This week was nothing extraordinary. But it was just so enjoyable! I've never loved the work more than I do right now! It's just super great(: I just wanna tell you guys a story but before I tell you that story I'm going to tell you another story, a back story. Okay so you guys remember almost one year ago when I got transferred from my first area Sagay? Yeah I remember too, I was so sad! It is my home of the mission. Everything I knew! I prayed like all the time that I would get the chance to go back to Sagay because I've always felt like I never did a good enough job when I was there. I really wanted to go back and make a real difference. I never felt like I made a difference in that area you know? But guess what guys? I got a letter this week(: from Sunshine Pasilan, Sagay first ward(: One of mine and Sister Cruz's baptisms in Sagay. And now I'm gonna tell you guys a little bit of what she wrote to me(: its cute and it made my day(:<br />

<b>"I was a tough investigator, I wasn't actually believing in the two of you at first, but as you kept teaching me my beliefs changed. I realized that all the things that you've been teaching me were right and true. And I couldn't be more grateful to be converted to the truthfulness of the gospel! <i>Thank you sister! You are a part of my changes,</i> because of your patience to wait until I understood it myself and for your help to understand me more, my lost soul is saved!"

Isn't that the nicest thing? It brought so much peace to me to know that even if Shine was the only person I was able to influence, that I actually did make a difference(: So that was the story. Where I'm going with this story is: you make a difference! Never think that you aren't good enough! Those thoughts are bad, bad thoughts!! We make a difference in everything we do. We may never realize the difference we've made or it may be one year latter but if we do as we should it will make a difference(: I love being a missionary so much! It is the best work in the world, the gospel is so true! The Book of Mormon is blue and Joseph is the Smith!! Stay fresh!! kbye.<br />

We went to The Ruins last pday with the Elders! I was so excited to finally go because its the first thing I saw when I searched Bacolod! It was a really cool place. It was a big mansion that they burned during war so the Japanize people couldn't take it over and use it and stuff. <br />

Transfer day! We didn't get a transfer call(: Sister Guanzon is going to kill me!! We're excited! So yeah this week was a good week and a sad week kinda. For three days Sister Guanzon was sick. So that was the sad part. But the good part is every other thing that happened(: Our meetings were so great this week! I love MLC. Its my favorite being with lots of missionaries at meetings cause the spirit is just so strong, unlike anything I've felt.<br />

Then our at our zone training me and Sister Pomee trained about The Good Shepherd you know the story from John 10. Its my favorite. Like it helps us to really understand how much He really does love us. He was willing to lay down His life for His sheep. I think thats the part that just gets me every time. He literally gave his life for us, no man could kill Him but He laid it down for us. He wears his love on His palms.<br />
<br />

But we didn't make it any priority to go find her cause we've received those kinds of texts before "they're so golden!" "they're so interested, baptize them!" but then you go out to find them with a hopefully heart you just to find that they actually aren't 'golden' or 'interested' they just hide. But we were punted one day so were like okay lets go find Katrina. But guys this time it was so different! She didn't hide!! She let us into her house and she was so happy! She's been waiting for missionaries to come to her house for three years! She has read the Book of Mormon and is just so prepared!! Heavenly Father is aware of us. He loves us so much! I love being a missionary guys! Its the most joyful work in the world! Yup. Bye stay fresh!!<br />

I repented for every time I complained of it being so hot here. So yeah you guys take care there and I'll enjoy the heat and humidity of the Philippines(: This week was just like a super normal week. I don't feel like I have anything to tell you guys, maybe just some memorable experiences I had this week!<br />

So me and Sister Guanzon went on splits this week! And me and my kaupod went to an area that is pretty far away and pretty poor. And I had to go pee so bad like I was gonna pee my pants guys I swear (I think my bladder is weakening from always holding my pee) so we go to a members house, Joseph (he just got home from his mission so keep in mind he knows foreigners and stuff) and I was like "Joseph do you have a bathroom?" (you have to ask cause sometimes they don't have a bathroom) and he was like "well, kinda..." and I was just like what does that even mean kinda? So then I was just like "its okay, bisan ano, I've just gotta pee." <br />

