So I haven't written in a long while.... so I'm a gonna start again. I found a friends blog and stalked it like a creepy person and then I came to the conclusion... I like blogs. Soooo here I go again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shout out to the 36 page views in URUGUAY today. That was pretty cool. Oh and one person in Russia who read my blog. You're cool too. And will probably never see this. Oh well. haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sundays are my faaavvvvv... now what to write about. Let's start with all the tender mercies from God. Soooo 2 weeks ago (i know that's a while ago but be patient it's a good story) I was stressed-ish and everyone knows the perfect way to destress is to play spikeball. Actually a lot of people don't know that BUT they SHOULD because spikeball has been like life for me this summer. So I got some friends and went to play spikeball.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Spice Up Your Summer with Spikeball" src="http://kh4sm1gbnkm2rv0bs3hbwfmj.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/spikeball_680x300-680x300.jpg" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Because this is basically us... minus the beach... and the sand... and the almost coordinating shirts and the stick looking thing sticking out of the guy in green's back that looks like the end of a tennis racket which come to think of it is probably just his belt... So basically us as I said.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aaaannnd as I was backing into my parking spot (my dad has already told me 90% of accidents are from backing, k i know and ill be better) i didn't see the car behind me due to them parking way closer to the curb than me and me only looking out of one mirror (k again I KNOW that's dumb but everyone is dumb sometimes ya hypocrites don't judge me ;) and i totally bumped into the car behind me and about started to cry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WELL tender mercy number uno: I get out of my car and for some bizarre reason my car is fine, their car doesn't look like it's been touched and I said about 8943879423087423 prayers of thanks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't worry I left a note still on the window shield, then played spikeball. An hour or so later I see one of my friends running by and he yells a hello and we say hello back. Then we finish playing spikeball. As we're heading out I see that the car behind me that I hit left and I don't have a return note on my car so I'm feeling home free! I started to laugh because I was like wouldn't that be funny if it was my friend that just ran by's car? hahahahahahah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so TENDER MERCY number 2! If you're going to hit someones car, try to hit your friends, they tend to me more forgiving. Except don't hit your sarcastic friend's car like I did or they'll start to tell you their light wasn't working right and is crooked now and as you start to total costs in your head they'll tell you they were joking and you'll threaten them within an inch of their life. yup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the moral of this story came from Church today, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elder Bednar shared this at his second time speaking in general conference:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div data-aid="28829594" id="p4" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Zoram, "noto sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: center;">
This afternoon I want to describe and discuss a spiritual impression I received a few moments before I stepped to this pulpit during the Sunday morning session of general conference last October. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf had just finished speaking and had declared his powerful witness of the Savior. Then we all stood together to sing the intermediate hymn that previously had been announced by President Gordon B. Hinckley. The intermediate hymn that morning was “Redeemer of Israel” (<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hymns,</em> no 6).</div>
<div data-aid="28829595" id="p5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Zoram, "noto sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: center;">
Now, the music for the various conference sessions had been determined many weeks before—and obviously long before my new call to serve. If, however, I had been invited to suggest an intermediate hymn for that particular session of the conference—a hymn that would have been both edifying and spiritually soothing for me and for the congregation before my first address in this Conference Center—I would have selected my favorite hymn, “Redeemer of Israel.” Tears filled my eyes as I stood with you to sing that stirring hymn of the Restoration.</div>
<div data-aid="28829596" id="p6" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Zoram, "noto sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: center;">
Near the conclusion of the singing, to my mind came this verse from the Book of Mormon: “But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance” (<a class="scripture-ref" href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/1.20?lang=eng#19" old-href="../../../scriptures/bofm/1-ne/1.html?verse=20&lang=eng#p20" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #147ea7; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.3s;">1 Ne. 1:20</a>).</div>
<div data-aid="28829597" id="p7" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Zoram, "noto sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: center;">
My mind was drawn immediately to Nephi’s phrase “the tender mercies of the Lord,” and I knew in that very moment I was experiencing just such a tender mercy. A loving Savior was sending me a most personal and timely message of comfort and reassurance through a hymn selected weeks previously. Some may count this experience as simply a nice coincidence, but I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are real and that they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Often, the Lord’s timing of His tender mercies helps us to both discern and acknowledge them.</div>

So want to know why i entitled my blog post oh life? ill tell you.<br />
don't fret.<br />
So i had a companion once who i loved more than anything. She is a filipina who i call sister dela torre :) she had a knack for coming up with sayings that made absolute no sense... but if you think about it most sayings don't. for example: we americans are always saying oh man (who came up with this.. honestly. oh man. probably the wife of someone) but instead of oh man she would say OOOOH men women children... haha. later in the mission i ran into her and her new saying was oh life. she said it used to be oh life eternal but someone told her that's not good to say. so she shortened it to oh life! and that's how I'm feeling!<br />
<br />
Life likes to beat you down ya'll... recently my best friend and younger sister and counselor and listener of all my problems has left me for the glorious purpose of serving a mission, in the blessed land of oregon. yay verily yay (from the court jester ya'll, watch it and you'll get my quote) Much more stressing than that is my baby nephew, Asher Moses Barney has had heart surgery and he's just a week old... since then some complications have risen and the pressure in one of the chambers of his heart has tripled. Guys. He's barely 2 weeks old. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM.<br />
I know God is the God of miracles. His biggest to date yet is probably helping me become who i am right now, man He's patient. But this is a miracles we need too. so pray. pray. pray. add that too a host of other small things i don't care to get into and i feel like the camel and someones just about to place that straw that breaks my back...<br />
<br />
BUT at times like these of course I think of songs like this:<br />

