Okay, so I might just start using Spanish
numbers, because they use them more than Tagalog numbers. haha! Well,
this week has been interesting! We've had some great lessons, and
visits! There's this girl who is on a search for the truth, and I hope
that she realizes and prays to know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is
true, and what she needs! There is also this couple in our really far
away area, who are great! We invited them to baptism on the 5th of April,
but that will all depend on them coming to church. I really hope they
will act on their faith, and I hope that God will bless them with
pamasahe! (Thats the money for travel.) The people in this area are
great, and are so prepared, but just don't have pamasahe! :( I hope we
can figure out a way to help them!
Oh man, so at one of our lessons, we were sitting
down on their bench thats hooked onto some trees. Anyways, it had been
raining earlier, and so things were damp. Well, sister Tou and the lady
were sitting down, and then I sat down and the lady fell down...with
the bench. Oh man, I like broke their bench. I feel so bad!! (But I
couldn't help laughing...of course where she couldn't see.) It was so
bad, and funny at the same time! I hope that she forgives me for being
fat. Well, she still seems to be progressing, so thats good! :)
Oh, happy Birthday to Heather, Mom, Leo and Caleb!
(And Josh...but I'll send some kind of picture next week for him.:) I
celebrated it here for you. There was a nice lady who gave us the
balloons when we went and baught the candles. She said to say Happy
Birthday for her! :) The cake was good...but I'm sure all of yours was
geereat! :) Anyways, happy birthday, and I hope that you all got your
bday cards! I love you all so much!
Family, I hope you know that the Bingo game you sent
me, is in good use! :) We played in with the Boridors, and whoever
lost...or didn't get a bingo, got lipstick put on their face. Well,
yes, I apparently didn't do too well. ;) But, the lesson was good, and
related to the game....and they understood and participated! Yay for
Book of Mormon Bingo! Thank you!!!!
So this family, the Bonaobra's, I love them sooooo
much! Anyways, they let us help them make donuts and these other
masarap things! It was so much fun with them, and I will miss them when
I leave this area. Anyways, I learned some donut making tricks, and
stuff. We're soooo making donuts one of these days, with different
creative things! I love how creative the people are here! Seriously,
they use their brains! Well, the donuts were great, and the lesson with
them was too!
OKay, about the gross picture of my neck...yes, I
got eaten by something during a night. We weren't sure what it was, so
the mission presidents wife told us to travel to Leagspi to the
dermatologist. She told us it was just bug bites. We celebrated by
going to McDonalds! :) I have never been so excited for McDonalds in my
life! After a few days of some special soap and lotion, my neck is
feeling a lot better, and doesn't itch like crazy!
I love the work of the Lord. It makes me sooooo
happy! I have never been happier in my life, and I can't believe that I
have already been out on my mission for 5 months on the 9th. Time
flies so fast! I love the gospel, and how much it has blessed and
continues to bless my life. I love helping others have that happiness
in their lives, through the gospel. Please pray for missionary
opportunities, and grab them when they're there. Missionary work has no
substitute. Be the best example you can be, by living the gospel the
best you can. The gospel is true, and has been restored. I know that
the Priesthood and Authority of God is real!! I am sooooo excited for
conference! Please prepare yourselves and live the gospel. I love you
all so much!
Love, Sister Coleman