So I enter the 'bathroom' and its a bamboo porch over looking the river and high way in the distance and then the 'toilet' is a bucket. Yes you read that right, a bucket, a blue, little bucket! I was just like okay I'm already here so lets go! And when I was done and came back out they couldn't stop laughing! I guess its not normal for foreigners, they'll usually just be like its okay I can hold it. So yeah even sixteen months in the Philippines and I still have new experiences(: It was a blast. Sister Guanzon and I have been talking in English at the apartment cause she wants to be fluent, so I was like okay I'm down but guys I may be able to type to you in English but when I try to speak it, its hard. She's asked this week about meanings of words and expressions in English like what does "once upon a time" mean? And when to use understand and understood? What does dangit mean? English is really hard guys, I don't know how to explain our language. I just say its okay sister just follow the spirit. ahaha(:<br />
<br />
We had Stake Conference this week and Elder Pangan of the seventy spoke to us! He was so funny and spiritual! I really loved his fable about the pig and the chicken. Okay so there was a man and he was really hungry, like he was going to die of hunger. So the chicken is like "pig lets cook him a really nice breakfast! A big big breakfast so he won't starve!" And pig was like "yeah lets help him!" And chicken was like "okay so we'll cook him eggs and ham!"......Let that sink in EGGS and HAM. <br />

The pig was like okay so this is just a half commitment from you chicken but it will be a total commitment from me. The moral I got from this fable is we can't be just half committed to our missions, or guess if we aren't missionaries, we can't be half committed to the gospel. We have to be totally committed. We've got to be pigs!! I know when we commit ourselves to Heavenly Father, He will bless us. We may not see it instantly but the blessings will be eternal! I love being a missionary so much and I love the gospel, its so true!! yup. Stay Fresh!!<br />

Hi guys! This week was just good. The Lord is so aware of his missionaries and the prayers for them. So I told you guys these people of Talisay are different than your average Filipinos, but I still love them! So you guys just celebrated Haloween in your american way. Watching scary movies and having parties and going to haunted houses and trick-or-treating and all that Halloween stuff. But here in the Philippines they don't celebrate Halloween, its all about All Souls Day. <br />

They spend the whole day at the cemetery with their loved ones that have passed away and then they go house to house dressed up (kind of they just have their faces painted) with plates saying 'mangalag ngalag kami' or 'we're ghosts' and then they put food on their plates. Isn't that cute? I love this place more and more everyday! I love serving the people here. I'm so blessed to be a missionary in Bacolod. I know the gospel is true! K bye stay fresh!<br />

This week was just so full of wonderful blessings and tender mercies(: I went on exchanges and I love exchanges but this time when I came home I was sick because of all the travels (tricycle rides are brutal guys) it was all those awful feelings from the cold, head and body aches, stuffy nose, and just super tired so you could say I wasn't too excited to work. <br />

But I'm here to work so I went out everyday feeling like death and I just was numbed. Like I could work all day and I felt great! But then I'd come home at night and feel like death again until the morning again but guess what when I got out to work, IT GOES AWAY! The atonement is so real I testify. I felt succored and lifted up by the atonement of Jesus Christ. We're so blessed as missionaries! So many miracles we get to witness everyday! We have an investigator, Sister Mael, and she is awesome! We're just getting her birth certificate to be fixed so she can get married. She always shares from her Book of Mormon reading when we visit and she made her own quote for Mosiah 7:33 "A complete heart is sensitive to Gods will and motivated by a strong desire to serve Him obediently" Te isn't she awesome?!<br />

I love that quote. I feel like my heart has had this change that Mael described. I'm so thankful I was called to serve here in the Bacolod mission, Talisay area. I love being a missionary so much. Ammon described exactly how I feel in Alma 17:23 "I desire to dwell among this people for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die." I know he felt that way because of the joy he felt from this work! The gospel is so true! yup. K stay fresh bye!!<br />