Well believe in that songs so I'm going to go ahead and start listing the tender mercies and blessings the Lord has given me:) :<br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><div style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">
institute: i just went to it tonight ya'll of course i'm going to say that. I have THE most amazing class where i feel God's tender mercies shine through to me as He answers all my questions. Today some unknowing sister shared how her sister, while she was on her mission, had a baby boy. This baby boy was born with only half a heart. It was really troubling to this girl being so far away and not able to help. But she prayed. She felt peace. She knew that her nephew would be ok. Well she's home now. And her baby nephew is crawling around, driving his mum nuts as 1 yr olds tend to do, and being adorable. When she told this story I felt overwhelmed. Little baby Asher, my nephew with heart problems galore and surgery, has recieved a priesthood blessing. I believe God can speak his will through worthy men and I believe my nephew will heal. Whatever the case I know it will all be ok. Because Jesus died for us so families are forever.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"" Many many years ago in Hamburg, Germany lived a young man by the name of Helmuth Hubener</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;" />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Cardo;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being wise beyond his years for a 16 year old. Helmuth was also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.. Helmuth had a </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">very broad</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> outlook on life and talent for overseeing certain current circumstances one faced during the reign of Hitler in Germany.</span></div>
<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Helmuth grew concerned with the power of the rising political party and was disgraced at how they treated foreigners </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">ESP</b><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Jews. Helmuth knew God viewed all his children equally and that such a political group would poison and destroy many lives.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He acquired a small radio ( very illegal during this time to own in Germany ) and every night when his grandmother went to sleep would listen to foreign news reports from the BBC for updates on the war.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His speculations were true! He saw right through the lies that Hitler was telling the citizens in Germany</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"></b><br /><div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;">For example: </b></div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"></b><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">German broadcasts: Germany proves successful with the bombing of British air craft carrier. No survivors for Britain</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The truthful BBC report:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ship still afloat, </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">noone injured.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Becoming more concerned as time went on and as the political group grew stronger. He became determined to expose Hitler for the liar he truly was.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although only 16 years of age Helmuth began to print </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">VERY</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> bold messages degrading the political party in hopes to help his fellow Germans learn the truth..</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Helmuth later let two of his best friends in on his plans as hope for reinforcement .. One young man being Rudi Wobbe.. Only 15 years old at the time.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Together these 3 young men printed red leaflets and painted the city of Hamburg red late at night hanging the bulletins along all the streets</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> A crime that at that the time was viewed to be the most</span><b style="font-family: inherit;"> SERIOUS </b><span style="font-family: inherit;">of sins for a German to commit.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A popular known saying was " he who fights for his country may die, but he who betrays his country must die"</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Noone dared even whisper anything but pleasing thoughts about Hitler.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One day while at his </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_241143400" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: inherit; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> church services Rudi Wobbe noticed his friend Helmuth..did not show up..</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Their nightmare had happened.. Helmuth had been caught by the police and arrested.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Weeks later.. Rudi too was caught and arrested.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The story goes on that all 3 young men faced weeks of interrogation, beatings, and imprisonment in hopes to get them to admit their crimes.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Not allowed to communicate one with another or to recover in-between beatings.. They endured the harsh punishments and were later all brought before the </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">dreaded</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> " blood court" in Berlin.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Blood Court in Berlin was where only the most serious of criminals were taken..</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here stood 3 young LDS young men to fight for their freedom as well as their lives.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;" />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first called to the stand was Helmuth Hubener. Witness reports on the trial explained Helmuths performance to be</span><i style="font-family: inherit;"> "unforgettable".</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #5d5d5d; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.4039993286133px; text-align: center;" />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just a young boy he stood confident, and held his own openly and confidently degrading Hitler before his own judges.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Helmuth denied the help of his two friends, stating they were innocent and had nothing to do with what had happened.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Later that night after the trial, Rudi was able to speak one more time with his friend Helmuth. He asked him WHY he would do that!?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why would he take all of the blame when all 3 were obviously guilty.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Helmuth answered:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"> " I have faith enough to know that whatever happens to me.. God knows what I did was right.. and I need not fear"</b></div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;"></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A report the next day was delivered to Rudi Wobbe's Prison cell stating</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Helmuths last words were found in a note he wrote home just minutes before killed.. Stating that he regretted NOTHING...only that before he is to be killed, that he will be forced to break the word of wisdom</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The story of these 3 young men is a famous tale in Germany for War heroes. Hitler feared and was so threatened by the intelligence and testimony in these 3 LDS teens, one faced the most cruel punishment executed during the war.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are to this day many books, monuments and people thankful to these 3 young men.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Including a film now available at Deseret book.. " Three against Hitler"</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rudi Wobbe lived on by the grace of God and spent the remainder of the War in concentration camps and imprisonment. Rudi later was later freed by British soldiers and returned home to Hamburg.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just months later, he was called to serve and labor in the KASSEL, Germany Mission..</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /><div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-left;">“Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval. Courage becomes a living and an attractive virtue when it is regarded not only as a willingness to die manfully, but also as a determination to live decently. A moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh.

