okay- so i had a super good week. it went by way fast thank goodness. the days seem to drag on but the weeks seriously fly by. class is going good- we committed a investigator to baptism & tomorrow we get two more investigators- roy sebastian & laura, pray that the lessons go well and my tagalog is on point! my tagalog is picking up and i can say and teach a lot more than i realized. its getting there slowly, but i trust in the lord and trust and rely on the spirit while im teaching. it helps that way. please keep my entire district in your prayers. our teaching depends on our language and the spirit. we are counting on the lord but prayers would help!! :)
today we went to the temple. we go to the 6:30 session on p-day and dont worry, when we walked out of our building this morning it was freaking SNOWING. i was freezing. but thanks so much for sending my jacket,. i would have died if i didnt get that this week. the temple was awesome as usual but, btw im sick. i am almost positive i have strep. im seeing a doctor today so keep me in your prayers. i am hoping to get some antibiotics cus my throat is bad and my cough keeps me up at night. i coughed the entire session at the temple & felt bad. but it was early and people were falling asleep anyway ;) but for real make time for the temple. siblings- get limited use recommends and go do baptisms. i promise you will feel the spirit so strongly. do it!
conference was AAAAMAAAZING! holy smokes. it was so awesome. i felt the spirit soo many times and i took about 12 pages of notes. hahah but i loved it. we basically had all of saturday and sunday dedicated to conference. it was nice to just relax (sortof) and watch the prophet and his apostles speak. the lord is so mindful of all of us. the missionaries are truly flooding the earth and i am so excited for my life after the mission. i have gotten so much personal revelation and whatnot about that and GOD IS SO GOOD. i love this gospel, prayer, and the spirit. the temple is so important and so is being obedient. i know this is true, the church is true and we have a living prophet who is the mouth piece of the LORD! listen to his council and come unto christ!!!! also- MARLEY AND MAD, watch the young womens broadcast. asap. its amazing. actually- everyone watch it. i loved it and president uctdorf gave an awesome talk. please bless the lil girl that said the opening prayer tho- she was soo righteous- she will probably be a prophets wife one day. hahaha youll know what i mean once you watch it.
marley- i saw your phone! hahahaha too bad. but be a better kid! dont make it hard on mom and dad. just enjoy being a kid. id go back anytime if i could. seriously. & your letter cracked me up. so thank you :)
