Hello! April 28, 2013

April 28, 2013

So, this week was super super busy!!!!!!

I transferred!.....................to a new apartment!!! WOOOOO! It's so nice! It has a huge terrace, and brand new appliances!!! And it's adorable! It's three stories! It's little, but it's cute! So, we spent 1 day cleaning both apartments (because the elders moved into our old one) and moving and we spent all day Saturday putting together appliances and closets and such. So, I was sad that we didn't really get to teach that much.... but that's ok. We'll do way better this week!!!

WE HAVE TWO INVESTIGATORS COMMITED TO DATE!!! yay!!! I love baptisms!!! One is June Labrauge! We finally got ahold of him and we teach him three times a week now! And he came to church!!!! YAY!! And one of our inactive families that we've been visiting all came to church this week!!!! That was as exciting as a baptism!!! I love them, and I'm so happy that I got to help them come back to the church!!!

This week is going to be really really busy, because we have 5 new investigators! And hopefully we can commit 4 people to date by the end of next week! Our branch really needs the priesthood holders! Our branch ended up not getting elders this transfer. But, next cycle, Hopefully! There is too much work to do for two missionaries. But I'm also really sad, because I don't want to give up my investigators! That's ok, I'll just have to baptize them before the Elders come! haha

I love the Philippines!! When I first got here, I didn't think that I could feel comfortable, let alone feel at home here, but I do now! I love these people so much! I love their culture, attitudes, openness, and good hearts! Missions are the best things in the world!! They are really hard, but they are so worth it!!! I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to get to know these wonderful people! The lord has blessed me so much!! I am so happy to be able to put on his name tag everyday and do his work.

I know that this church is true with all of my soul! Through this gospel, all of your problems will be ok, you will find solutions, and most importantly, eternal happiness. I've never felt this close to my Savior before, but I'm so so so glad that I get the chance to grow this way.

You are all in my prayers.

Much love!