maraming sinasabi hindi nila naiintindihan ang tagalog... kaya magenglish ako
sa email na ito kasi magaling ang mga pinoy sa english. yeah so this week was
AWESOME. you know how everyone talks about "adjusting" when you get
home? yeah it doesn't exist. you're former life adjusts to the new you not you
back to your former life. don't slow down. the Lord didn't invest so much into
you just to get some others baptized. He also did it to convert you. so stay
that way. I'm working to do that. So today me and my sisters went proselyting!
... like RS style... hahah as in we baked a bunch of pumpkin chocolate chip
cookies and took them to people we didn't know in the neighborhood. scared. me.
to. death. I dunno why its so much easier talking to people you don't
even know in a foreign language then you're neighbors you've known all your
life but that's ok... we're facing those fears with faith :) we showed up at
one house gave them cookies and they gave us pie. pwd rin iyan! :) hahah parang
ang mga benefits ng gawain ng missionero eh? haha. but it really felt good to
feel that fear from Satan and his minions and just go no. im going to go out
and fellowship the ward anyway. Never let fear paralyze you. go forward with
faith relying on the Lords power available to you through prayer. AND I TAUGHT
MY FIRST LESSON AS A MISSION PREP TEACHER. best. calling. EVER. hahah i love my
life. there's so many people to help and so much of the gospel to study. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> mmm k so sa
linggo na ito ito ang nangyari. meron akong kaibigan sa college noon. rm siya.
pero ngayon naging inactive siya. pero hindi kong nalaman iyan noong umuwi ako.
pero parang lagi nasa isip ko siya. naisip ko active pa ba siya or hindi. kaya
nafacebook ko siya. sabi ko punta ka sa homecoming ko! tapos walang reply. kaya
tinext ko siya. sabi niya. sa totoo hindi na ako aktibo sa simbahan. sabi niya
may patotoo pa ako pero nawawala ang lakas ng pananampalataya ko. sabi ko AYOS!
may patotoo pa. kailangan lang natin palakasin ang pananampalataya mo para
magiging aktibo ka. sabi niya iyan ang ipinakapositibong tugon na narinig ko sa
pagiging inactive ako. hahahah. pero tapos sabi ko kailangan mong magsimula sa
pagbabasa mo. sabi niya sige gawin ko iyan kung magpaalaala ka sa akin na
magbasa. sabi ko siyemps! iyan ang ginagawang ko sa 18 buwan! tapos nagpaalaala
ako sa kanya at isang umaga tapos tinext niya ako at sinabi na I read a little.
i didn't have time for a lot. but for the first time in a long time i felt a
little bit of the spirit :) yayyayayayya SO-brang masaya ako. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

nakapunta ako sa isang sayaw. so dati napakasaya sa akin ng mga sayaw ng
school. pero itong beses masaya pa rin siya pero parang hollow ang kasiyahan
ko. hindi siya lubos. fleeting. temporary. tapos noong nakabalik sa appartment
ng adding ko (sleepover!) nandiyan ang room mate niya... hindi pa siya
member... YEEESSSS. (rare iyan kc sa byu kami!) fresh meat siya! kaya
inimbitahan namin siyang magbasa sa amin. tapos kinakausapan namin ang book of
mormon. tapos nalubos ang kasiyahan. man... talagang swerteng swerte kayo na
full time missionero pa kayo... (most of you). don't be trunky and use every
day because nothing tops that joy! AND ISN'T CONFERENCE AWESOME. yeeeaaah.
still catching up on watching all of it... eh. peace!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

CONFERENCE. YOU SHOULD BE YOU LUCKY DOGS THAT GET TO SEE IT THIS WEEK. say a
prayer of thanks. right now. you get to listen to the spokeman for Jesus Christ
Himself. so for this week....<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> for exchanges
with sister elder. we met an athiest. this is the VERY FIRST true athiest ive
met on my mission... 2 weeks before i leave. blew. my. mind. she just said God
and Christ don't exist. Sister Elder asked then who created you and gave you
life?? she said me (LIES FROM SATAN START WITH SELF GLORY "here am I, send
ME, and surely I will do it therefore give ME thy honor" status) um that's
false you can't give your self life any more than I can give myself the ability
to fly. So that was bizarre. she just seemed so dark and depressed and with out
hope in the world. She was even wearing black. It fit. She couldnt believe we
were happy here in this country that she hates because its so poor. I assured
her I'd never been happier. She still wouldn't believe me. She basically
thought that money brings happiness and everything in this world is set. Your
happiness depends on where you're born, etc. She's got no famiy she'll admit to
and she's about the saddest with out any degree of hope creature ive ever met.
I prayed for her. LIFE WOULD BE SO LAME WITH OUT THE GOSPEL. it literally would
be like pointless to live. why live if we don't know why? or where we're going?
oh people NEED THE GOSPEL. so much. but sister elder after she walked away was
like that hurt! SHE JUST CALLED MY SAVIOR A NO ONE(all this said in her figiian
accent) and i was like amen to that. (this after she bore a very very powerful
testimony of Christ) I love sister elder. She's magaling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was AWESOME. no one would let us in and we got punted but that just helped us
OYM all the more :) I LOVE TO OYM. It makes me feel empowered. Ill do that my
whole life<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">also we were in a
district meeting and i was as typical asking a lot of questions about business
and announcements and how things should work then one elder (whom i really
respect... he's a good man) said jokingly why do you care you're going
home? and some others pitched in similar comments and i just laughed it off and
kept asking questions. but later in personal study i read this quote from elder
scott i think that says a true friend is someone who makes it easier to live
the gospel of Jesus Christ. And while everyone is asking me how im going to
party this last week or saying why do you still care my family is the ones
saying work till the end and don't think about us till you're home. thanks for
being real friends family and always encouraging me to do my best :) you don't
know how lucky i feel to be part of your family :) HANSENS WOOOOO<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hmm hmm... i dunno what my life is... haha so we were teaching that family that
ive mentioned before... and we prayed a bunch then taught them sabbath day
which we knew was going to be a problem because they always sell peanut butter
at palengke (market) and sunday is palengke day as in everyone comes to buy...
well at first the tatay was like yeah i guess God is more important than
selling peanutbutter... then he realized we were asking to give up working on
sunday at the palengke on palengke day completely and you could just see it in
his face as he searched for excuses and such to battle our doctrine.. well then
we left and said its not so important if we should work on sunday or not whats
important to know is if this is the true church of God and if the BOM is true
because then you'll believe what we're telling you. So we left 3 nephi 13 and
told them to pray to know. we come back 3 days later... </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

