Hi Everyone!
Maligayang pasko! Maganda talaga ang
pasko ko dito sa Pilipinas. Mababait ung mga tao dito. Masarap talaga
ang pagkain dito, at ang ganda ganda ng Panahon. (Merry Christmas! My
Christmas was really good here in the Philippines. The people here are
nice. The food is so good, and the weather was sooooo soooo great!) It
was super nice to be able to talk with my family on Christmas. It was
so nice to talk with everyone, even though we are all in different parts
of the world. We are in 4 different continents. It's so awesome and
such a blessing. I am grateful for technology for that reason. I love
my family soooo much! I am so happy that you are all faithful members
of the church, and active in the gospel. That is what brings true
happiness. I love you all!
Well, I have learned
so much from the people here. They are so Christlike. They really
have the spirit of Christmas in them everyday. I want to become more
like them. They are humble and meek.. I love these people and I know
that they are so important to Heavenly Father.
On
Christmas, we went to our branch Presidents house. They fed us some
delicious food, and we played a game that Dad sent me. It's this game
that you like slap the cards and stuff...so it's like a favorite one to
me. You know how I love those "slapping" games. haha! Thank you all for
your packages and letters, and emails. I love you all.
So
2 of our investigators came to church yesterday. They are so great.
Hopefully at least one of them will get baptized in January or
February. I love being a missionary and teaching these humble people.
Oh just earlier today, we were on a jeepney and I started talking to
this old nanay. Anyways, she was so nice and invited us to go to her
house. Also, she said she was sooo sad. She has no family here, and her
husband died in August. I told her that we can really find happiness
and peace in the gospel. She is so awesome and is excited for us to go
over. Also, I invited her to church. She said she will come. WHAT??
Thats so awesome. We haven't even taught her, and she committed to go
to church. She seems so great! :)
I hope you
all have a wonderful new year. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints is True. It was restored through Joseph Smith. I
know we have the Authority of God on earth, to bind families forever. I
know we have the fulness of the gospel through the Book of Mormon. If
we ever feel like our testimony is weak, let us follow the action done
by one of my Recent Converts. She said that she read the testimony of
Joseph Smith, and she felt her testimony grow about the gospel. I know
that as we study the BOM everyday, we will know what to do.
I love you all! Love Sister Coleman
