Kumusta!!!!
Kumusta po kayo?
ayoslong!!!!
This week has been soooo soooo crazy. Everything that could go wrong probably went wrong...
I never knew how hard Satan can work and sometimes he even gets what he wants. It is hard for me because I know what I want these people to feel and to know because it makes me so happy. Satan was strong right before my mission, when i was getting ready to go, but he is even more because we are here doing the Lords work. I have so many thoughts running through my mind right now, I don't know where to begin.
So, i will start with some good news. We still have two investigators with IBD's. So we are praying as hard as we can that nothing will go wrong with theirs. But I really find comfort in the scriptures and in my prayers.
We have been having a hard time giving Book of Mormon's away lately and we don't know why, but we have started setting a goal to give at least two out a day.
It rained last night as we walked to our appointment. It was about up to our ankles and looks like it will rain again today. I don't mind the rain, as you all know.
I have started reading the Book of Mormon again, this time I have a project as I am reading. i am marking each time it says repent or be baptized. I am just really curious at how many times it says it. The Prophets and Apostles have said to read with a purpose or to be looking for something as you read, so that is what i am doing.
I am glad that today starts a new week and me and Sister Young are really trying to stay strong and finish this transfer out strong. We have some investigators with some challenges.
I am so grateful for prayer. I can't say it enough. And I have a new understanding for the Atonement. Everyone that I see, everyone that we teach, Christ died for and paid for their sins. When you think of people as individuals in the plan and not just as groups or categories, it makes such a difference in your life. I am loving it here everyday and today we to a Chinese place to eat and it was really good.
I AM having fun. The kids are so much fun and they make me laugh all the time. The members have started having language study at the beginning of MCM and we laugh all the time. It makes my brain explode because all of these Filipino people want to help me learn and they are trying to all speak at the same time. They aren't quiet and when they get excited they really get excited. I have found some people that can actually OUT TALK Courtney!!!!! I didn't think that was possible.
Well only five minutes left, soo....I love you all and miss you. I am grateful for the love and support that you have for me. Thanks for everything and hope all is well with family and friends.
Mahal Kita, Sister Kelli Anderson