So this week just went by so fast! It really freaks me out how fast time goes by. But I'm just so thankful for Sister Quanzon guys, she is just the companion I need right now. In every way possible. We have fun together too!! She told me this week <br />

"I feel like I'm with a celebrity when we're out proselyting and it makes me feel like a celebrity too!" haha(: I'm her first american companion so t's different for her haha. But really almost every day someone has asked me if they can take a picture with me, someone kissed me (its a long story but its not what it sounds like I promise) and then one of our investigators collects my hair fall I leave at his house (guys I'm going to come home bald :/ ) So yeah its just so much different here in Talisay! Haha but I love it here, it feels like Sagay(:<br />
<br />
So I want to share with you all this awesome article I read in the Liahona. It rocked my missionary world. So its by Dieter F Uchtdorf first off so you know its good. And its about this relay race called lampadermia and the prize is not the fastest to finish but who ever reaches the finish with their torch still lit. And I was like oh boy is this talk for me. Everyone keeps telling me "Sister Schimbeck your close to the end now, sprint to the finish!"<br />

Yeah. So when I read this talk it doesn't matter if I sprint to the finish its still coming on the same date, if I walk or if I sprint. "While it is important to start the race, it is even more important that we finish with our torch still lit." That's what I love about this race its not a sprint, its a marathon. "Its human nature to stumble, fail and sometimes want to drop out of the race. But as disciples of Jesus Christ, we have committed not only to begin the race but also to finish it- and finish it with our torch still burning brightly." This wasn't written for missionaries but I felt like it was. We commit to this 18 month race and we got to finish it, with that torch! Ah I love it. And what I realized at the end of this talk is that the torch isn't even about me or what I do these 18 months. Its about my Savior. He is the torch, He is the light and life of the world!! And He is the light and life of my world so yeah Dieter F Uchtdorf is the man. <br />

General Conference was so great! Thank you for not spoiling who the new apostles were going to be last week(: I truly felt their power and I sustain them!! I know the Lord can do His work through the weak and simple, that's why He isn't afraid to send out teenagers to preach His gospel!! I loved all the talks, but the thing that stuck out to me most was how almost every speaker talked about the holy ghost! I loved when Henry B Eyring said "the moment we receive the holy ghost our lives are changed forever" I've seen the truthfulness of that statement here on my mission! But for me myself, my life was changed the time I learned how the holy ghost speaks to me.<br />

Even though I've had the gift of the holy ghost for 7 years I didn't know how it worked. Like its so simple actually. I loved Larry R Lawerence's talk, he gave some very real and simple ways the holy ghost works with us!<br />
<br />
This week was the baptism of Angelo(: he's 12 years old. When I saw we'd have a baptism I didn't feel like it would be my baptism, I wasn't here to teach him from the beginning. But the whole one week I was here I saw so much of his conversion take place. Everyday his prayer became more meaningful and as we reviewed the baptism interview questions I saw his understanding grow!! The day he was baptized he was glowing and he bore the most powerful and simple testimony.<br />

I cried a little cause I realized I was apart of his conversion process and I still will be as we reteach him again(: he's twelve and he doesn't understand everything yet but 'learn wisdom in thy youth' his decision will bless his life forever cause he is learning in his youth!! The gospel is true! I love being a missionary!! K bye, stay fresh(:<br />

I've been transferred to Talisay Ward! With Sister Guanzon. She is 23 and she is from Bicol, Philippines! She's been here since June! I knew her was I was in Sum-ag. We actually went on exchanges when I was STL and she is really great so I'm excited! Our area is really great too, I guess.<br />
<br />
I was super sad to leave the people of Sum-ag and Sister Cansanay but it was time for a change. It was really hard pretty much knowing I was going to transfer. Like I'm pretty sure I felt like how a girlfriends feels when she is going to break up with her abusive boyfriend. Like you love him and you work really hard so it will be good and you can progress but then he just breaks your heart and stuff. That could maybe be a bad example but thats what it felt like. I love Sum-ag and those people but it was abusive to my poor heart. One thing that was cool this week, I taught Sister Cansanay how to 'door bell ditch'. We have one area where some recent converts live and its a really fancy subdivision. They actually have door bells usually we just yell TUGBALAY. <br />

