Kamusta Po Kayo,

This week I counted my blessings one by one as they walked into
the Chapel Sister Malaga and I were so overjoyed to see so many
of our investigators at church we had six in all but we we're,
most especially excited to see our progressing family the Bravo
family in attendance for the fourth week in a row. The father
brother Jay has not yet made it to church but sister Emily has
been coming every week faithfully from the day we began teaching
their family and bother has been progressing this week on
Tuesday after our visit he lead a kneeling family prayer. I feel
hopeful that brother will make it to church within the next week
or two and that they will so enter the waters of baptism as a
family one day soon. I cannot express the amazing amount of
respect I have for sister Emily She works three jobs to help feed
their children while her mother ( their grandmother watches
them) She and spends every extra spare minuet with her kids
and reads them the scriptures. She is so humble and I have yet
to see anyone on my mission more prepared to accept the
restored gospel as she is. We also had at church the mother
of 7 of our most active youth and YSA that is the mother of the
Quimpo family Sister Lita Quimpo. She has been taught by the
missionaries for at least the last 4 years and yesterday was her
very first time at church! I was so filled with joy for her seeing
her whole family fill up the front pew that I ran up and gave her
the biggest hug! Me and my companion had volunteered to speak
on missionary work as a hope to get more referrals from the
branch and to show them that we are serious about what we do
and willing and ready to share the gospel with their families.
I feel the Lord supporting me and my companion as we work every
day. I am More TIRED than I have ever been in my entire life
yesterday in our branch correlation I was pretty sure I was going
to pass out but a ate a sweet candy said a prayer and the Lord
sustained me until 8:30 pm that night as we shared just one last
message, that seems to be what I am constantly telling my
companion these days, just one last message just one last house.
Its funny I didn't quite understand why my follow up trainer
always wanted to stay out as late as we could and go to just one
last house and now that's me! I know my days here are numbered
I can already feel it I will one day soon be coming home and
I don't want a moment to be wasted!

I love you all, but for now I love the gospel and being a missionary
just a little bit more maybe! I do miss you though!

Ingat po kayo palagi, at Ipatpategka ( that last one word means I love
you In Ilocano the new dialect I am slowling but surely learning)
