"The Last Dance"

  Well, it's a bitter sweet moment. I'm writing to you all from a hotel room. Tomorrow we fly to Manila. Wednesday I fly home. I'm at a loss of words. I don't believe I could adequately express my emotions or feelings. I am filled with peace. Which I didn't expect. I've known nothing but one thing for the past 2 years. I had a purpose to fulfill. That purpose was to invite others to come unto Christ. I have come to understand more deeply what that truly means. With understanding comes a responsibility to act upon those things understood. I now understand that nothing changes when I take off this tag. I'm here on earth to hold up my light. To draw others to His light. I love my Redeemer. He saved my soul. I owe everything to him. I'm ready to go where he wants me to go.      I love my mission. It's meant so much to me. I hope you'll give me the chance to tell you about it someday. I'm the happiest I've ever been. It's amazing. I know t...

Spiritual Strength

   Hey ya'll! This past week has been super spiritual and over all just guided by the lord. I'm thankful I get to share it with you!!    We started out the week with exchanges on Tuesday. Elder McArthur and I had a great day! We unfortunately had our day cut short by an earlier dinner appointment but still, I learned so much about how to work more effectively!!     Wednesday in Spanish is Miércoles. If you hear someone say it, and you don't know Spanish, you'd think they said "Miracles"!!! Well maybe that's just me, but our Wednesday was truly a miracle. We had absolutely no clue what to do on Wednesday morning. We tried to call and text our friends but nothing was working. We decided to go to one of our friends a little farther away. Once we got off of our bikes we checked our phone, we saw that we had missed a couple calls and texts from some Elders in our Zone (the farthest area). It was an emergency to say the least. We dropped everything and biked...

A Quick One

We're doing well over here in the Philippines! Fun fact: the national fruit of the Philippines is the carabao mango. It's masarap.      I am a little lazy in the writing emails department right now so this will have to suffice. I know that Jesus Christ us real. He Is Real. I know he paid for the sins of all who have ever or will ever live on this earth. I can't comprehend the extent of his suffering but one thing I have come to understand more fully is the reason for why he did what he did. This is love. His love is like a lighthouse in my life. It guides me in times of trouble and also directs my actions as I journey through this time of my spiritual progression.     I love yall so much and encourage you all to look for his love in your life.