didn't even get to say the opening prayer before he launched into matt 12 which
really didn't have to do with it at all and talked about how the laws of God
must conform to culture basically and to peoples jobs. He even said we can't
tell a man working to earn money for his family that faith will fill your
belly. faith will give you pamasahe. (money for fare) i was so filled
with indignant frustration at his false doctrine i cut in and said IT CAN. what
of the 5000 fed with fishes and bread and of the widow with only a handful of
meal and a tiny bit of oil (1 kings 17) and then i said brother have you ever
prayed to know? he looked uncomfortable for a minute then said well sunday
should really be like this... yada yada yada. i asked him again later if he'd
prayed to know and again he shot off topic. we got literally 5 minutes in edge
wise in a 45 minute bash. but we didn't argue cuz that wouldn't help anything.
oh but man oh man... if i hadn't been trying to be Christlike I would have been
ALL OVER IT. hahaha ;) we just told them we'd come back next time. ONE
DAY sister brewer and i feel they will be SUPER masipag members. as soon as
they get over the pride and put their trust in God. Oh theyre so solid they
just lack the faith. they just HAVE TO PRAY TO KNOW. im going to say that was
in the top 3 most frustrating heart breaking lessons ive had... BUT THE WORK
GOES FORTH. and I LOVE IT :) </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

well last week after manila we got off the plane and we were catching a jeep so we could go to the mission office, well we accidentally heralded (what a christmas type word to use.. ps: its sept meaning people are putting up their christmas lights here and singing christmas songs at church sometimes) 2 jeeps, well whoops, but the one had been their way longer so we jumped in the old mans jeep, well the other driver got TICKED. and elder tate is just hanging onto the back of the jeep and this other driver drives up behind super close to hitting elder tate and honks and is freaking out. well we stop and he stops and our driver about gets in a fight with their driver. but some other drivers interceeded and elder bledsoe gets out to go try to be a peacemaker and everyone is like NO get IN the jeep. we finally take off again with the other driver redefining tail gaiting on our tails then he zooms around us and we don't see him for 2 minutes until we spot him parked on the side of the road. well sister rico starts screaming duck duck! so i figure he's got a gun and then we drive past and we here a thwack! i look up to make sure no one is dead and no one is... because he swung a broom at us... i was just like I THOUGHT HE HAD A GUN. and everyone else laughed at me. breaking up a rather tense situation. and in the end i still gave our driver a pamphlet. so moral of the story: road rage is of the devil. but even if you are in that situation you can still do missionary work. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
so just to be clear. IT WAS JUST A BROOM. don't go crazy because i thought he had a gun. haha. just so its not like when i had dengue and typhoid and everyone thought i got the bird flu.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
other story we were planning for the day and i had this guy we randomly talked to on the road come to mind. so we scheduled him in as back up. well later that day its raining and we're walking past his house so i go lets try it! we do nothing more than walk up to the house and they IMMEDIATELY say come in sisters, then the guy goes and shuts off the tv and the other goes and puts a shirt on and we're just like what is happening. they tell us later they only were all there that day because it was raining and work was canceled. the Spirit KNOWS. so listen to Him. im learning that more and more. Miracles really do happen if you'll just follow up. i think i really just realized that this transfer. </div>

I CAN UNDERSTAND THEM. yes. want to know why? im in manila... as in kfc, subway, carpet, hot water, air con, americanized manila. for fingerprinting. all the out going missionaries do it. we flew on a plane that was cool. but want to know whats the coolest?? OUR FAMILY THAT CAME TO CHURCH. they are a blessed miracle. in my whole mission none of my baptisms have been people i actually oymed to then taught then baptized (as in the whole experience) but i found this family :) false. i followed the spirit who pointed them out to me. But it really feels cool to finally know what its like to become an instrument and recognize the spirits voice. but anyway. every time we teach them they just go off about how all our doctrine lines up and this last week not just the 3 teens came but the 2 parents as well. they are those who it was said they are looking for the truth but know not where to find it. they stopped going to church for 3 months at the other and prayed God would send them the right ones. BOOM. we invited ourselves in their porch. we teach. they feel the spirit. they come to church. they give us peanutbutter (did i mention they make peanutbutter for a living) I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER. but not a fraction of what i love them... that made no sense. bear with me. my love for them... there we go. also.. we saw one of the recent converts that dropped off the face of the earth show up in my area (he's the nephew of my first baptism who also disappeared) and im literally probably the only missionary still in the mission who knows who he is. THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES -pres Monson. yeah i asked him how my rc is? oh... he's dead. WHAT. what what what??? when he disappeared and went to manila he died cuz his family was no longer taking care of him and he didn't have the best health... its still kinda like whooooa. i dunno what to think. this is rather a boring letter but ill really try harder next week. just know i am good. i LOVE THE LORD. I LOVE THE FILIPINOS AND THE PINES. and i love you all :) </span><br />

ok back ground we just found out recently: the dad is a former priest of some sort. well the last 3 months theyve taken a break because they have been really confused about all the different religions. they mimicked one of them. they said their daughter went to one and *he throws his hands in the air* wooooo woooo woooo. is apparently how their worship goes. yeah well theyve been praying this whole time that the Lord would send His true church to them. well then we showed up and initially they kinda ignored us. then i asked if we could come in their gate. they took that as a sign. so we had taught most of them but we finally caught the dad at the end of a lesson with the mom. then we fired off an inspired question: brother will you say the closing prayer?</div>

