Fiesta in Cotnogan!

 Hey hey!

This week has been amazing! I got a new companion, Elder Soliman, and he is really cool! We have been getting along really well, and our teachings have been super awesome! He is an experienced missionary so, he is able to teach me a lot of new ways of teaching and sharing the Gospel. I think it is going to be a great transfer in Cotnogan!

We also had our Fiesta here in Cotnogan! It is a holiday here, and each barangay or town has their own. And they love their Fiestas more than Christmas here!  Ours was on Saturday. It was fun! Their was street food, stand-up shops, dessert and of course a whole lot of food! We actually had 9 eating appointments haha. I think it is safe to say our bellies were full to the brim. But there were also a lot of people celebrating so it was a great, great time to build our relationship with the people here in Cotnogan and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ while we were at it! 

The day after, on Sunday, we got invite to a death anniversary. Which is a tradition here in the Philippines to celebrate the life of a loved one. But, we got invited to share a message about the Plan of Salvation, particularly about life after death. Not to lie I was a little nervous haha. But it went really good! We were able help them understand our purpose here on earth and where we are going after death. It was a beautiful lesson and the spirit was strong! Best of all it was all in Tagalog!

That's it for this week.

He Made it to Naga! (and survived his first Typhoon)

Hey lovely parents!  We had a level 3 Typhoon here the other day, it was pretty cool, and scary. Luckily it didn't hit us directly. But there was a lot of rain and very, very strong wind. Also I have heard Naga gets hit with the hardest Typhoons, so it should be fun! Anyways, I leave tomorrow morning at 3:50 AM hopping on a plane to Naga. I think my P-Days will be switching to Monday, but I am still not sure. It will be fun to finally be in the mission, and to see the area. I've heard I have the best mission president out there, who I am excited to meet. I'm also excited to get my machete :) I love y'all very much and miss you! Talk to ya next week! -Isaac Dear Morgans, This is Sister Hansen. President and I are so happy to welcome Elder Morgan to the Philippines Naga Mission! He is well and just met his new companion. We just wanted you to know he arrived safely and that his P-days will be on Mondays. We love him already and look forward to serving with him here! Warml...

Dalawang pogi

Hey hey. This week has been awesome! Here's why... We were lucky enough to have held a service project at the local police station. It went great. We cleaned their alleyway and they gave us snacks. I guess it was a win win. We then got to celebrate the good ole 1 year mark with barbecue and root beer floats. Which is quite limited here in the Philippines. Following the celebration, we had Zone Conference. I loved it! We focused on the difference between a testimony and conversion. And how we can help our interested people become converted unto the Lord. Zone Conference was then followed with exchanges. It was me and another american. His name is Elder Barzee. He is an awesome guy, and an even better missionary. We ended up finding a lot of new people to teach. While on exchanges, we went to dinner right. As we were eating we hear someone yell from behind us "marhay na banggi po sa inyong dalawang pogi" which in english translates too "good evening to you two handsome...

A Typhoon in the Middle of Summer!

Hey yall!  What an absolute amazing week it has been! It has been filled with funny stories and crazy experiences. We started off this week having a great day of missionary work. We were teaching and serving the amazing people of the Philippines, when all of the sudden we got a call from the Zone Leaders. They told us a big Typhoon was on its way to hit our area... we were instructed to pack up for 3 days, and go to Lagonoy ( a bigger city outside of our area. ) We were told to not leave Lagonoy until instructed otherwise. So we didn't. As the night went on we were really expecting so to see a big typhoon start to take way, but it didn't happen. There was a little bit of rain fall and some wind but, that was it. The next day came by and there still was no typhoon... we were wondering what to do. Do we work? Do we go back to our area? We ended calling the Zone Leaders, and they said to stay in Lagonoy until everything had passed. So we stayed and worked in their area.  As a Dis...
