Hello my dearest family!!! Thank you so
much for the letter you sent, I loved that combined thing. It made my
day :) This week was another great one, packed with learning experiences
and laughter. We have a new sister, fresh from the MTC in our
apartment. She is American! There are so few Americans in our mission,
so it is fun to see her experiencing all the new things, and remember
when I was new. This week will mark 6 months as a missionary! It is so
fast. Every day is packed with teaching and studying and meeting people.
It is such a great feeling to be a missionary. Because me and my
companion are both foreigners, we get a lot of attention, and even
though it can be weird to be stared at, it is a great key to sharing the
gospel. We found a lot of new investigators this week, and even though I
have been a long time in this area, there are still so many new people
to be found.
We met an Filipino man who is from America
and he spoke to us for about 30 minutes about the corrupted government
of America and how Mitt Romney should have been president. I hope things
aren't as bad as he said, he made America sound really bleak. I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but...this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. -Alma 29:9
