So It is official I have started talking in
my sleep in Tagalog and it basically amazing. That funny thing is, is
its like the conversational stuff that I say every time we start a lesson
and then I go into prayers.
So this weeks story is about sister Jessica and Angalina. Do you
all remember the story I told you about the problem we had a couple
weeks back with sister Jessicas Brother not being OK about her being
baptized, Well this week we had to opportunity to teach him. turns out
he was taught before about a year ago by elders I think and he just
listened. I don't think he wants to change his religion because his
religion is easy right? Well here is hopefully the catch that will get
him in. Not only has his younger sister become a member but his mom is
being baptized in about two weeks. But that's not all, his wife is
interested. The night we taught him we gave him a pamphlet of the 1st
lesson and of course he didn't read it but she did!! I was so excited to
find that out and I really hope that through her we can get to him.
She really wants to learn more and wants to read the book of Mormon
which is funny because before when we first met her she seem like she
really didn't want to change her religion either. So it turns out that
that fight a couple weeks back wasn't for nothing.
conference was good, we went to a chapel in Orion and watched it
with air con so good!! I loved a lot of the talks but the ones I
remember the most was Elder Hollands about hope and depression, Elder
Christopherson about Women, and President Monson about a lot of great
things. Ah I wish we could have conference every weekend.
Other than that everything is pretty normal here in the mission, we
walk a lot and I am always working on something whether it be in my head
or physically so by the end of the day I am exhausted. I have 9 days
until I train and I am excited to see my batch but I am so scared for
the change. Sometimes I am ok with it but I know that I have many more
trials coming up and as much as I would like to prepare I cant and that
is the importance of the atonement and of building a relationship with
my savior. I know that although this is hard it is worth it and I am
learning so much about myself and how god loves his children. That is
one quality I hope to develop is a love of god for all his children, to
pray for them, to worry about them, and to find ways to help them. My
scriptures have become my best friend and i don't know what I would do
without them. Sorry this letter is so short but I want to leave you all
with my testimony that I know god loves us and gives us hard things to
become better. I want to share a story that my companion told me as we
were walking. A mother who was blind was always calling and checking up
on her daughter and one day the daughter snapped and they got into a
fight. she asked her mom why she constantly was checking up on her that
she didn't need her to do that then without giving her mom a chance to
respond she left. later she came back to find a note that told her why
her mom was blind. The mom said that when she, the daughter, was
younger she had an accident and had lost her sight. the mother then
willing gave up her eyes for her daughter to see. then she said this
"my dear daughter take care of my eyes" That is the same with our
heavenly father. he has give us all gifts willingly and we need to take
care of them. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I am so
grateful for the person I am becoming. Thank you all for your support
and especially for you love.
Talk to you soon!
Sister Snow
We asked her for more details on Nanay Nora: Nanay nora is a convert of a year as of june. and she is so funny you
would love her. she wants you all to come here after my mission and
stay at her house.
Also asked how she was feeling about the language now:The language is a lot better but I still cant understand a lot. it
depends on the person really and how fast they talk. I can hold a
conversation but it is not very good sometimes. oh well life goes on
and I keep studying praying and trying to do my best like you!!
