Week 16: Happy New Year!

New year's eve and new year day went great! Our former bishop invited us over to their home to spend the eve. We have to be home by 6pm so we just actually stayed for less than an hour haha. We had a short home evening and it was fun. We couldn't make it to another member's house so they opted to send us food. Spag, salad and all the new year kind of food we have at home. Our table (and fridge) was full. They are amazing! I gave a talk on the last Sunday of the year 2013. I shared a powerful counsel of Elder David Bednar  referring...

Week 15: Sir Ralph Weasley, The Prayeful

Everyone, I'd like you to meet Sir Ralph Weasley. He's been praying for his rightful owner . His only requirement is for his master to be as prayerful as he is. Who is the lucky girl? Me!  Stories aside, this is from Sister Sabio and it's super adorable. He stays in my study table because I love the message he conveys. Pray often to our Heavenly Father. :) The prayerful servant, Sister Javelona ...

Week 15: Favorite Time of the Year!

Dear family! Thank you everyone for the Skype call. It was hard to say goodbye because I miss everyone so much. I was very happy to talk and see each one of you. Thank you for all the great stories!  About me and Sister Arrieta,we are doing great! She is shy girl but she talk just enough for me to know how to help her. I always appreciate how humble and hardworking she is. Pangalatok, her native language has no single word similar to Cebuano so her learning the language is different than  mine. We both love learning the...

Week 11: Hello December!

Hi family and friends! First of all I had a haircut. Sister B. gave it a great shape only it was shorter than what I asked for. The internet shop here at Gaisano doesn't allow any devices attached to their computer. It's weird, so I might just make up next week for the photos. I think I can still pull the short hair. :) My hair is probably not so important so let me tell you the more interesting part. We were supposed to transfer apartment on Thursday. We packed everything and dissembled the beds even. Our zone leaders and district leader traveled to help us. We loaded our first batch of things already to the jeep...
