Sorry, I could not email earlier mom. I hope you went to
bed at a good time. You have snow???? Jealous! Please be safe huh? I'm being
safe- don't worry about me, I told you before, besides having the Lord on my
side, I'M HUGE... people really are scared of me. Hahaha, no snow here, I'm
starting to sweat like crazy again.
Oh Benjamin... I love your emails- I cannot believe you
know the date you are going home... that is creepy! I don't want to think about
that, haha.
Ok enough chit chat, but Mom I do want to thank you for
the detailed email- It made me really happy. And it's so nice to kind of get a
vision of what is going on.
No baptism this last week-- I will not bore you with the
details of our disappointment, but we are still hopeful that the time will come
when they will be baptized. We still had many investigators at church too so we
remain grateful and trust in the Lord's time.
I don't have time to email anyone else because I am
getting on a plane in 2 hours. I got a call from the AP's last night. And
packed up my things last night and got on a bus this morning. Me and two
sisters are going back to Tacloban. President Lopez wanted me to tell you that he
loves me and will miss me and that the areas we are going back to have been
cleared by the area presidency and they are safe. He said the members in Tacloban
are really struggling in their faith without missionaries so we are going back
to strengthen the members. I am feeling very BLAH! No feelings actually. I just
want to go where the Lord wants me- honestly. The worst feeling is knowing that
you are putting your will first, before the Lord. I am happy to serve wherever.
Grateful for the time I had here, I pray and pray the Lord is happy with the
progress we made here in Escalante. I feel like there is sooooo much more I
could have or should have learned, but the journey continues. I am excited for
whatever comes and grateful for all you do in supporting me.
Be Safe! I love you all!
Sister Ralph