So yeah I was like okay Sister Cansanay I'm going to show you what I used to do for fun back in the days. So I rang the doorbell and ran to hide and she's like what are you doing? Yeah she didn't get it. But it was fun! I wish I could send all our pictures of this week(: but I don't know how computers work. One super cool experience that happened this week is one I'm going to share right, So Sister Virgiana (the one who backed out of baptism) finally let us teach her again!! She never gives us the time so finally she did because I was very persuasive and charming. And we shared about temples. Just the most simple truths and our testimonies. The spirit was there and he was talking and testifying to Virgiana. She was so touched cause he husband has passed away now. Yeah we all just cried at the end of the lesson. I know she will be baptized someday. Heavenly Father loves her so much. I will miss her and all those I meet in Sum-ag. I'm a missionary with stronger faith because of that area and I'm so grateful for those six months(: yup. K stay fresh guys!!<br />

So this week I realized I've been here for 6 months now. That's like a really long time. But this week was good. I can honestly tell you that! Mostly cause of my super awesome companion. She's perfect. We just decided we'll just do our very best but have fun too. Cause no one likes stress. And we had one of our best weeks(: the Lord blessed us cause we just gave it all to Him! We stopped doing it our way and let Him do His work.<br />
<br />
So it rained all week this week we have one area that just gets so crazy muddy!! And when we were walking I found a sink spot, as soon as I stepped in this puddle I sunk down to my knees!! Like sinking sand is a real thing. I almost did it again just so I could get a picture but it felt gross so I was like nah. So do you guys know that movie Despicable Me? Of course you do cause that movie is the best! But I forgot about it until we met this man and he like to talk to me in English cause I'm American and stuff and he sounds just like Gru!! (I think thats his name basta the main character guy) or it made my day!!<br />
<br />
We continue to see tender mercies and miracles everyday! This work is the best work in the world. I love being a missionary. I love the gospel. And I love my Savior!! K stay fresh bye!<br />
<br />
Part of Sister Schimbeck's letter to her dad:<br />
<br />
So this week we teaching the 10 commandments to a RC and when we shared about Thou shalt not steal I felt prompted to share about when we lived in Central and you found a womans wallet out on the side of the road and you contacted her to return it and when you gave back to her with all her money and everything still in it she was so so happy and tried to give you a reward for being so honest and not taking her money. I've never forgot about this experience even though it was so long ago, I thought my dad is so cool and now being older I can see how Christlike you are and that act was!! It was exactly what the RC needed and it was so cool because he has a problem of pocket picking so I just wanted to tell you thank you for the example you showed to me and for this RC! I love you so much and miss you always. Have a great week!<br />

So a sister told me in my first area "Sister Schimbeck, your last few months in the mission will be the hardest months of your mission" and I was just like why the heck did you just tell me that? That's not what I want to hear! But I didn't believe her I was like no way Jose! 1. I will know that language and be able to understand and 2. I will be a gospel genius. But it turns out, she was right. <br />

Despite that I can speak and understand now there are still so many challenges. But that's just how much Heavenly Father loves me! He only does it to make me stronger. Haha but really me and Sister Cansanay have just been keeping a positive attitude and enjoying our companionship(: we just eat food when we start to get sad! Haha so my favorite part about this week was when we were reading in our 12 week training program book about what she would take lead in for that week. And she read, "the new missionary will take lead in teaching the commandments.....hey I'm not a new missionary!" I'M NOT A NEW MISSIONARY! That was sweet music to my ears. All I wanted for Sister Cansanay in her first 12 weeks was to have confidence in herself and when those words came out of her mouth joy just filled my heart. <br />

