God is
listening to my prayers, I don't know why but this week I've been impressed to
pray more fervently than usual for my family's safety. So I am soo grateful! Thank
you. Now we all know that it's a good idea to listen to Sister Ralph huh?? (=
Its ok...

Ok so I'm sorry but this
will be another short email because we are still living and working Cabbugayan
but our area is Naval. Its 2 hours away and so we only go to our area on
Sundays... its a lot more frustrating than you might think, but to add to the
craziness... I got a call last night and I am transferring again! hahah, so
before I even really got to work in my assigned area I am being shipped off
somewhere. I will travel on Wednesday morning to my new area and I have no more
information than that. hahahah, oh the joys of mission life.

So to answer your
question, mom... No we have not been doing CSP (community service projects). These people in Cabucgayan are
soooo ready for the gospel. There is so much work to do. They need more
missionaries. Most everyone thinks sisters are useless at CSP... which drives
me insane.. but what can I do?

I did have a great
experience this week though. My companion has been a sweetheart. She always is
so quick to point out the good. I love that about her so much. We were walking
to an appt and I just got this desire to talk to the lady at the tindahan or
the little store that we were about to pass. There was this sweet looking lady
there and I wanted to talk to her. So we approached her and I just talked to
her for a second and told her who we were and a quick message and gave her a
pamphlet and told her we would come back the next day.
It felt really good and
when we walked away my companion said wow that was really inspired. And I felt
it too... the words just flowed.. It was completely the Holy Ghost and being
that instrument is the best feeling in the world. Well we went back the next
day and she had read the pamphlet and as we were explaining how the Holy Ghost
feels (to help her recognize it). She pretty much interrupted me and said
"Yes, I feel it" and I did too! It was the best feeling. My companion
afterward just said that my face was literally glowing, haha. During the lesson
I just could not stop smiling, I just loved this old woman soooo much and I
barely just met her. She was so prepared and eager to be baptized and learn
more. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ with all my heart. It is the only power
on earth to heal broken hearts, comfort the lonely and liberate the captive. It's
freedom in its truest form.
I'm still trying to learn the language... which
will probably change again on Wednesday, hahaha.
Oh... how is Michelle
doing? and Liz being all prego and all.. AHHH!! CUTE!! What about
Sister Lewis... what is she having? A girl...Cute! Everyone here has
like 8 boys and no girls.
Ok mom, I'm getting ready to go now. I tell my
companion all about you though and she wants to meet you. I told her today that
you still hold me like a baby and how you have this gift with babies, among
your bajillion other talents. You really are the best Mom in the world! And
Dad... You are the best DAD in the world. I love you both so much! Stay safe!
Give Beka and Samuel giant hugs for me. ALL MY LOVE!!
Sister Ralph
