So another week has gone by! This
week I really realized why we have trials and why some of us were born into
such good countries and families while others have more trials and are born
into families in 3rd world countries.
There is a quote I heard which I’m going
to destroy but I will try my best. "Everyone has trials but it’s how we
react and deal with them that counts. We can either let them build us up and
make us better, or we can let them destroy us."
I am going to strive to let every
trial I have build me and make me stronger and look at the things I am able to
learn from it.
My testimony of the Atonement and of
the Savior is so much stronger and I am so grateful to be able to live with my
family forever in the next life. I honestly don’t know what I would do without
them. I am so grateful to be here on a
mission and having the opportunity to be here, serving the Lord, and
helping others. It has made me reflect a lot on my life and how I can improve. It
has really strengthened my desire to be better and not compare myself to others
but always look for ways that I can be better and ways that I can improve! I
love this Church. I love this Work. And, I love the Philippines! Sorry this is
short. I will have more next time!
My Mission
President is awesome! He is a lawyer and has his own firm. His wife is from Ogden and they live in California,
I think!
My companions’
family lives in Farmington Utah now. He loves singing and music. He is way funny! We teach around 25-30 lessons a week. We are
really focusing on less actives because lots of people get baptized, but they
never come to church after that so it’s really frustrating! Everyone here is so nice that anyone you ask “can
we come in?” will let us in. It’s kind of hard to find the people who really
have potential because everyone lets you in! So, we try really hard to have the
spirit with us so we can make an impact on everyone and increase their
potential!
Regarding pictures, um don’t be
upset but I left my bag with my camera in it at home and we are kind of far
away. We don’t bring our bags with us when we are running errands. I swear upon the holy name of Freestyle
Skiing I will bring my camera next week?
I love you
guys so much and all I want to do is make you proud! I look forward to Mondays, after
I get off from reading your emails every week!
I hope you have a good week and you all are always in my prayers!!! LOVE YOU!
