Just another week :) 

This week has been a normal one for me. Saving souls and all :) I want to share an experience in which I was lead by the Holy Ghost. Our area is one long road and that is it. On the long road, some people's jobs are cracking open oysters and they are on the side of the road everyday. We walk past them multiple times each day. But one of those times, I had a feeling that we needed to talk to them. We did! This led us to finding a whole family and then it turns of that her parents are less active and she has some sisters that are not baptized yet. So, just through following the spirit we found not only 1 but many :) Also, not by coincidence found another sister. She said that she was here on a vacation from Manila. She was super hesitant during the lesson and it seemed to me like she could care less. After the not so best lesson, we asked her when we could come back. She told us the next day. She was there and ready to listen. The spirit told me there was something more on her mind and directed me to ask inspired questions. It turns out that she is having family problems and has been praying fervently for help. We are her answer. Its the best feeling knowing that Heavenly Father answers people's prayers through me as a missionary. Even though I did not know that sister, we were there to help. When people pray and say that we are angels that Heavenly Father has sent to them, it inspires me! People here are so nice. :) We are going to have a baptism next week. :) (If I do not get transferred.) Hopefully, I get to stay here, I love it here too much. 

I hope that you young men and young women are really preparing yourselves. Preparation does not just mean going to a mission prep class but it means becoming a missionary before you get in the field. Get lost in the scriptures and change your lives. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT! It's worth it to change your music and stop doing things that you know are wrong. It's something that I wish I would have known before. There is a big difference between the ones that prepare and ones that don't. I was in between and I wish I would of prepared more. Please Prepare :)

Hope you all are doing well :) 

Love,
