Family!
Thank you soooo much for your emails! It sounds like you had a great time in Moab and it sounds like your weeks have been going well! That's great! Glad to hear you're all doing well and staying healthy!
This week has been... wonderful! Wow. It was wonderful. I was sooo blessed to be able to go to the temple this past week! Seriously, a huge blessing. We have been teaching Sister Irene for a long time now and she was a less active who has now become active again! We helped her prepare to go to the temple again and she did what she had to do and was able to go! We were blessed to be able to go with our ward while they went to the temple! Sooo blessed!
Anyway, the temple.... wow. It literally is the House of the Lord. The Spirit is so strong at the temple. Even if just on the grounds of the temple, there is a different feeling. We were across the street from the temple, and then when walking back to the temple and getting on the grounds again-it was like night and day. There is a feeling of peace that comes with the temple. I love it. I just am at a loss of words for the wonderful feelings I had while at the temple. I am so grateful that I was able to go. Such a blessing.
This past week we had an investigator from Manila come to church! He's come to our church before, but he studies in Manila. Whenever he is here he asks us to teach him. Brother William is taking the lessons in Manila and is sincerely studying and searching for the truth in his life. He struggles with his family in making the choice to join the church or not. When teaching him, it was amazing how the Spirit took over and just talked directly to Brother William through us. We don't know everything about him, we don't know where the other missionaries are with teaching him and what not, but we do know that Heavenly Father is perfectly aware of what His son needs. And it was a humbling experience to teach exactly to Brother William's needs without knowing exactly what it was he needed.
I know that Heavenly Father knows His children, so perfectly. He knows us, He loves us. He has a perfect plan for each of us and His plan is always better than our own plans for ourselves. When we choose to follow His plan, when we choose to submit to His will rather than do our own-it is amazing how happy we are.
Thanks for your continued love and support to me here. I receive so much strength, protection, and so many blessings because of your continued prayers. Thank you. I love you so much! Choose to follow the Lord's plan rather than your own and we will be happier-promise :)
Mahal ko kayo!
