I love the members. They are always helping us! I also just got a haircut today, and this is the lady that cut my hair. She's really nice. The missionaries are going to go back and teach her ;)



I got my birthday package from my family!! Also, it was a trial this week because I got boils on my right foot. It was so big and painful, but we kepy working! Trials make us stronger. My companion has fun last night by trying on some shoes with springs. She was taller for a little bit :)


We are having fun!

Dear Everyone, 

I wore a sweater for the first time in my whole mission!! It was really cold. This was on Wednesday during the storm 'Glenda'. Prayers were answered because it was nothing compared to what was expected. It was mostly cold and really windy and raining a little bit. That was amazing. We were still able to work!



We taught a family that is less-active and their grandson is 20 years old and he's been coming to church for 1 year but it's been until now that he was approved to be baptized. His grandparents came to church yesterday for the first time in years. Miracles and tender mercies :)

Good news, we were safe this past week. Other good news: This was a really awesome week! I testify that members and missionaries and working in the Lord's vineyard for the very last time. I was just thinking earlier about the invitation I gave in the last weeks to invite a family to have dinner and invite the missionaries. I continue to testify that this is a great finding opportunity. So how's it going? I urge you to make a list of you neighbors and then kneel as a family and pray about who Heavenly Father wants you to invite. Pray for them by name; there is power in doing this. Then pick a date and invite them! Will you do this, this week? I know that if you will, you will become instruments in helping a family, your literal brothers and sisters, to hear the message of the Gospel. They have received this message in the pre-earth life. It will be familiar to them. This is my promise for you and my love. 

Sister Santa

I did my own laundry for this first time!!! I used a bucket and then you just wash by hand and then rinse 3 times. I'll teach you all when I get home!



This is Jack Fruit or langka (Tagalog). It's so delicious. A member gave it to us.

I had a great week. We are supposed to have a typhoon this week so please pray for us.
