First, Congrats to my sister, Harley who got married on saturday (i actually dont know when, but im pretty positive it was saturday). I would just like to point out that she is 5'2" and her new husband is 6'8" hahahahahahaha. Anyway, congrats to her, I am so happy that she was able to marry in the temple!
Ok so this week was pretty boring because everyone here is out of town because of the holidays. We were able to teach and visit some less active members, t my ward is so very helpful and we had a ward worker everyday this week! We taught sister Lilia who is scheduled to get baptized on Saturday the 6th! I am happy for her! Also speaking of baptisms, Erwin one of our investigators in Don Antonio was baptized on Saturday! finally! On wednesday, we gave out like 4 or 5 blessings to our STL and some of the members. it really helped me remember and appreciate the power of the priesthood. It is so important to be worthy to use this power in our everyday lives. It is literally the power and authority of god. The rest of the week was just members calling us and wanting us to come over and share with them and also eat haha. We ate a lot of food this week. Yesterday was sunday and also new years eve, we literally ate the whole day! we had appointment after appointment and ate until we felt like we were gonna explode (too bad our toilet doesnt work hahaha) The philippines really knows how to do new years! wow, it was like a warzone outside! there was constant sound and so many fireworks, it was crazy! there was smoke everywhere and crazy people on motorcycles honking their horns speeding in the strreet. Wow it was unlike anything I have ever seen in the states haha. That night we made tacos, and my kabahay made some weird deep fried thing that tasted way good. Our neighbors came and gave us a ton of food, we have no more room in our fridge. It was a great new years, something i will never forget. Now its 2018 another year has come and gone, wow. I am exctited for whjat 2018 brings. I am ready to learn and grow and i am excited to see how everything happens. I love this work, and this gospel. Please do not take the Book of Mormon for granted, or temples. I finished the BofM for the second time and it is amazing. I know that it is true, and i would not be here in another country missing weddings and family if it was not true. like Holland says, no evil man could write it and no holy man would, unless it was from god. HAPPY NEW YEARS! LOVE YOU ALL!