We may not have weekly baptisms but she has confidence in herself and I feel like a successful trainer(: oh the tender mercies. I'll be forever grateful for them! Like we got 3 referrals yesterday and had investigators at church so I'm just super content right now. The mission is the hardest thing that I've ever loved! The gospel is true. Stay Fresh!<br />

No matter how hard or discouraging or exhausting or heart breaking this work is, its the best. I'll never be able to explain how but its so true.<br />
<br />
I just want to share one experience I had this week reading in the Bible (guys I love the bible, it is true) I was reading in Luke 22, which you guys know, is about the atonement of Jesus Christ but the cool part is is when we went to follow up training the next day and the AP started his training off with this picture that is attached, Agony in Gethsemane,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and he testified that we have angels ministering to us if we form our will to the Fathers. And I cried a little bit a won't lie. Because that picture went perfectly with words I just read the day before in Luke, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from Heaven, strengthen him." So beautiful, right? It calmed my stressed out soul. I too testify that we have angels ministering to us and strengthening us in our times of need, of course, as we form our will to his. I just love this picture. It has changed my look on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. He loves us. He will never leave us alone, even if we may feel like it. He never sends trials that we cannot overcome. "Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us..." I know the enabling power of the Atonement is real. I've witnessed it. <br />

This week was honestly awful. Haha. Everything that could've gone wrong did. Like do you guys remember Sister Virgiana that I've been bragging about? She backed out of her baptism. We lost most of our progressing investigators. And I could go on about the bad things. But thats not what matters. <br />

I love what President Barredo says 'learn from the past, live in the present and look to the future.' That is his motto! He always repeats it. But its perfect no? I think we'd be some very depressed people if we just thought about the past. My favorite thing we do every night is when we come home is to pray and give thanks for the trials but then to focus on the tender mercies Heavenly Father has given us that day. It just turns the bad days around(:<br />
<br />
So do you guys remember about a year ago now when I likened companionships to marriageship? And how I said I'd marry Sister Cruz because of all her wonderful attributes? Yeah well I'd marry Sister Cansanay too.<br />

She is such a great companion to me! She makes me want to do better and keeps me positive. Sometimes I feel like she's training me. She's such a good missionary and person! I read a verse this week, Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them." So I was familiar with this verse before. But it was so different reading it this time. I know that no matter what Sister Cansanay and I go through in this area we are not alone. We are gathered together in His name and He is with us! I could not do this work if I had to rely on my own strength. I know this is His work and we are only but tools is His hands. I love being a missionary! Remember, there are latter day saints and there are latter day aints. Stay fresh guys!<br />

So this week was your basic week when you try to follow up on OYMs, none of them were interested. Yeah that's usually how it goes sadly. But our miracle, Virgiana is progressing gd! She will be baptized on September 12, can you tell I'm excited? Shes my lola here(: like she reminds me of my lola Schimbeck and my lola Sommer(: you know what I loved about this week though? Sister Cansanay. No matter how hard it was she kept me so strong. She is such a positive person! Ah I love her. Like sometimes I'll be like okay Sister we need to find some of these inactive members (and I say it in a not very excited tone because its hard) and she says "alright, we'll find nemo!" haha shes so weird. But I love her.<br />

STORY TIME: so every morning Sister Cansanay and I will do our morning exercise (usually just laying on the floor pretending to do crunches) but one morning we felt like going on a walk, so we started our walk and we were like yeah this is nice. It wasn't hot and the dogs were asleep so yeah, super peaceful. Then we were approaching this house and there was a lady struggling to pull weeds in her yard. So we stopped and talked to her for a minute and then asked her if we could help. She hesitated and said no at first, Filipinos like to do things themselves, but then agreed to let us help. So I hate pulling weeds. That's one chore at the house that I just avoided. But as I saw this woman struggling to pull a few weeds I remembered a chapter I read just the other day during my personal study. Matthew 25 the parable of the sheep and the goats. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" That verse really hit me when I read it just a day ago so as I remembered it walking up to her it was not a chore for me to offer help, I was serving my sister and my God. And I've never enjoyed such a service.<br />