during the prayer he went OFF about the need for priesthood and how we need Gods authority and about how he KNOWS the book of mormon is true and how the world is going to be filled with this book and eventually we'll get into every nation and stuff. and im sitting there like a southern baptist in my head thinking AMEN! HALLELUJAH! hahah mostly about 90% of the prayer was truth. he gets done and theyre all in tears and they just spewed how they've been waiting for this and all this other stuff. i was like yes yes yes. will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized?? they accepted but they were working on some project that was going to take another 2 weeks before they could come to church. well we went back yesterday. somehow they got the project finished and they're coming next week. they also went off how the bom must be true because the dad has translated a skinny pamphlet from english to ilocano and it took him 3 years. i was like it took Joseph Smith around 60 days! they were all ITS TRUE. i was like yes... but READ it first! and pray! haahahah. this is a last transfer miracle. that's about how this whole last week has gone. Heavenly Father loves me :) i saw vilma the mom and palenke (market) and she bought us bananas. they are so excited and SO AM I. </div>

AND MARIE GOT BAPTIZED!!!! SHE'S BEEN AN INVESTIGATOR SINCE 2007 AND FINALLY IT HAPPENED. IT JUST TOOK SOME BUGGING PEOPLE ABOUT PAPER WORK AND WE SOLVED IT. SHE GOT MARRIED AND NOW BAPTIZED AND CONFIRMED. GAHAHAH. she is soooo different. the Atonement is so amazing. you don't even know. you take people and you think theres no WAY they will ever change and then they live the gospel and they DO. she physically looks different. she didn't do anything but the spirit is just with her and she is happy. i can not explain it. but the gospel is true and the Atonement changes. repentance is so cool. I know its changed me :) PLUS we had a family except the parents come to church for the 2nd sunday in a row. you walk into their lessons and like you just go whoa. when we asked about if they had questions at the end they asked stuff like how can we be saved? how do you baptize? is ishmael with all the daughters in the bom the same at the ishmael in the bible? who are the angels giving Joseph Smith the priesthood? Is coke bawal? is coffee bawal? (but its fine cuz their mom has a health problem so they don't drink that stuff at their house anyway) and like 20 more. i just sit their smiling the whole time. man sometimes when my faith really starts to waver like is oyming really worth it? (opening your mouth) then Heavenly Father shows mercy and leads me to this napakamagandang family. they're all coming around. </div>

FEAR IS THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH AND THEY CANNOT COEXIST IN YOUR THOUGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. EITHER FAITH WILL TAKE OVER OR FEAR WILL START TO. SO PRAY WHEN CHALLENGES COME. SHARE THE GOSPEL ITS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS. IT SAVES FAMILIES.</div>

and also " courage is the word we need to hear and hold near tour hearts- courage to turn our backs oin temptation, courage to lift up our voices in testimony to all whom we meet, remembering that everyone must havge an opportunity to hear the message. It is not an easy thing for most to do this. But we can come to believe in the words of Paul to Timothy: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testomny of our Lord." </div>

Im on exchanges in piddig (beautiful mountainous area with even more awesome people) and we go to this family. the mom and dad are suuuuper active and they have 5 kids. the 3 girls are members the 2 boys are not. but man... i love them. we walk in and one of their non member sons is all WHAZ UPPPP!!! HHHEEEY MAN. haha he's like 30. i giggled half this lesson and almost cried the other half. anyway back to how it went. we get in there and we were just going to share to the parents but then he was there and when we were all brother we're going to teach you! he grabs his face and says he has a tooth ache. i was all oh really? then he shoots both hands in the air and spurts out LIARS GO TO PIDDIG! yeaaah! but he didn't leave. and i was all brother have you ever been taught? nope daw. (ok not ONCE in 16 years has he been taught cuz he always ran out of lessons dati) so i go ok we've got one shot what do we share. RESTORATION SIYEMPS its our unique message to the world. so we start in on christs life and go through the restoration and i kid you not ive never come closer to crying in a lesson. the spirit was like KKKAAAABOOOM. IM HEEEEERRRE!! yeah you are. man he was feeling it too. he's tried virtually every religion so he's super magaling especially in the bible and stuff. but he was like prepared. at the end of the lesson i was like brother will you pray to know?? and he said like this and gets on his knees and throws his hands in the air and starts chanting something. hahaha no. brother will you really pray and he got serious and said yes. and then i said will you get baptized if the spirit says its true? affirmative. oh man. i can't explain how awesome it was. after the lesson his mom comes up to us and tells us the whole never been taught in 16 years thing and she just looks like she's going to die of gratitude. man we answered this mothers prayer of over a decade. you just feel how thankful she was when she shook our hands. i went out floating on cloud nine. WE WERE THE THUNDEROUS ANGELS in the alma the younger story. sent to answer the prayer of a faithful parent. k so we weren't exactly shaking the ground and speaking in a voice that could divide bone and marrow asunder (we'll practice teach that skill next week for sure) but it was definately a moment when you look up and youre just like wow. Heavenly Father loves His children. well thats about it</div>

k no. but thats what was in my heart yesterday (sunday). you know what i hate? when people make fun of other people. it BUGS me. bad. no. ok heres how it went. we were at church and theres a lady in the ward who has a mental illness of some sort but it's not obvious. She tends to sleep through meetings, and wear shirts too tight and skirts to high to church. in relief society we had a lesson on eternal marriage. one of the sisters made it a point to say that she was still single and waited for everyone else to laugh. then in the other class she was called out for falling asleep. then in sacrament all the members turned to eachother and laughed when she sang SUPER LOUD. stop. stop stop STOP. it was all i could do not to get up and rebuke the whole congregation. i was so mad. she's also the ONLY member in relief society there on time. she's also the ONLY member who is doing her family history. she's also the ONLY member who sings loud and proud the sacrament hymn. and the only member who talks to us before church starts and says sisters there are SO many Less actives down where i live. they are so kawawa. what the point of their membership if they are just going to be LA. let's go visit them. i said what time? she says saturday. i say DEAL. oh wait... the elders have a baptism on saturday. she says sisters it's ok. ill just go visit them anyway. they need people to help them come back. UMMM YEESSSS. We are commanded to LOVE our neighbor. that is the second commandment only to love your God. how can people say prayers and give talks about love then mock their brothers and sisters. that's not going to fly. Not with the Lord and NOT with me. we're going to talk to some leaders.</div>

