Dear Family,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Guess what? I have officially live in the philippines for 1 year. Crazy right? The time has seriously just flown by. I have learn so much and grown so much. Missions are an excellent thing.
This has been a good week. Kind of a crazy week as well, but I feel like recently I have had a lot of really crazy weeks. Thursday we went on splits with the sisters that live in carmen (which is really far away from us and invovles a lot of travel). But it was really good, I went on splits with sister Legaspi and she is great. I had a really fun day with her and I would have sent picture, but I forgot my converter. Then the day after that we had Zone Conference. I was really good, the focus was teaching people not lessons and trying to get a 2nd visit, because here first visits are pretty easy, its the going back that is hard. It was really good. As well, like everything here in the philippines, we got to watch Meet The Mormons four months later. But I really love it, as in. It was sooo good. And I was like wow real life/ life in america... Its a real thing. Haha but it was really fun.
As far as the area it is going through a point of non-progression, but the branch has plans to work with us this week, so hopefully that will help things out. We had out Branch Mission Leader go with us to teach daphney because at the begining of the transfer she had a lot of really good reasons not to go to church, and now she just isn't coming, so we are trying to help her out.
As far as companion sister lange is doing great, sometimes gets weirded out that she is going home, but she is doing great. She will leave me on sunday after church and then I will be working with a ward missionary from monday to wednesday, whose name is charmie and she is the funniest.
Anyways that is all for me. I hope your lifes are going well. Mine is. I love you all so much!

P.S. you guys should check out this mormon message our mission president showed and its from cebu and she speaks bisaya so of course I love it, but check it out. I am also curios if you guys can pick up on the english that she mixes in there like all bisaya speaker do. Its really obvious to me, but I remember at the begining of my mission i would be like "what does this word mean" and they would say "thats english" so I am curious if its really obvious or not let know. But that really is what the philippines looks like and the temple of course, love the temple :)
