GENERAL CONFERENCE MAKES IT TO THE PHILIPPINES!

HELLO everyone!

This week we finally got to watch General Conference and it was AMAZING!!!! I loved every talk in it and felt like it was exactly for me! I hope everyone got a chance to watch it! Some of the things talked about was how dark our world is becoming and how we need to become better disciples of Christ and have him be the center of our lives and our families lives. Also how life will never be easy but through God anything is possible so we just need to rely on him! Also how we need to keep the Sabbath day holy! It may not seem fun or convenient but I know it will be true peace and joy into you and your families live. I love the question asked "What is keeping me from progressing" we all need to ask ourselves this question because we always need to be progressing in our lives and striving to do our best to draw closer to god. Also how God does answer prayers but he doesn't answer prayers that are out of curiosity we need to be pray with a sincere heart and we WILL receive answers! Conference was absolutely Incredible!

This was hard because we got punted a lot in our lessons so we did our best to find more investigators. It was hard especially going to the whole other side of our area for a lesson just to find out that they aren't even home. But we didn't let that stop us! We met this lady names Cynthia sitting on the side of the road watching her daughters play with their friends so we went to talk to her and she said we could come back and visit her. The next night we were planning and decided we wanted to go visit her but for some reason we could not remember her name or couldn't find her information in our planners so we just went to the area that we remembered she said she lived and we found this other lady named Linda and she helped us find Cynthia and as a result we were able to teach them both and now have a return appointment. It is so amazing to see the lords hand in our work. If we had remembered where we wrote her information in our planner we would have never met Linda and been able to teach her. God works in mysterious ways but his way is always the best!

A mission is one of the hardest things that I have ever done but also the most rewarding. People here just always make me happy and laugh. We always have so much fun and I love sharing this amazing gospel and helping people come closer to their savior Jesus Christ! I know this church is true and is the only way we can return back into the arms of our loving heavenly father! Thanks for all the support and prayers! LOVE YOU ALL!
