Week 30 - Thanksgiving

Hi Everyone!!!

So this week has been another great one! 

1. I ate a Filipino delicacy this week-chicken blood... oh yaaa  
2. I got 2 packages! One from Tate and one from you, mom!! you're the best! I wore my new shoes and stepped in dog poop twice in one day... ya talk about lucky.   haha Don’t worry I cleaned them off haha and ...
3. We found a lot of new investigators and could barely fit everyone in the classroom this week at church which was awesome! So sorry this email is gonna be a short one, BUT I just wanted to express my love for each and every one of you and say how thankful I am for you. (So ya apparently us Americans celebrated Thanksgiving a week early... haha whoops embarrassing, guess we were a little too excited not to mention that's what happens when your halfway around the world with no contact with the outside world haha) But seriously, I am so so grateful for all of you and your support and love for me and for missionary work. It's THE best kind of work out there I'm telling you. There is no way I could wake up at 6:30 AM everyday for 18 months and walk and teach in the Philippines heat until 9:00 at night if it wasn't for the help of the Lord and the beautiful message we share. Every morning I wake up with a smile on my face knowing that I get to serve the Lord another day and give all my effort and energy to this work. I hope that by the time I go home in a year I will have just given everything I have and will be so exhausted I will have to take a month-long nap haha. This work is true and it is so happy. I love the Philippines people and I love what I do as a missionary- bring people closer to Christ. Transfers are this week and since I've been here almost 6 months now, there is like a 99.99999% chance that I will be transferred out of my first area here in Hermosa. It is going to be so sad to leave all my converts and investigators, but I’m excited to see what else the Lord has in store for me elsewhere too :) I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!! Be safe, be happy, do what you love, and always remember to smile! Mahal ko kayo and don't forget it! :)

love always,

Sister Lowe
