Kahit araw araw

Kamusta y'all!
    We've still been settling in this week, but I'm starting to get to know Solano and the members in the branch here have been really helpful. On Wednesday one of the sisters in our apartment had to go to a meeting, so her companion joined us for the day. Even though she's only been in the field for a week, she was so great! Her Tagalog is pretty good, and she was able to help us teach some great lessons.
     We've been teaching Brother Holiber, and he's super great. He really likes reading the Book of Mormon, and he'll ask us questions about things he doesn't understand. (Mostly the deep tagalog, but other stuff too) He recognizes the importance of the process of repentance, and that repentance is an essential step in preparing for baptism. He talked about how getting baptized with out repenting first is pretty much useless. I know that Christ's gospel is divinely designed to help us become like our Heavenly Father. I know that as we make that plan the focus of everything we do, who we are will gradually change to who we have the potential to be.
    Ingat y'all!

Surprise!

Kamusta,     So, President Lee gave me permission to email you. Mama gets a birthday call tomorrow , because I'll be spending a lot of time in the airport... because I'm going to the Philippines! Feel free to be in shock, because I'm in more shock. Saturday night we had our transfer call, where President Lee just tells everyone where they're going. And "Sister Harrison is being transferred to her mission in the Philippines" Apparently he found out on Friday . I'm really excited and really terrified. I'm going to miss the Florida Jacksonville Mission so much! I don't know if I'll be doing any emailing tomorrow ... I'll figure that out. But I'll send my travel plans and you can tell me when to call you, I think it'd be best for me to call in San Francisco because I have more time there. But let me know what works... :)    Mahal kita!       Sister Harrison

Sa Tagalog!

Kamusta y'all!      I'm not sure if this has been the longest or shortest week ever. But I have learned so much everyday. My kasama, Sister Topham, is so fun and because we're both new we get to struggle and figure things out together.    I've been told the work here goes in waves, and right now we're on the downhill. Which means we haven't found any new people to teach, most of the people we're teaching are busy and don't make time to talk to us, and some of the people we're teaching have dropped us. That isn't the most fun thing ever, but we just keep on working.     This last week we've met with the members a lot in order for me to get some practice teaching, and to ask for any referrals. The members in the St. Johns ward are so nice and generous. Apparently during most of the year they feed us almost every day, but because it's summer we've been getting fed about four times a week. We're pretty spoiled. But I will warn y

  Kamusta y'all!         Although I almost forgot about Thanksgiving (because there's no Thanksgiving in the Philippines), this week has still been a week of gratitude. As I've been experiencing so many "lasts", my heart has been filled with gratitude to my Heavenly Father. How privileged I am that Heavenly Father has given me this opportunity to be a part of His great work. I have learned so much about myself, the gospel, and my Savior. I have been blessed to build so many relationships, and to learn how to see life differently. It has been so wonderful to share the gospel with so many people, and see the way it changes their lives.The Philippines really is such a special place, and Filipinos are so unique. I'm so grateful I've had the chance to be a part of their lives and be changed by them. And I'm grateful for all the support I  have felt from my family and friends back home. I have constantly been strengthened and encouraged by yo
