Magandang Umaga!
Thanks for the letters! It's much easier to respond :). But really, thanks. Happy Fathers Day dad (yes, I realize it's about a week late). I figured it's better late than never :)
It was another great devotional this past tuesday. Last week and this week have been my favorite. Oh, I will meet my mission president...today actually. Right after the special fireside they're holding for us today. It's pretty spiffy. We're going to be hearing from an apostle. The rumor is that it's the prophet! Then on Sunday for our fireside, they say we get to listen to another one! Hopefully it's true. That would be great!
This has been another great week! So many lessons I've learned and still learning this week. On Monday night I wasn't feeling the greatest but I didn't think much of it. Then on tuesday (the last half of the day) I became sick... full fledged! I know.... pretty shocking. I think the only thing I didn't have or do was throwing up. I even lost my voice on wednesday, thursday and today. (Although, it just sounded really funny those days when I did speak) It sounds much better today. No worries. I'm great. I'm pretty positive that I needed to learn these lessons this way because I wasn't doing them the other way. God is so merciful! (I think I've written that line in every journal entry since I got here at the MTC :) Although I was sick. He gave me enough energy and focus so I could still learn in class and go about the day. Last night, I was planning on going to the temple with Sister Stonick and Sister Hawaiikirungi early this morning. However, it wasn't the best night's rest I've received. Then early morning, at 6 AM, I was bad.... really bad... so I couldn't go to the temple. So Sister S and Sister H stayed with me until Sister Dyer returned around 9 AM. Anyways, as I was praying, I realized (thanks to the spirit) that I needed to sleep until my kasama returned (which was around 9, as I stated before) and then I would be fine for the rest of today. So I slept, and then I got up around 9 AM and I felt great! I love all these lessons I'm learning. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father is letting me learn these lessons. It didn't matter how bad I was feeling during the week, as long as I had the spirit and doing my best, I was really happy. It's kind of funny, a few days (like one or two) before I got sick, I was thinking about what traits I wanted to have. I was focusing on humility and realized that I needed and wanted to be humble. Then BAM the sickness came! I knew I had a lot of pride before but throughout this week, I have just realized how much pride I really had! I had only begun to recognize all the pride! I'm so thankful for that. I've learned and still learning so many lessons! I'm so happy and excited! Seriously, I really am fine. My voice is still kinda funny sounding, but other than that I'm just fine and dandy. The language is coming, I'm excited. I love learning languages! They're just so fun to learn and fascinating. Oh yeah, I bet you're all curious as to why my kasama had to return. Well, she was chosen to sing in the special MTC choir that would and still sing to the Prophet and the rest of the apostles. Pretty neat experience for her! She's very talented! I'm so grateful that she's my companion! I'm learning so much from her and we're having a fun time! God is great! I love the gospel! I'm so excited! My IT bands are still healing, but they're almost healed. Well, anything I have missed just send me a letter and I'll respond! Thanks mom for doing that! Thanks for the package! Sickness has been running rampage throughout the MTC and I think I got mine from my district.... oh well, I appreciate what I've learned!
Mahal Kayo!