Not to mention the wonderful promise "come ye, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." We are called to serve, and that service can take so many forms. This woman wasn't interested in our message but I know she was touched by our service and maybe someday she will accept it. All that matters is that we serve. Serve with all our heart, might, mind and strength. I love being a missionary. This mission has been the hardest thing I've ever loved. The gospel is so true! Yup. Bye stay fresh!<br />

This week we had Mission Tour! Elder Bowen from the seventy and the first counselor of the Philippines area came to train us. The power that is with those brethren will always amaze me. He had such a wonderful spirit. He gave us wonderful trainings on mission life and after the mission life. Sometimes I forget that there is life after the mission haha. But it was great(: This Sunday August 23 was the baptism of Mercy Grace(: my first baptism in the field! It feels like it wasn't that long ago but its been a year now.<br />

Grabe. I love reading from my past journal entries! I'm really funny guys. But I also wrote a lot about how hard it was, not knowing how to speak the language, not understanding anything, walking miles a day. And its still just as hard one year later. Different challenges of course. But isn't that just life? Yeah, life's crazy. Story time, so this week we got on the jeepney to head home and this mother got on with her child and she just stared at me. It used to bug me but now its not a huge deal. So I started a conversation with her because they love that and she was asking me all these questions about what make up I wear ( I don't wear any) what soap I use (safe guard) what vitamins or minerals I take (centrum) and then I was just like Sister why? And she says to me, "you look different than normal people, you glow and I can't figure out why." This lady melts my heart guys. I was sweaty and had some pimples on my face and she told me I was glowing. I know its because of the gospel(: its changed my life.<br />
<br />
I want to share with you guys something I learned this week kay? Its cool. So I was reading in Luke 23. Pondering on the Atonement. Jesus shows so much love and obedience to me in this chapter."If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." He most certainly could've saved Himself. But He didn't. <br />

He finished His mission for us. And then He promised those criminals a place in His fathers kingdom! Now this is the cool part that I'm still trying to understand, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." Men could not kill our Savior. He literally gave His spirit up to death. For us. Is that not just the most beautiful act of obedience and love? He loves us so much that I can never comprehend it. But I know He lives and because of Him we can return to our Father in Heaven and receive eternal life. I love being a missionary and teaching this truth to all that I meet! Yeah. Stay Fresh guys, bye.<br />

I was reading my journal this week, August 2014, when I first got to the mission field. Its so crazy how used to the Philippines I am now. Like remember when I wrote about washing my laundry by hand for like 3 hours? Or the chickens running around during lessons? Oh or about showering with a bucket? Or the noisy sacrament meetings? Yeah, those things don't even phase me anymore. But I'll never get over that we don't have microwaves here.<br />

So in our mission we're really focusing on OYM (open your mouth). I've never been a fan of OYMing like I'll OYM if they approach me and stuff but usually I'm like nope I've got a schedule to stick to. How wrong was I. We have a purpose as missionaries "to invite others to come unto Christ" when I remembered that I was like Sister Schimbeck how are you going to invite others to come unto Christ if you don't open your mouth and talk with everyone!! That is what makes us a successful missionary, I don't care how many baptisms a person gets on their mission. What matters is we invite everyone to come unto Christ(: Like we have a investigator right now Sister Virgiana who we OYMed and she has been to church two times now and is keeping all her commitments! Heavenly Father is preparing His children for us to find everyday! <br />

She tells us every visit how grateful she is that we found her because now she knows that she can see her husband again (he died). We have such a beautiful message of hope, how could we just keep that to ourselves? I'm so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father is always showing me that if we trust in Him He will guide us! "O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh.." I love this verse. It helps me remember that we have to forget about ourselves and trust in Him. We will always win if we do! I love being a missionary! Stay Fresh, bye.<br />

So I remembered way back in the day when I hated Mondays, like I never wanted Monday to come. But now its my favorite day. Funny huh? Yeah so nothing new this week. There was another typhoon, you know just like any other week. But this typhoon was the first typhoon ni Sister Cansanay on her mission. Typhoons are like super rough so I didn't know how it was going to be but she totally loved it. She was singing Master the Tempest is raging and wanted pictures in all the floods. Haha(: <br />

