Isang Taon Na.

Hiiiiiii!  It is I, Sister Waldrom.  Who is reaching her one year

 mark.  WHAT WHERE HAS TIME GONE?!  Crazy how relative time is on the

 mish, because we are so close to heaven!!!  Love and hate it.  It sure

 is quick.

 Yoyoyo!!  Pamilya!  I have got an assignment for all yall!  Page 202

 of Preach My Gospel.  Second Bullet point.  What blessings have you

 received from your obedience?  I want your answers by next monday!  I

 think it will greatly help me teach investigators of blessings from

 their repentance.

 This week I saw the blessings of the priesthood.  I learned a lot this

 week of how men are not the priesthood, simply the holders of it.  The

 priesthood blesses all of God's children on earth.  For all you

 priesthood holders reading this, I have a question.  What does it feel

 like for you when you exercise the priesthood?  That is amazing stuff.

 This week Sister Tua'one was sick. :(  We stayed in from

 Monday-Thursday, therefore I read Our Search for Happiness in a 24

 hour period of time and also made a mission vision for myself (see

 attached photo).  It was some great study time on my part, but I felt

 bad for my compy.  She is doing better now.  But for realz, my vision.

  It was such a great realization for me of what else I need to and

 want to achieve on my mission.  I made so many spiritual goals and

 ideas.  I love being a missionary! I actually began some goals for my

 life after the mission.  I look forward to living the law of

 consecration as a member of the church.

 I went on exchanges with Sister Maagad, who is companions with my

 trainer on the mission.  She is so cool, from Visayas in the

 Philippines.  This was my FIRST time working with a filipina since my

 own trainer in the mission!  And I also realized that I haven't lived

 with a filipina since my first area, back in November.  So whatever,

 if my Tagalog really does suck, its not my fault, I have got no

 natives to teach me!!  But Sister Maagad helped me out.  She is one

 spunky and cool Filipina!  We had a great day of finding in the dead

 heat of this country.  Literally I am soaking wet everyday.  And that

 day was one of the worst.  But she helped me through!  I learn a lot

 of new ideas and approaches from these sisters.  I love this

 opportunity to work with them.

 I got to speak in church yesterday about missionary opportunities.

 Hoping that my talk got them excited to give us some referrals.  I

 just looooove the short notice the bishop always gives us when we

 speak in church...

 Well, this area is hanging in there and so am I.  I feel you prayers

 and thank you so much for them all. I remember in a priesthood

 blessing I received from President, he blessed me to feel the prayers

 of my family and receive those blessings.  So thank you because I know

 I am receiving everything you are praying for!  I love you all to

 Kolob and back!  Stay true to what you know! Oh!!!  Come to find out, our

 investigator, Cristina, back in Batangas was baptized!!!!  Holla!!! the church 

 is true!!!!!!

 Mahal kita,

 Sister Waldrom
