A Missionary's Work: Who's First

9/25/2017

Hey Guess who's back, back in black (or (a) white...Polo shirt). Its been a great week full of catching lizards, having a national protest day (where nothing actually happened), Cooked Bibingkang kanin (sweet sticky rice, mixed with coconut with a sweet sweet sugar mix and coconut on top, mmmmmmmmmmm!), and Went to a really big birthday party (they had lechon pig, cake, and crazy games for kids involving a blindfold and a stick {how many times does that actually go well, haha}). It was a fun week and we also went to family week here and its such a party and loads of fun! This week we got to meet Elder Schmutz  who is a great person who gave a talk to us missionaries. It was great! 

I was thinking about our focuses and priorities in life lately. The thing that kept coming up was Who we put first. Do we put God first or our work or our schooling or our family. Those are some hard things to prioritize because they all link and are important for us and others. But I think of the promise God gave us that if we put him first, he will give to our needs. He knows our needs and wants to give us blessings. but for him to help us and give those blessings he needs us to have faith, put him first, and follow him, then will he give us those blessings. 

It's true he loves us and knows our needs and has a plan for us and for him to help us in his plan we need to put him first. Sometimes its super hard but he gives us a way (1st Nephi 3;7). He loves us and has a great plan that's greater than us for us, if we put him first. love you all and I invite you to try to put him first.

well seeya'll next week and here's some pics