I'm so grateful for her. I hate working in typhoons but she made it so enjoyable(: Me and Sister Cansanay have a lot of fun together. This week in our training we watched these Preach My Gospel videos and they are just so cheesy. Haha we just make fun of them the whole time! Hahah we're like the same person.<br />
<br />
I was reading the August Liahona. I was reading the first presidency's message by President Thomas S. Monson, ' Stand as a Light' and also the backside section for the youth 'Beacon of Light' (or something like that, I'm forgetful) but my point in why I'm telling you about these articles is because the pictures they used are of Filipino children(: Yeah when talking about children of light and being beacons of light they used pictures of the happiest people I know.

They have every reason to be sad but are so full of joy. My view of life is changed forever because of these people and their contagious smiles(:<br />

I want to share with you guys what I read in 2 Nephi 21 this morning. It was a beautiful personal study(: this chapter is about Jesus Christ and the house of Israel. And they are like super wicked right now and when the Lord could not bless them anymore because of their disobedience and stuff they were like the Lord hath forsaken and forgotten us. But the Lord was like no way, I'm aware of you guys! "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." That verse hit me so hard. I'd hate to admit it but I've had times in my mission where I've asked those same questions and felt the same way."Yea, they forget, yet will I not forget thee, o house of Israel" Its only us that forget. He knows each and every one of us. Our wants, our desires, our challenges, our concerns, and He will always be there waiting for us to find Him. I know He wears His love for us on His palms. Such a beautiful act of love that I'm still trying to understand fully. I love my Savior and I'm so grateful for the help He offers to us everyday. Yeah well I just love being a missionary with all my heart! Halong! Stay Fresh! <br />

So super great week this week!! It went by so fast. All I remember that Heavenly Father loves us and blessed us with some new investigators that are prime(: I just got to tell you all that the restoration is the most perfect and correct doctrine. I love teaching about the restoration. We met a super hard headed iglesia ni cristo. He has so many arguments and questions that we were like hey brother, we have the answer for you if you'd give us some time to talk. So he stopped his talking about we taught him the beautiful message of the restoration and he was so touched, still hard headed but I know he felt the truth. Its the most perfect message.<br />

So the adventure of training never ends. They have this saying in Tagalog that Sister Cansanay always uses and I just didn't understand it. One day she used it again when we were riding a tricycle and when she uses this Tagalog expression it literally translates to "the air is so delicious!" so yeah I'm like Sister how is the air delicious? And she spend the rest of the day trying to explain this expression to me haha I still don't get it but I use it all the time "ah sarap ang hangin!" So I just want to tell you all about Sister Melissa. She is my most favorite ever. She is my best friend from the spirit world we decided. And she has struggled with prayer for a long time now! Haha its funny actually cause we'll review how to pray and she gives such a good prayer and then leaves it in the name of the holy ghost!! She's always like ah no thats wrong, again and then prays again. One day she started her prayer Heavenly Father, thank your fo.....oh sorry good evening first, thank you for this time.." hahah it died laughing!! She's just so funny. I love this place.<br />

This Sunday we had the baptism of Brother Drexs(: hes 18 years old just working at an auto shop next to a members home. When we first met Drexs he always had a cigarette in hand, earrings, and wouldn't smile. He was just a very hard person. It was such an awesome experience to watch him change over time. He struggled to overcome his smoking but found power in the Libro Ni Mormon to stop. He smiles and laughs now(: he has had a mighty change of heart. He about cried giving his testimony after his baptism. He was so grateful that he has a new start. I love this gospel so much. I know it is the only true gospel. I love being a missionary too! And yeah tapos na, bye stay fresh!!<br />

But we also don't say good evening in America so that was probably is just weird. Anyways, super great week this week! Sister Cansanay is killing it. Like she's training me, I'm not training her. She has so much knowledge of missionary work, from when she was ward missionary in her home ward, that she has brought to our ward! Like I didn't even know what a ward council was before my mission. <br />