IT WAS THE FATTEST DOG I HAVE EVER SEEN. hahahahahaha i laughed and then asked if i could take a picture of it. i don't usually do that but this thing was HUGE. so fat and cute hahaha. </div>

well piddig came to our apartment on monday cuz there was a land slide that almost got to their apartment. i was just a little one though... daw. and i was just grumbling in my head like how long are they going to be here, are they going to eat all our food and what not. being selfish and lame. but then president pulls up with sister barrientos and all the sisters in the back. and all my murmuring feelings faded away. and he gets out and cheerfully says "We brought you the refugees!" and i was like "that's good cuz this is camp" hahah. man he and sister sacrificed their whole evening to rescue some scared kawawa sisters. and I love those sisters. so i gave myself a mental slap and welcomed them in. </div>

this weeks line came in a law of chastity lesson... haha isn't that just the lesson where all good missionary moments originate (if you've seen the district you'd understand) hahaha but we're teaching a bunch of kids and we're just like so in short the law of chastity is you have to be married before... and hannah (shes 8) goes before kissing!!! uh... hahah yeeeahhh... kinda. haha we were going to say live in but we just left it at that. \</div>

Mean while her LA cousin grandpa and grandma are just sitting there listening to this. And i kid you not had she not been past feeling ANYONE could have felt the spirit that entered the room. we were so desperate trying to save her soul I just felt this surge so i prayed and told Him I'm going to open my scriptures (this never ever ever works for me. but this time... it did) and read the first thing i see. Well i open to Mosiah 3 and the first thing i saw was verse 10. which talks about how christ rose on the thrid day and i read that until verse 13. Shes not changing though... so im thinking. no. we've lost. but then the LA (less actives) in the room start being like girl what are you thinking? haven't you read the bible? and virtually every one of them bore their testimony to her that Christ lives in their own way. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />

We strengthened the faith of 3 LA in Jesus Christ. And as long as We're on the Lord's side we can never truly lose. Cuz this is the truth. </span><br />

other good moments: We go and teach another LA and an investigator. so we follow up? did you guys read? "yes" mmmm... whatd you read about (our one investigator we'll call him bob) says confidently "wars!" ahhh... never heard that before. we don't let you get off that easy. who was warring? ".... i don't remember" well what book was it in at least "....*awkward silence*" sister ieremia goes i bet it was 1st nephi? and he goes"yeah THAT was it" hahahahah THERE IS NOT ONE WAR IN FIRST NEPHI. WO UNTO THE LIAR. hahahah i just started to laugh and they might have got the smallest bit upset but it was so funny. </div>

FINE. haha so i was like sister lets talk to him. so we're all yo bro. how's life.... yada yada yada.... we're missionaries! "im INC" well that's GREAT! we're mormons! (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) he says its bawal for us to talk to other religions... i asked him do you really believe your church is true. "yes" ....more awkward staring except this time its more like an assesment of his soul on my part. well then i said we have a pamphlet... and i went on to share about the restoration and stuff and his eyes were glued and something in his head (the spirit) was like yes yes yes. and then i asked again brother can we come back. he said he's not there too often cuz of work. basta. we'll try brother! the spirit guided us to him so we better at least give it our very best effort. that's pretty much how the work goes. every day there are miracles and happiness and apostasized people that have gone back to catholic.... eh hahaha. mostly i just love pictures of Christ, my planner has His picture, my journal, my study journal, I've got a poster from a friend magazine from the 90's hanging in my room. Im a filipino now now, im a filipino now now. bangity bang. bangity bang (its the im a little airplane now song... you SHOULD know it haha) yeah more adventures and greater creativity next week friends and fam :) LOV EYOU MUCH MORE THAN I LOVE FRIED BANANAS. WHICH IS TO SAY A LOT. as in ( a filipino saying they say to mean super... but it doesn't mean that. but HERE IT DOES. hahahah ) </span><br />

Well i wasn't having that so I went at them with the bible. They came at me with their fists. I won. hahaha no. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />

No we played bull rush on the cement for a zone activity and me being the graceful, quick reflexed missionary i am, decided to go for a running trip... leading home with my shoulder and my face. now the right side of my face looks like i surgically implanted a golf ball there. im not lady gaga. im a missionary.

