Hi
everyone!
So, 1st
before everything else I just want to give a shout out to my best friend Amanda
McCall who turned 21 this week!!! Happy birthday girlie! I love you so much and
hope you had a wonderful birthday even though it was the first one i haven't
been present at in like 8 years haha :) 2nd Pasensiya I didn't get to write
last week, it was a crazy busy P-day but I have plenty of time today so here's
the update on sister Lowe :) So for starters you could say i'm pretty much a Filipino
chef now. haha not really but I was in charge of going to the market and
cooking this week in our apartment and not to brag or anything but I can hold
my own in my Filipino cooking against the Filipinos in my apartment haha. So
get excited for when I come home because I will be cooking a lot of Philippines
food! I hope you like adobo and fish
haha. So this week we really focused on our less active members in our area
which was really fun! We met a lot of people who have not been to church in years
and don't even remember a lot about the gospel so it's almost like teaching
investigators. But we have one family in particular who I’m super excited about
that we met this week. The Robles family is made up of Anthony (who is an RM),
Aliw and their 4 kids and I seriously love them all so much! They are such a
cute little family and no big deal the kids love me haha. We were able to get
to know them and share a spiritual message from the scriptures with them about
the atonement of Jesus Christ and how through him we can become clean from our
sins and start over on a new slate no matter what you have done. Of course none
of us are perfect, but our heavenly father knew that when he sent us here to
earth so he provided a way for us to become clean and return to him again to
live in peace and happiness with our families into the eternities :) Suddenly, Sister Aliw (who before had put up a wall and seemed so indifferent) just
started to cry. You could feel the spirit so strong and she told us how she
just felt so unworthy to talk to God or return to church because of the things
she had done in her past. We testified to her that her heavenly father loves
her and her family so much and wants them to be happy. And the only way to
experience true happiness is to continually hold to the true gospel of Jesus Christ
here on the earth today. It leads guides us through our dark and thorny patches
of life and our savior is the light which we must look to. They said they would
start reading the book of Mormon again and they let us take the kids to ward
FHE which they really enjoyed. We have an appointment with them tomorrow and I’m
super excited for them!! I love being able to help people come closer to Christ
every day and I just hope that I can make a difference in these people’s lives
and help them to be able to feel as happy as I do :)
I love
this gospel, I love my savior, i love being a missionary and of course, I love
all of you :)
Mahal
kita!
