Yay for ward missionaries!
Hi Everyone!!
Yes,
it really happened...we had 10 of our investigators at church
yesterday!! WOOOOOOH!!!! Me and Sister Udarbe opened our fast on
Saturday, and especially prayed for our investigators to have a desire
to come to church. One of them we went and picked up, and the other
ones were there when we walked in!! We were so excited! Heavenly
Father really answers prayers :)
I am loving
September in the Philippines, because in the Philippines, now is when
Christmas celebrations start!! I literally saw Christmas trees at
Puregold when we did our grocery shopping last week...It's coming!!! 
So in most of our lessons and all our companionship studies, our
opening hymn has been from the Christmas section of the hymnbook :)
it's pretty much awesome. But when we were doing our grocery shopping,
Lady Antebellum came on the store playlist! I hear mostly English
music here, but not much country, so if I hear country it's definitely
very difficult to resist the "babylonian music"!!
Last
week was transfer week, and I DIDN'T TRANSFER!!! I'm so happy because
there are investigators here that I love so much and I know I haven't
finished helping them yet. And I get to finish training Sister Udarbe!
Sister Maravillo became an Sister Training Leader, so now it's me and
Sister Udarbe, and Sisters Pakalani & Duque in the Taytay 1st ward.
It's so fun!
And my quote actually comes from Sister Pakalani's prayer over lunch the other day: Please bless the beautiful hands that prepared this food, and bless Sister Udarbe and Pectol and Duque with gwapo (handsome) husbands and lots of beautiful children. And please bless the burnt pancakes that they won't poison us.
Ok, the pancakes weren't that bad!! Needless to say, we were all
cracking up by the time the prayer was over...well, sometimes it
happens.
My scripture actually comes from my
personal study this morning. I was actually feeling kind of
discouraged, so I studied about hope in Preach My Gospel, and this
scripture amazed me. Ether 12:4 4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God
might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the
right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the
souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding
in good works, being led to glorify God. Really though. Hope is
so important, and when we ever feel discouraged, Heavenly Father and
Jesus Christ are right there waiting for us.
Love from the Philippines!
XOXO
