Hey guys,
sorry I didn't write last week. We lost track of time and didn't get to email very long. Well things that happened of cool or significance this week starts with us having a BBQ (like a real American one, AWESOME!) on the 4th of July with all the other missionaries, next was getting the worst food poisoning ever the very next day (3am-11pm of just throwing up and more ughhh), then the best Sunday ever cause a recent convert of ours gave me a ukulele (yessss, I've wanted to get one for ever!!!). But if that's the shadow of this coming week its going to be the best week ever and I think it'll be an amazing week!
So guys its kinda crazy I'm coming home next week, not really sure what to think I've been in the Philippines for 2 years its kinda like I really live here and is my 2nd home for sure. Anyways I just want to bare my testimony as my last email.
Over these last 2 years of missionary work and service I have really come to know and love these Filipino people and others, myself, and God. I really know that He has a plan for all of us and a purpose for everything and situation. He has, like in times before Christ, given us Prophets and Apostles today and I know God do not change in this concept. He gives us modern revelation and has given us the Bible and Book of Mormon so that we can all have 2 witnesses that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and that He loves us very much. I know the Book of Mormon is true because I have read it and asked of God if it was and is true... and it is. He gives us trials and hardships so that we can learn grow and change consistently and always so that we can be better and more Christ-like. Joseph Smith was His instrument in returning Christ's church to our dispensation. God gives everyone of His children on earth many opportunities to come unto Him in this life and the next. But I have really come to know that He's there and loves us. I see it every day as someone gains faith or help from Him in their lives. He's there and we can all know that if we seek Him through Prayer, reading the Scriptures, and go to His house (church). I love each and everyone of you guys. You are each children of God and He cares for you. I know these things to be true and you can too. And this is my testimony in Jesus name amen.
Love you guys seeya in a week, ung huling ingat ko sa inyo lahat bago darating ako doon... Ingat!
