Sister Evans Loves You...January 25, 2016

Hello Po!

Everyone, I love you all haha i just thought id get that out there before anything else. Well this week flew by, honestly it felt like it was just pday haha we are always so busy, especially with still opening an area. Its a lot of fun here, the people are my favvotire they are soooo kind and so much fun. My favortie is all the Filipino kids who run up to me in the streets and do “mano po” to me, its something they do to respect their elders, they put their hand to the older persons forehead and say mano po, but the little kids do it to us as a joke haha its so  much fun. They just stare at me and think i am already fluent in tagalong haha they talk to fast! But i love how they just follow us everythere ahh its soooo cute! On Monday and Tuesday night we had dinner appointments, they always love to show off their Filipino food, so they make us a eat a lot haha and in the culute you have to finish evey single grain of rice, because they don’t have much and they are so genersous with what they give us. Haha but its so funny, i got a plate full then i went back for 2nds to make them feel good and then they gave me 3rds and sometimes 4ths haha. Hevenly father has given me a tender mercy because some how i am able to eat everything and it helps that its all masarap! Delicious! I love the food here. As all these people feed us i feel like the Grinch when all the whos are feeding him on Christmas eve and he’s just dying in the chair from  being so food hahah just imagine I am the Grinch in that situation beaucuse that is how i feel inside hahah. Guess what!!!! My first baptism will be on the 30^th ahhh i am sooooo excited!! Brother Rosston was a refelerl to us my 2^nd day here in the feild, we have been teaching him ever since, he honestly seems likes hes been a member forever haha, he has been so prepared for this gosepel. It is incredible to see the changes in these peoples lifes because of the the gosepel that they now have. They change because they know heavenly fathers plan for them indivudaly and they realize just how much there heavenly father loves them, and knowing of that incredible matchless love causes a person to change. I am so blessed and honoured to be on the front  row seats of this work! Ahh i love it everysingle day! This week has been soooo hot, oh my goodness haha can you guys send some of that Arizona winter over here! Thanks, we appreaciate it haha. I hope you all are having a wonderful life, and i hope you all have a wonderful week. You all deserve so much because you are all so wonderful. I am so greatfukl for the love and support you all show me, thank you so much for all the prayers and faith and enthusiasm for this work. I couldn’t be able to do this without the love adn support of my family and friends. Always remember to pray to your heavenly father and rely on him, he is your father and is sooooo mindful of you adn what you are each going through. Again thank you for all that you guys do for me, i feel soooooo incredibly blessed to have each and every one of you. You are all an inspiration to me. I am happy, healthy, improving in tagalong haha I love being new because i don’t have to be perfect at tagolog, i love learning new things and talking ot everyone.

1-25-15 ( ive already been out 2 months isn’t that crazy)

I got letters from grandma Sherry, Sister Buckley, and Emily Clonts

A family home evening with 3 families.  Lillian and Sister Mepina were getting close to curfew and so the 3 moms hurried real fast and put their dinner into togo bags.  They are so good to them.  Brother Roston in the front will be baptized on January 30, 2016

Lillian doesn't have time to write much on P-day so she is trying this new thing where she takes a little time during the week to write in her notebook and then she takes a picture of it.  It's a little harder to read, but I love getting a longer letter with more detail.

I eat fish and rice like evyday haha its soo good. honestly! 

haha sorry guys this emial is already super lame, if i had more time to gather my thoughts it would be better written haha but just know that the philippines is awesome! i have an awesome tan on my feet. i eat all my meals on the floor beacuse we have no chairs haha we teach lessons on tree stumps and squatting, its awesome! We wash our laundry by hand and take bucket showers. I tried susji for the first time, sooo good! I am craving mexican food soooo mcuh!! someone go eat at the taco shop for me. or even a cheese chrisp or a green chilie burro will do ;) 

I love the filipio people, haha and they love me beacuse i am white! as we walk down the street all the little kids run up to me and just hold my hand as we walk and touch my arms beacuse they are amazed at the color. haha I love it.

I love this work, eveyday its so exciting to see who the lord had prepared for that day, sometime lessons dont fall through but heavently father always puts someone who is preprated to hear this message in our path. I love being on the front row seats of the our heavnly  fatheres divine work. God is a God of miracles, and will always be that will never change. Have faith that he does work mircales and he will pour out miralces to you adn your family. more then you can even comprehend!
