'It's crazy how this week just flew by! I can't believe it will be just a few more weeks until I find out if I'm going to the Philippines. The funniest part about it is how many people here have told me they are praying it doesn't come;) you truly do come to love wherever you are called to serve! This week we had zone conference with all the mountain missionaries. (They have valley missionaries and mountain missionaries) It was so good and I absolutely love President and Sister Robinson. My favorite part was being able to see the pictures of the many people who were baptized in the last couple of months. It was awesome to be able to see their faces and not just hear numbers. What really stood out though, as pictures of the baptism's would pop up onto the screen, how many missionaries would shout out things like, "no way I taught her for a while, and I always wondered what ended up happening to her!" It was neat to see that even though they didn't get to see some of these people they taught all the way through to baptism, they still played a big role and were able to plant seeds. This week we also biked for the first time... mainly because we are running out of our limited miles for this transfer haha. We were struggling to keep our skirts down and to make everything all the more exciting, my bike tires half way through went completely flat. We had to keep going, because we were already late for a lesson so what did I do? I ran with my bike for a full mile or more in like 90 degree weather. I'll tell you what, I am sooo out of shape haha
We have also been teaching a mom of 6 kids named Tonya that we found last week. We had felt prompted to go and knock on their house. She has been going through a pretty tough time. The last time we went over to her house to share a little message she explained to us that in The last year that they have lived there, no one has ever come over to visit until we showed up right when this tough time for them had started. She told us how much that meant to her, and that she felt because of that God is still aware of them and cares. The coolest part is that every time we have gone back, she always says that we show up right when she needs it most. I think that's the biggest thing I've learned, listening to the spirit and his still small voice. It is the most vital thing to missionary work, and not only that, but for our lives. President Nelson said, "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost." It's so important we live in a way that we are able to have His influence in our lives and to be constantly doing those small simple things like reading our scriptures, praying and going to church so that it increases our ability to hear Him. Thank you for the emails and support! Love you kag nahidlaw ako sa inyo!!!