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />

But sometimes when you really really need something He answers right away." and in your own head you're all 2 nephi 32:8-9!! and elder Scott's talk!! and then these angels pop out from behind her chair and start singing hallelujahs and stuff and you're just like quiet angels! later well party over this found soul. she's currently being taught by these other missionaries that don't believe Jesus is the Son of God. .... I could say a lot of things about that doctrine... and those preaching it. But instead I just told her that guess what?? JESUS IS THE CHRIST. AND THIS CHURCH IS TRUE AND YOU JUST GOT TO READ THIS BOOK. and the angels kept singing and she commited to come to church. woooo. </span><br />

I told sister Barrientos. She's a nurse. She checked up on me that night. I told her it was red and blue and purple and green, itchy and swelling and that I need to probably be confined (ie go to the hospital) She told me to take an antehystamine... any brand willl do. </span><br />

OH AND I WENT TO AN ISLAND PARADICE NAMED AFTER MY SISTER. PLAYED SOME BEACH VOLLEYBALL AND FIGURED OUT PROBABLY PRETTY CLOSELY WHAT THE CELESTIAL KINGDOM MUST LOOK LIKE. most beautiful things ive ever seen in my life. it was a bit of a sensory over load. </div>

Other thing is it was fast sunday. so i fasted. profound i know. no it was profound actually. I was fasting for charity and courage (because charity is a gift bestowed not like a spiritual muscle you exercise and it gets bigger and stronger... see talks by elder holland and moroni<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2083022724" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:45</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and 46 i think... yata) but anyway. </div>

I got PLLLEEENNTY OF EXPERIENCES on both. on the small scale playing piano for sacrament... on the large scale... ridicule for being obedient to mission rules. you know what president said. its better to offend man than God. pretty sure he was quoting a bunch of apostles. so i walked down the steps feeling like today im going to need to be bold. and i was. on the charity end of things. One of our investigators came to church... she has a small child. well he's kinda makulit so she took him out and walked with him and stuff well after church she looked oddly discontent. I mostly just brushed it off. then that night we went to teach her and she let on that her 500 pesos (like 12 bucks) had got lost at the church when her toddler was playing in her bag. she had gone back and looked for it. wala. well i bore my testimony about finding thing and praying. she said that was all the money they had for food. we told her we'd go and look for it. </div>

after the lesson she VERY timidly asked if she could borrow money. from us and our fellowshipper. they are SO poor. she said they only had a cup left of rice. man. my heart. i didn't know if it was ok so we asked president if we could stay out later and look for her money at the church if it was even unlocked. he said ok. i prayed so hard the church would even be open. it was :) mind you we've been fasting all day and our church is on top of a hill then theres another 80+ steps to the top. i was dyyyyiiinnng. hahah but it was ok. we searched that place up and down and prayed. nothin. man. ok. well president texts us later that night and asked if we found the 500. we said no but that we wanted to go back this morning and look again. he said if you don't find it you can just give her the 500 or buy her grocceries ( my president is so CHRISTLIKE) He told us we could be charitable before I even asked if we could give her money (i need to be more charitable) but we gave her money this morning. she was so shy to take it. but she texted us later saying maraming maraming salamat. long story short. people are more important than money. i want to volunteer at an old people home, a homeless shelter and the developmental center when i get back. I LOVE PEOPLE. I LOVE THIS WORK. AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!!</div>

todays miracle came after a meeting. President was took us all to inasal (super yummy chicken and calamansie resraunt deal) but anyway sister ieremia and i didn't bring the pouch (the thing we store our fare ie: pamasahe in.) so we were poor. we were digging in our bags for loose change and came up with 91 pesos. well usually its 50 pesos to go to the mission office and another 70 or so to get back to our appartment near NFA. I was like no WORRIES. its oooook. We'll just pray and bargain. so we did. the first guy let us get there to the mission office to grab supplies for 40 pesos. (while there I found a UKULELE... and remembered I forgot all the songs i once knew, but i was happy... so if you want to send me like how can i be or i am a child of God chords/ copy paste the music to an attatchment i wont complain :) then i can play it next p day over there) ANYWAY. after we got supplies a tricee driver pulls up (go figure why all my miracles happen to happen concerning tricees) and i just started praying in my head please take 50 please take 50.. "brother makano hanggang NFA?" how much to NFA. he thinks for a minute then says... 40. </div>

Another little mind blowing moment came for me<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1703863549" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on thursday</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>or<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1703863550" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">friday</span></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(i dont remember exactly which.... old woman status) but we were walking and we were finding because we were SO punted. most punted i've been since coming to laoag. We'd walk up to people (we're literally 4-5 feet away) and be like hello! and if they didn't get up and walk away they'd just ignore we existed. kinda like those soldiers that walk around the palace in england and don't make a face... yeah. these people could put them to shame. its like talking to a wall. so we did that for like 2 hrs and found near the end a part member lady who's husband was a member before he died. and she never listened to the missionaries before but now.. she really pondered everything we were saying. (que out of the world music and me thinking someone in the spirit world is helping) but my crazy moment was when i was thinking man... we have the knowledge that can CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND SAVE YOUR SOUL AND MAKE YOU HAPPY AND GIVE YOU ENDLESS PRINCIPALITIES POWERS AND EXALTATION. YOU SHOULD BE PARADING US ON YOUR SHOULDERS AND GATHERING CROWDS TO LISTEN TO OUR MESSAGE. I was like none of you know this. WHY WONT YOU LISTEN. then i remembered Chirst. He was despised and rejected of men. no He was the one that should have been carried around from crowd to crowd and praised. and yet he was not. so if that was how He was treated then I'm glad to play a small part like that too. BUT WE WILL FIND THE PREPARED WHAHAHAHAHA ;) I love you much. </div>

we also met a dog who was a lion. i don't know if one of its parents was mufasa but this dogs name definately should have been simba (not chow chow... and simba is the root for church (to go to) in tagalog so (english accent) all da bettah!) but this thing had a mane! </div>

also on exchanges in our area i got lost... during lunch. we only have an hour for lunch and we can't be late for studies AND we have to teach before we eat. and NOBODY KNOWS where prito street is!! not even the tricee drivers... so 40 minutes later im stressing and lost and hot... and then MIRACLE. this angel of a tricee man shows up who knows where that is. then i thought i knew where we were while we were directing him and lead him off in the wrong direction. then we got lost again. he just laughed and turned around and asked directions for us and got us exactly to the house. and i forgot to give him a pamphlet! gah! but that was one prayer i forgot to pray but i know Heavenly Father definately sent him to His 2 lost tired stressed (and hungry of course) missionaries. I love Him. </div>

we also met this funny old tatay who swore up and down all his neighbors were mormon and kept asking sister telea if she had a boy friend and how old our dads were. he was a funny... we got a lot of referrals. </div>

