This week was probably the first week I had a little home sickness...... Just a bit during studies. I related it back to getting burnt out in wrestling. I can only do things for a certain amount of time and then I need a break. Well that happened to me. I wanted a break but what I did was just pray to the Lord telling him I have no energy to work and to just give me the desire to get back to work and get that desire again. What I felt was more than I ever asked for. I feel fully recharged because of his power again. Its amazing how the Lord helps the Missionaries especially me :)

This week was All Saints Day. We had a curfew at 6 so work was a little slow this week. I really felt the power of the Plan of Salvation. I know where we go at the end of our journey dito sa mundo. For all the Catholics, it was a sad day where everyone goes to the cemetery to mourn for the dead. For me, it was a day of learning and just having the spirit whisper the truthfulness of the Plan. 

I also wanted to tell you about our new investigator :) B, he is an 80 year old man who came as a referral by accident. We happened to walk by him and a member. The member told us to teach him. I am so thankful for the missionaries before me, way back when, who taught him but his baptism didn't continue. He is accepting everything and progressing really well and fast. He has been to church 2 times now and this week we are going to extend an IBD for Nov 30th :) One of the last days for my companion. :) 

The work here is getting better as we include members :) 

I just want you to know that I love the Gospel and I love the Savior. He is my guide and I am in his hands. I am a representative of him. 

I really like the scripture Mosiah 2:22 :) That's my goal, keep the commandments :)  

PS It was so weird not having any Halloween here...... It was kinda lame. ) I miss Halloween but what I am going to miss the most is Black Friday ;) and Thanksgiving!!!!
