Wow, another great week has passed by! I can't believe its July now! I hope everyone had a great July 4th! I made 'mango float' for our comp celebration. It was marasa (delicious)...its layers of graham crackers, cream of sorts, and mangas. yum.
WEll, we seriously had a great week of work. We were blessed to teach lots of lessons and meet lots of people. We are so excited about the work in our area and sister dustin and i are doing well. We decided that the time is now to unite our branch (balaquid saints go to special sacrament and capucgayan go to a meeting house) and in september the chapel building will be built and all the saints will go there...so we decided for the grand opening event that we would direct a PLAY/talent show. WE couldn't think of a title yet---elder webb came up with "chickens in the meetinghouse" bahahaha --cause there were tons of chickens at our district meeting running around--and it sounds like a cheesy/funny mormon movie, doesn't it?? bahah, but you all should also be thinking of a title. We also had, " more than men." but that seemed too much like "mormon" and we started chanting the girls camp song...mormon mormon mormon mormon, i know a mormon boy...etc. it was funny.
We are so excited and the story is based off of alma 17-22, 26. . . missionary work, of course. :) We are also going to tie in modern day missionary work and basically serving God and our brothers and sisters. Its going ot be incredible! Also, each auxillary will be in charge of a 'commercial' between scenes and they will perform some type of awesome talent. Our branch presidency wants to do "thriller" i think. bahaha. its going ot be so good . Members, non-members, and investigators are all involved. So we have this epic event and play we are in charge of, plus all of our normal responsiblities and teaching and proselyting. WE are keeping busy!
I love Sister Dustin and I am learning so much from her. She is an incredible missionary! She was fluent in the language and training after just four months! I have lots to learn and its exciting.
We have a joint Zone Conference in tacloban in a few weeks and an area 70 is coming.
WE are teaching some great investigators and they are progressing and keeping their commitments. Its so fun to see!
ALso, Raymond passed the sacrament for the first time on Sunday. I was so proud of him! He also always comes with us to teach lessons and its so good. He is the best. Abigail also continues to come to church and brings friends. The work is moving forward here...thank you for all of your prayers!
We started teaching Daddy Bob about temples--he's 85 and can't walk and has to drink coffee (prescribed by doctor) because his body will go into shock if he doesn't...Anyways, he needs to walk and he needs to stop drinking coffee if he wants to go to the temple. He told us that he does want to go and so we are focusing on what is the next step for him. I really love being with him. He cracks me up , but I also love discussing the gospel with him. He always asks us why he is still alive and we flat out told him its because he is supposed to go to the temple. cool, eh?
Little daniela is doing good, though she had a fever this week. Her family and extended family is inactive but her grandpa let us teach him and we also taught her uncles. They have been in active forever. But they are going to come back, i know it. I seriously love that family.

God's church is on the earth and his plan for each of us is perfect. We are a part of each other's lives for a reason--so how can we help one another and bring eachother unto christ even more?!?!
I love my life and i love all of you. Thank you for your support and prayers .
love,
Sister B!