So teaching her Hiligaynon is always an adventure like this week she asked me what 'ambot' means (Hiligaynon for I don't know) and I'd tell her I don't know and then she'd look at me like she was waiting for more but I thought I answered her question so I just continue doing my thing and then a little later she asks me "Sister whats ambot?" "I don't know" and this went on for the rest of the day until I finally figured out that she just thought I didn't know what ambot meant! She has so much patience with me hahaha!<br />

This week an investigator we're teaching, Sister Melissa, shared with us how her BOM reading was in between our visits and she shared Moroni 7:29-31, "have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men...to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord." She got choked up after she read these verses to us and all she could get out was that we were her angels sent to minister to her and she was so thankful. <br />

You can bet I cried, cause I'm an emotional baby. I know that Melissa is a 'choosen vessel' she has accepted our message and Jesus Christ in her life and now her life has been changed. Miracles do not cease, they'e so real. I love this opportunity to minister to these people, its such a joy! I know we are only instruments in the Lords hands as we witness His work.

So my new companion is Sister Cansanay from Laguna!! She's 23 years old and just the cutest thing. I love her so much already. Like I now get why when you're training the trainee is your 'anak' (or 'child' in English) because if I had a child I would love them like I love Sister Cansanay.<br />

She is straight Tagalog speaking and couldn't understand one word these people were speaking to her. Its actually really funny cause they talk to her and then she'll just look to me and I answer them, they're like what the heck the american is the one who understands? Its funny but you know I've been so blessed as a trainer because Sister Cansanay is the best trainee. She is learning the language so fast, is already great at teaching, and is such a hard worker! I can truly say that I love training, its hard but I still love it(: Its such an adventure. Like we came home Thursday and we didn't have power, no lights, no electric fan, yeah.. (until now we still don't have power, its a long story) We about burned our eye brows off cooking adobo chicken haha (neither of us really know how to cook) Sister Cansanay has such a bright, burning spirit and I know we are going to start seeing miracles here in Sum-ag. <br />

Yeah that's all I got for you this week. Just all about my new kaupod, haha sorry I promise the work is great here too, we're in the process of finding new investigators! And we'll have some baptisms this August(: I know they will happen too, we have faith(: I know anything is possible when we have faith in Christ. When we just put all our trust in Him, forget about what we want to happen and how we think we can make it happen, He will make it happen! I love being a missionary so much! Kbye halong kamo!

Because she expected a change in the weather. Whats the difference between weather and climate? You can't weather a tree but you can climate. hehehe(: maaung udto!! So these are just some jokes a ward missionary told me when I received the call that I would be training this cycle. Yeah. I'm kinda nervous. The mission just never can be easy. Its always just getting harder and harder. I don't who I'm training yet so you'll get to find out next week(: yay!<br />
<br />
So last week was possibly the hardest week of my mission. Me and Sister Tatireta just hit a slump. We had no idea what was wrong! We got punted all day everyday. No one wanted to listen to us, our investigators, recent converts, less actives, no one (like in the city people are always so busy). Usually people are like oh this white girl knows how to speak Hiligaynon I'll listen to what she has to say but this week Satan was really working against us. That guy. We also had our MLC and zone training. It was all about the spirit. It was so perfect. I now feel like it was preparing me for this step in becoming a trainer. I know its the spirit that will train this missionary, not me. I'm nothing without the spirit. Like this week for example, we met a less active. He was baptized in 2013 then moved to the Christian church in 2014 and is now the assistant to the preacher. And he didn't really want to listen to us, he wanted to argue with us. But I'm not about that life. So we just sang for him, the power house, I am a Child of God. I've never seen the spirit hit someone so strong. He got the chills and cried. He told us "this feeling is why I joined your church. But I don't feel it anymore." ah I know this church is true, with all my heart. The spirit is the love from God that brings so many people to the truth and I get to witness it everyday(: I love being a missionary so much!! Halong kmu! Stay Fresh.<br />