Also we taught at this house of a LA (less active) and across the street during the lesson you just hear like a dragon lady going OFF. like ive never heard someone scream so loud... at a child. the kid is just balling inside the house and she is yelling and screaming talking at mock 80 speeds. then you hear her smack the kid and your heart just gets kinda a sick feeling... the same feeling you get when you walk past this old nanay, and she's baliw (crazy... ie she has a mental ilness) and all the little kids are throwing their flip flops at her then running away before she can catch them and just teasing her and laughing. i got so mad on that one i halted one of the leader little kids and told him to be nice to her and gave him a death glare. man if i was his mother... sometimes i have moments where i just am filled with indignant justice and want to call the world to repentance. but im not his mother and im not the police. so ill just keep preaching the thing more powerful then them both. the gospel. I LOVE THIS LIFE LIKE I LOVE DOUGHNUTS. </div>

<div>
well the story for this week is...</div>
<div>
ELDER
ARDERN CAME FOR MISSION TOUR AND BLLLLEEEWWW MY MIND!!! HE IS SO COOL.
he's from new zeland and he's the bomb diggidy. so previously i had a
goal to read the old testament before i came home and do you know what i
was learning in personal study? about 8 chapters on how to quarentine
lepers and such. Go read Leviticus you'll have a ball... pretty sure
that's the book the pharasies went nutso following cuz its a titch
touchy about lots of rules and such. anyway so elder ardern was like
it's not how many times you go through the book of mormon. it's how many
times the bom goes through you. awwww ok. so i slowed down and i spent a
whole study on 4 versus and got a 3 pages of revelation versus the
paragraph i was getting from 10 pages read of the OT. so search the bom.
it's deep. one thing he said something like the bom has deeper doctrine
then you can dig out. anyway. i love the bom. </div>
<br />
<div>
Also a miracle for the week. I TOTES lost my wallet... which had my
camera, all my missionary fund for the month as well as all my personal
money... good thing to lose eh? well im talented like that. soooo of
COURSE ID BE PRAYING. but i went and kneeled and prayed some more. and
then like elder ardern said you can't just pray for sick people. you
have to pray then you have to go do something for them! so i started
tearing the room apart. and sister ieremia too. till she got inspired
and we went in the spare room with the spare desks and opened the
drawers... and there it was! it's a long story how it got there... but
miracles DO happen. </div>
<br />
<div>
As for a funny story... hahaha my shoes got so torn apart the sole
came completely off and my toe was poking through and i ended a morning
of proselyting with only one shoe on looking very socially unacceptable
and thinking yeah... i should buy some new shoes. </div>
<br />
<div>
also i found a tricee driver i remembered from dingras... he gave us a ride. funny thing is <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1285937954" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">noon</span></span>
in dingras i felt i should talk to him and ignored it and felt bad so i
vowed id talk to him the next time i saw him... i didn't see him again.
till NOW. bahahahahah I FREAKED. HIM. OUT. i was sooo happy to see him.
i shoved a pamphlet in his hand and started to testify before he could
speed off. not so interested but i kept my promise ;) he was scared. I
was like brother it's ME. you live in dingras! i want to give you a
pamphlet!!1 so not so smooth... haha im over it. :) love you all!</div>

<br />
<div>
i dunno why the
Lord loves me so much but I'm sure happy he does. So... I'm back in
Laoag. but this is NOT the Laoag I remembered. Lesson wise. It's good.
My comp is sister Ieremia, she's from Kiribati. I love her. She's
teaching me how to be humble and just apply all the good things you see
other people do and not to feel awkward or prideful about applying those
things. hence she's a fast learner and very magaling. and a chatter.
haha i like her. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
ummm... rainy season and baptism season is HERE.
WOOOOO.... makes finding like eh. but its oooookkk. Because we have this
one investigator. he's like a tatay who's 74. he's all hunched. like he
walks at a 90 degree angle almost and he doesn't have teeth and he's
about the cutest thing you ever did see. He just get's so happy about
everything we teach. The other day we were teaching him and the rooster
they were going to get for dinner they had just tied up it's legs and
it's wings. but it was alive and kicking. it let us know it too. in the
middle of the lesson it jumps OFF the table and practically lands on us
and is just squacking and making a racket and tatay takes it and bends
its neck and some angle i know is not right and puts it's head under
it's wing and we just continue teaching like nothing happened. crazy
chicken... distraction haha. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
What I learned this week? most everything
has limits because we're still just weak mortals. strength, patience,
the amount of fudgie bars there are in the world. But i realized your heart
doesn't. no matter how many people i meet i still have room in my heart
for them. and i still love equally (not degrading) the people i met
before. i think thats why Heavenly Father has a bajillion million annak
(children) because you're heart can do that. also your brain has the
uncandid capacity to just keep learning and learning. anyways... i just
love you all... and i love all these people. I LOVE MY CALLING. mmmm...
ill never get sick of saying that. THE WORK GOES FORTH. JUMP ON THE
BAND WAGON or get left behind. but thats lame. one more thing i
realized. nothing matters but the gospel and saving peoples souls.
people will forget your face, people will forget if you went to the
olympics, people will forget your name. but they won't forget what you
did for them. or how you made them feel. or if you changed their life
and eternal destiny with the gospel. yup. theres my shpeel. </div>
<br />
<div>
peace. </div>
