Yup! I can definitely believe I've been here for a year and a half haha :) It's pretty surprising how much I've grown and seen and done in that year and a half though. I've still got a lot to learn and even though I've been out here for this long I don't think I'll ever be completely comfortable but I'm pretty happy about and grateful for all the Lord has blessed me with.

Soooo... I had a pretty awesome experience this morning that put into perspective just how long I really have been out here on the mission. This morning we had a Temple day (that's why I didn't email on Monday). When we got there I ran into some good friends. The Bishop and some members from my first area (Panghulo) were there for..... The Endowments and Sealing of the S A family!!! :D If you remember the S A family was my favorite family in the Philippines back when I was assigned in Panghulo. I transferred 2 weeks before they were baptized and now it's been exactly 1 year and they've already made it into the temple. Woot! :) Tender mercies of the Lord. He set it up perfect so that I'd just happen to be there on that day at that time to run into them. AWEsome :) It was really cool to see them and others from my first area and actually be able to talk to and understand them. They were pretty happy to see me and I was super happy and surprised to see them. Their now 8 yr-old son ran up to me and gave me a hug haha. And their baby is now 1 and a half yrs old, really chubby and walking around. Pretty great. Again tender mercy of the Lord :)

So............. Sister L is leaving for America tomorrow morning and the Relief Society decided to set up an FHE at her house.... at 4 in the afternoon?! But we've gotta run and go to that. Sorry this is super short. Hopefully I'll get some time to finish up afterwards.
Either way just know that I love ya to death and appreciate all your love and encouragement and prayers. They're definitely needed :)
