Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers :) My lovely mother is always telling about how everyone is always asking about me :) I feel sooo loved. I can feel your prayers when I am walking. Sometimes, I just want to sit down and not work :P I keep walking and teaching :) Anyway, the biggest news, we have another Baptism on the 30th, Sister Marites and her son Manulito :) That is just one of the big blessings from the Lord to us because we have not had very much success until now when my comp is leaving. And we have 3 more planned for next transfer din(also). I really hope I stay in the area. :) It is on one of the last days of my companion's mission. Yep, this is the last week for him. He is an example to me about not becoming trunky and just enduring to the end. He is a very hard worker. Sorry for my English it is starting to go... (Luckily my mom fixes it for me!) Even though my Tagalog is not the best either. We had one of our investigators serve us dinner recently and they took a live chicken and killed it in front of us and then cooked it for dinner. It was interesting. Its starting to just get hot here and there is no rain which is really hard on the rice field workers. They have to work like 24/7 to get water to their fields. On the other hand, I read a quote that changed how I looked at my attitude and how true is my faith to Heavenly Father. Here is part of my letter to president this week, "As President Kimball said, I need to walk to the edge of the light and 2 steps into the darkness. I have done that and my faith has grown. I have this week been working on being creators of circumstances and not a creature of them. It has helped me change my attitude. There are no people to Preach by the way, so lets go find them be a creator of my circumstances. Its always true what you say, attitude affects altitude." That's so true about all of life :) You can either choose to be happy or sad depending on your attitude towards everything :) Like Ether 12:27 we know that Heavenly Father knows are weaknesses and how to make them strong. It is through trials and struggles :) I am thankful for mine :) I know that it always helps me :) So whenever things are looking down I create positive circumstances instead of being creatures of the bad :) Just a little bit of spiritual brain food for you :P
Again thank you for everything and all of your support !!
I love everyone :)
