Kumusta!
Siege so this week was so crazy. We found two new families
to teach this week! They are both so awesome and really progressing. They are
really seeking to know if our message is true and are recognizing the answering
to their prayers!! It's such a miracle because this week almost all of our
investigators are either progressing (reading, going to church,etc.) or have
baptismal dates. IT'S SO EXCITING.
Before I left on my mission one of my friends said
that missionaries who go to Asian countries learn how to be humble. But I
really think that is true for missionaries anywhere. I have never been aware of
how little I know and how incapable I really am until I came here and tried to
speak a new language and work crazy long days and understand new culture, etc.
etc. But I also have never been so aware of how real and tangible and
accessible the Lord's help is to us. My new favorite scripture is Luke 18:27.
Heavenly Father really can make the most impossible things possible and he
really wants to help us if we just turn to him. I think I have relied on him
this week more than ever and we have seen such great miracles. He can open
doors that have never been opened before and give strength to us so we can
accomplish what we need to even when we really think we can't. It's pretty
great.
Also we did community service this week and we were weeding
and cutting down trees and stuff and they just handed me a machete and told me
to get to work and I just cracked up at how they just give a little white
american girl that with no instruction book. Too much trust if you ask me. I
have no idea what i'm doing just whacking away haha It worked though.
Anyways sorry this is short this week.
Mahal Kita,
