Bangon! Ngaa natumba ka? (Get up! Why did you fall?)


Sometimes I laugh out loud when we read the Book of Mormon with the people we teach because the translations are kind of hilarious sometimes. 


Anyways!!! This week was WONDERFUL! But also it was super busy and crazy and I can't really remember anything that happened :) But! So many new people came to church this week! It was miraculous! 


Also we taught Tatay Randy about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Spirit was so strong. I used an analogy from Jessica about leaving footprints in the sand- sometimes they're small and sometimes they're deep but when the waves come they're all washed away. That's what the Atonement of Jesus Christ can do for our lives. Everything can be made new again no matter how many footprints we've left in the sand. Randy is preparing for his baptism probably in the next few months :) It's been the greatest privilege and blessing to witness his change of heart so far! 





We're teaching more and more people in Kevin's family too and that has been so fun! It's so cool to see him help us with the lessons and encourage his siblings to pray and read. They're too shy to come to church right now but we have a lot of hope for all of them! 



Little kids keep making me little rubber band bracelets I have like 5 now. Whenever they see me wearing it they give me more! I feel so loved. Blessed are the children! 



My life and my heart are still changing everyday through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I love the analogy from last conference that all of us are like a leaky old house.


C.S Lewis explained God’s transforming power in this way: “Imagine yourself as a living house.  God comes in to rebuild that house.  At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing.  He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.  But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably… You see, He is building quite a different house from the one you thoughts of… You thought you were being make into a decent little cottage; but He is building a palace.  He intends to come and live in it Himself.”


Jesus is the Christ and He lives! Run to him.





LOVE YOU ALLLLLL!!!
