Week 2

KUMUSTA KA KAMI!!!???

This weeks has been pretty eventfull!! Lot's of fun things and LOTS of spiritual things! SO I have just chosen favorite stories to share with all of you.....

So our "investigator" Mildred? Guess what.....She is now our teacher!The whole time she has actually been our teacher. She was just playing an investigator she met while serving in Tacloban! Her real name is, Sister CLAIRE Brinton! She's super dope!! She was the only girl in her whole district! SHe gets married in May to her fiance she met at the Y. So typical! :)

Elder Agavale and Elder Kaafi have never seen snow before! So they, and Elders Toluta'u from Tonga, Elder Kafusssi from Tonga, and Elder Drauva from Fiji, had the time of their life in the snow!! We all did!

Last week, I touched base with how Sister Hogge is homesick. Well, it got really bad on tuesday and wednesday. She wrote to Presidnet Capik, telling him she was gettign homesick, he met met with her the next day. I would find out the day after that, that all she was planning on calling home that night and going home. In her meeting with Capik, she shared her feelings and he siad something that turned everything around, That she was called here by God. HE needs her. She is the tool that is needed for Him to touch the lives of the people in the Tacloban Mission. But More importantly, that it was the ADVERSARY that was pushing her shoulders down. Making her feel unworthy to serve. Wanting to stop. Give up and go home. It wasn't her, beating up on her self. The next day after she told me this, she received a priesthood blessing and was able to call home to her family and tell them how she was feeling. She is now as happy as ever and the adversary has no place in her life now. She still misses everybody of course, but now she is able to bare, and take it day by day. Rather than looking so far into the futrue.

Brother Pasikala and Brother Young are so spiritually in tune and know exactly what we all need. Friday and Saturday night, was just that. Brother Pasikala, shared so much with us and us with him. He shared a scripture with me while in missionary coaching. He asked me what got me to this point and why I wanted to serve. I told him the whole reason I wanted to serve, was to let people know that their Heavenly Father loves them! Loves them so much that He has a plan for them. That He loves us all so much that He wants us to be with Him again! AND I JUST WANT TO YELL IT TO THE WORLD! :) Isaiah 52;7 and D&C 128:19. Everyone needs to know that! They are loves by someone so infinitely, and He doesn't ask anything else from us, but that we love Him and His Son, repent, and stay obedient. "Come unto me" is all He asks, and in returen, we receive so much more!

Brother Young as well shared so much with us! We had so many lesson plans that night he felt so inclined by that Spirit that he just told story all night. Stories of spreading the Gospel and How it has blessed his and others lives. We had a testimony night as well. Elder Agavale, Which I swear, he is like my brother or cousin, we are thick as thieves! But, he shared a dream he had with us where his grandmother and he were in heaven and she shared scripture with him. Somewhere in D&C telling him he needed to get people to prepare an repent. No joke, I had heard this exact story before! Same setting, same people, all of it.I can't even tell you how much deja vu I have had here! Well, I can.... EVERYDAY! Everyday something happens where I feel like I have done this before, or this is familiar, all that. Hahah, everything in my life has definitely led me to this! This is the thing that I need to be doing with my life. The Lord answering my prayer that I need to serve, just proves it! But having a feeling, that you have known all these people for your whole life, our guess is pre-existance. We all have such a bond together! I love my district so much! Hahah, we are all so spiritual, but most of the time it is jusy flat out hilarity! Elder Muir saying, "Nailed it!" after everything awesome! But now saying, "Gilangsang siya!" because thats what it is in Cebuano. Or Elder Kaafi, saying he feels the spirit and falling asleep. Or my companion saying, "I'm so glad that my first companion is a dork!" Hahahaha, it just makes it all that more awesome!

Well, It's about that time again! Elder's are freaking out becaue they can't write home to their "MUMMYS!!" :) I love you all and am so grateful for all that you have done for me! And hey, There is a thing called SNAIL MAIL. Y'all should try it! OR even DearElder! Hahah, I love you guys!!!!!!!!!
