早安！可能今天我会开始用普通话写我的书信。
这个星期我们有地带大会！学了很多东西从不同的传教士。
I honestly don't have a lot of experiences to write about this week, only a few come to mind.
• We had our zone conference last Thursday and it was a SUPER rainy day. As we were preparing in the morning, I asked my companion what time the bus was going to arrive. She said 15 minutes until the next bus. I wasn't super worried because we live so close to the chapel. But a few minutes later I checked to see how many minutes more until it would arrive and it wasn't there anymore. So I immediately tried searching for another route and we saw another bus option and we started hurrying up and started running to the bus station. As we started running the rain started pouring so we had to be a little more careful incase we would slip. But we were going to be late for the bus!!! And so we started running 
and then I saw a car coming from behind me and then got splashed by water. I was so drenched... my companion who was running behind me saw all of it and we just laughed haha the story doesn't end yet! We hop on the bus and I was shivering because my clothes were so wet and then we went down and saw a flood! So my companion and I start singing "A Great Work" keeping the enthusiasm and positivity despite the rain and flood and few seconds later we saw an old lady across the street and she was trying to cross the road but she was having a hard time and almost fell. She was using her crane to help herself cross but the flow of the flood was too strong and so my companion and I walked to her and crossed the flood to help her and she was still hesitant to cross but as I held her arm and put my foot in the flood she took courage and stepped into the flood and we crossed together. That experience taught me a lot but I'm going to leave it up to you on how you want to interpret my experience and connect it to a gospel principle.

First I had exchanges with Sister Summers. She's from Utah and she has really good Mandarin background. As we went on exchanges it was refreshing to see a greenie trying to figure out what she was doing. It's so cool to see new missionaries figure things out and continue to grow. I was reminded of the fire every greenie missionary has when they first start. They are so full of innocence and enthusiasm for the work. I also had exchanges with sister Yip and she's a cutie! She is so genuine and is so full of love ♡♡ I used to live with her back when I was still in training. And now it has been 9 months since. Time flies!
• i also had my first district coordination and we coordinated with the district president and updated him about our missionary efforts. So humbling to see how the church works and how much effort is put into missionary work. This really is the most important work!
• Sunday was a craaazy busy day. It's our busiest day cause all our friends have time to meet. As we were having our sacrament meeting I was called up to bear my testimony as a new missionary in the branch. I'VE NEVER DONE THAT IN MY 1 YEAR MISSIONARY EXPERIENCE HAHA I was so scared and my heart was pounding hahaha. Then we taught all of our friends who came to church and got to talk to some members. The Filipino work is so interesting and something I need to get used to. I'm definitely not used to just teaching a few lessons in the week because they all can't text or call at home because they're working. But it has been a different experience in which I know I will learn to develop a deeper love for people and increased testimony.
