Hello Friends and family!!
I've been thinking about you all week!! What a fantastic week!! Rain and I'm pretty sure it was like 120 degrees here!! Haha! The cold showers are a blessing!! (We do not have hot water...I haven't taken a warm shower for a year! And I love it!)
I was able to watch General Conference this weekend and it was AMAZING!!! I LOVED Elder Bednar's talk.... Perfect.
Also, I liked President Uchtdorf's on Saturday Afternoon(?) Where he talked about seeking truth and revelation.
We are so fortunate to have such wise counsel from the leaders of the Church. We never have to wonder about what we should do. We can read the Scriptures, listen to church leaders and PRAY to know for ourselves!
I remember my Dad said last conference that he didn't think conference got better, but he himself had experienced growth and so it seemed that Conference was better! I love that.
I thought it was so interesting how many spoke on the topic of "Prophets"
Eugenia,
Ever, and Revodem are being baptized this Saturday!! The less-active family we
have been working with for two transfers!! I'm so excited!
My guapo missionary in training.....
We also have a crew from SLC coming to film a documentary for the
church this week! In our stake!! They chose three recent convert families in
our ward to interview. The Alidon family is one of them! So awesome!
We have transfers already coming up next week as well!! I've been here two transfers. I may very well stay, but typically ZL's stay two and then transfer. We'll see!
No ovens! We mostly cook outside on coals or on a hotplate inside.
Milk honestly doesn't really exist. You can't buy it in the
grocery stores except in Dumaguete over on Negros Island.. And even when you
can find it, no it is not like home haha.. I miss cereal with milk :)
We always get up at 6:30 or earlier if I have some extra things to do like laundry or
studying

| I love studying! |
No ice cream....it's kinda hard when there isn't really any milk /: But
there are 7-elevens that have slurpees and soft serve sometimes!
I really like the dogs. Not the ones
on the streets.. but the pets. Ugh, the ones on the streets are disgusting!
Don't ever touch them..
We eat at McDonalds about every other week probably.. I usually
just get a chicken sandwich or a burger.. They're good!
We went to a members to eat and.......

| Guess what's for dinner...... Sorry I'm short of time this week, but know that I am happy and well and I LOVE SERVING A MISSION. I love the Gospel and the goodness that comes from living it. I love seeing peoples lives change in positive ways when they live Gospel principles. Seek to know for yourselves that this gospel of Jesus Christ is true and live the principles to find real happiness. I love you all! Elder J. Jacobs |
