86 Steps

 I am finally feeling not scared about speaking Tagalog. And I really just love the Gospel, I love it so much! I love the Celestial Kingdom and sometimes  I sit and day dream about it. I  just love that we have this knowledge and we can one day go to a place and be free from care and worry and just be so happy and at peace all the time forever! :) IT just amazes me! This week I have just fallen in love with the gospel and I'm so glad to have it in my life. 
The above was written by Hope in an email I received from her last night! I am so happy to hear that she loves the gospel and that she has the knowledge of the Celestial Kingdom.
She also wrote this: OH i miss the snow! I can't wait to dive right in. 

Yea i always pray for my area. don't worry it happens in the city. and even though we got snubbed we got 24 lessons this week that is a high for Laoag 5! :) 

I know and i have had so many miracles in my mission! I mean you talk to my dear P.  and if she was the only baptism I ever had that would be fine with me because I have seen the changes and been there to witness the happiness that it brings to peoples lives and it really is an honor to be serving and even though we get snubbed I just push on cause I know that I have done good and that there will be more good in the future.

She also wrote this in her email~: I am so glad that Faith is spending time with Nanny :) and yes i know exactly what you mean :) haha

Yes i am tan now. you should see my feet. ha in my apt. we are all just Tannies :) mwahaha

I am so glad that you are all reading together :) it makes me smile :) 

So the headaches are gone! What caused it was this stuff called kataulis lotion. I had been putting it on my heat rash every single day since the day I got in Laoag 5. and when I was staying with the other 2 in another apt. I didn't bring it so the head aches went away but at that point I had no idea what was causing it so i was certain that it was something in the other apt. but then my heat rash got worse so I got some more lotion and then all of a sudden headaches again! I finally realized it and threw it literally as far away as I could from me. and since then nothing :)

So it wasn't her last companions perfume like she thought!

She also said this in her email:

Yes STL life is busy but it's so much fun! :) I miss Vigan every single day! Vigan was like home to me and transferring out of your first area is the hardest. I miss Bacarra because it was such a fun time in my mission and the work was so great there! But I love Laoag 5 too even though it's tough to teach and our number of lessons are low, the members make up for all of that. Laoag 5 is the best concerning members and using their callings to the best of their ability. :)

HERE ARE THE PICTURES FOR THIS WEEK, ENJOY!

COMPANIONS

THAT IS ALL FOR THIS WEEK, Hope is doing what she needs to be doing! She is loving missionary work, and the people that she is serving.

Please pray that she finds people that are in need of the gospel in her area, someone who will listen to the message that she and her companion has prepared to share. That would really help this week, if you would do that.

May God Bless You, and Keep you safe! Until next week, and Thank-you for reading this blog.
