Mayong hapon friends and family!
[Last week forgot to send pics!]
This week I hit my 1 year of being here in Philippines Iloilo Mission! Wow it's been amazing and I have learned so much. This past week was awesome. We had exchanges with one of the sister companionship, Zone conference, and MLC, all in one week!
[Exchanges!]
I'll just share a really short highlight. At zone conference there was one constant highlight - TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN TO SACRIFICE. Sometimes we think that sacrificing would be a good thing, right? But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would rather we obey. It's easy to sacrifice and give up something, but the true test is when we obey Them and humble ourselves. They want to see that we are willing. They want to see that we love Them through our actions. Keep on pondering on what you can do to show the Lord your obedience to Him, and I know that you will find yourself growing closer to our Father in Heaven more than you ever have before.
Keep on pushing everyone, no matter how hard it gets. Palangga ko kamo!
Halong kamo pirme,
