Hey, I love you!
This
week was rough! Whew! We had MLC where I cried in front of all the
mission leadership and it was super awkward. Especially because I never
cry. Okay, exaggeration. BUT usually never. Anyway, moving on. I learned
a lot and it was great.
I'm trying to remember what else happened this
week... This is embarrassing. Um, okay. Oh! I went on an exchange with a
sister that is struggling so much. She wants to go home so bad because
she's been here five months and can barely speak tagalog. She is so
discouraged but we are doing everything we can to keep her here,
respecting her agency hah. But that was my duty at this last exchange.
And it was awesome. I felt the spirit working through me as we worked
through the day to help build her confidence in herself and in the
Savior and I found myself saying things to her that I would never have
said to anyone. At the end of the exchange, she expressed her desire to
stay on her mission and how she has a new commitment to be diligent in
serving the Lord in order to feel the JOY in missionary work. It was an
incredible experience that I can't exactly explain. Basta, because
Heavenly Father loves her and knows she has much more to do on her
mission, He put into my mouth the things that would help her. That
usually only happens to me for the people we teach, but now it's
happening to help the Lord's missionaries here in Manila mission! I love
being a missionary!
