Kumusta!
Thanks for the emails! I appreciate them! Things are going great! I
love challenges and then there are always blessings at the same time..
so two in one! :D pretty astig! My companion is so spoiled right now
(me too, but she's still new). We don't have an apartment so we've been
living with this amazing senior couple who's kind of close by to our
area... so we get hot water and they let us use their washer and
dryer... and they give us food, etc.... the first time it has ever
happened to me here and so my companion has yet to experience the
complete thrill of being here. :) But it's a great tender mercy because
of what we're trying to do.... I love everything about the Philippines,
it's a great place! :D It's pretty neat that as we're trying to find
our way through our large area... we've been getting lost but then we
find these amazing investigators on the way... pretty neat tradeoff,
don't ya think? :) One of them is Sister Veronica... she is soooo golden
and it's amazing. She's agreed to a baptismal date and she has been
reading the Book of Mormon daily. In fact, when we gave her the
Restoration pamphlet, she read it and marked it up... she filled out the
answers to all of the questions in the back and read the whole pamphlet
again... pretty cool. She's also married, so that's really nice. She
said that she hasn't really talked with the different churches before so
this was a new experience for her but she's prayed about Joseph Smith
and knows he is a true prophet.... she's amazing. I love this lady and
her family. Her husband works in Mandaluyong... in my old area! Go
figure... right? But then again, this has always happened to me in all
of my areas... pretty interesting. We haven't met him yet, but we're
praying for her and her family and for our other investigators too.
Another neat thing is that... literally, we took time out every day to
go find a new apartment, which is a challenge because of the new area
and the different factors we have to consider.. and so we've looked at
so many apartments and there was always something wrong with them....
but then on Saturday, when we were meeting with Veronica, she found out
that we've been searching and said that there was a place near by her!
Earlier today we went over there, and then we called the senior couple
(they're the ones who decide if it's good or not) and they came... and
wow... there wasn't anything seriously wrong with it and so we have a
new apartment now! Great blessing from God. We were led to this
investigator who's really ready and she led us to that apartment... But
we probably won't move in until in a few weeks... so until then, we
still will be spoiled. :) My companion is great, she's an amazing
missionary (especially as she deals with my diyabloness) :) Apparently,
she has a blog too... but anyways. Everything is going great! I love it
here, as always. I'm learning so many lessons every day and I'm so very
appreciative of these lessons. God is great! Time is up! Thanks again!
Mahal ko Kayo,
Sister Mohrman
