MASAYA! Thanks for all the good news! I hope i get to read mom's email before
leaving the computer shop today. still got 45 minutes ... :) i hope the
dedication was SUPER cool. it sounds like it was! i'm looking forward to
conference in a BIG way! i have an assignment for you ALL: right after general
conference, email me about your favorite talks/experiences/insights so i can
look for them the following weekend when i view the rebroadcast! SALAMAT!
CONGRATS on the job, dad! does that mean you'll be programming.. like at a computer? not so much hands-on? so you've got school and hopefully 40 hrs at that job and what's the other one? where's the programming job? sorry! i just wanna know where you work! hehee. are you still sunday school presidency? how about mom, is she still stake relief society? how's the teaching going?
Is Rae okay? how's she feeling now? she sure is such a trooper! i hope all is well and she can get right back in the game :) she always uses her head, huh? :) Oy! I'm so glad she's okay! what a cool experience with her coach! wow what blessings we are receiving... she is so valiant and i'm so proud of her!
I'M IN CAVITE!!!!!! and i LOVE it here! I'm in the area of Noveleta, the Noveleta ward. we're the only missionaries in this ward. my companion is one of sis ronquillo's former companions, Sister Stromberg! and guess what?? she ROCKS!!!!!! like i love her soooooooooooo much! and she's from --go figure-- LOGAN, UT! YEAH! so we get to be buds and do stuffs after our missions, too! she is such a good missionary and a fantastic person. I honestly am the happiest person alive. I love this area. I have so much to learn... we have SO MANY people to teach! And so many yet to find! Our ward is super magaling at giving us referrals. such a blessing! and our ward mission leader is so masipag! I'm having such spiritual experiences! it's a beautiful feeling :) and i know that Sis. Ronquillo and her anak (another Americana lol who is super sweet) are taking great care of the people in Makati 3rd. i know they need to be there and i need to be here. it's such a great feeling.
the province is GORGEOUS! i mean, it's still medyo city because there are still some small businesses close by and a branch of Jollibee and a Mercury Drug... there are still tricycles and buses. but there is more open space and the houses are different here. they're SO COLORFUL! and the greenery makes my heart happy :) i love looking at the houses and even at the cows that are our down-the-street neighbors. they're kinda skinny brown guys, but they sure seem nice. and at least they put up that barbed wire last-to-last transfer so they can't pollute the road anymore. that's pretty nice, too.
at first when we were driving in, i was thinking... "but the roads are still paved... but there are still stores that aren't just little tindahans... there are still cars here... this can't be the province. it has to be further than this." but you know what? it's okay! i'm super happy here. and our area is really big! as in probably several times my old/last/first area, which was incredibly small.
i saw a family of goats! one of our awesome investigators was taking them on a little sunday walk yesterday :) pretty cute. brown dad, tan mom, and a white baby. he wasn't in his little rope because he's so darn attached to mom still. so he didn't even need a rope.
i got Angus's letter! THANK YOU! i'll get "write" back to you--asap! :D I was SO EXCITED to get his letter!
alyssa... WOW. i can't explain the beauty of the feelings i had reading your email JUST NOW that i just BARELY GOT. perfect. you are so right. the Spirit connects us so much. what an amazing spirit you have! and experience! what an experience! that will always be sacred to you, and it is as well to me because you shared it. thank you, dear sister. thank you for your deep and growing love of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His gospel. thank you. i felt such a strong love and peace reading your letter. what a joy my family is to me! and the temple because it brings our family close together; whether on the other side of the world, or the veil, we are united because of what Christ did for us.
Mom, you can mail the package to the one i keep sending on letters, which is the current one. the paper must have the old office address aaron's been using. our new office is pretty recent. it'll make it either way, but it has to be forwarded if you use the old address. is this package gonna be pretty expensive? i'm going to try later today to withdraw at a different place bc last time i tried in makati, it didn't work... wierd. i want to replace a couple of my tops and my shoes are probably going to wear out sometime soon, so i wanted some more personal money. but i don't know if that's safe to send, is it?
if there's one thing that i would LOVE to get, it would be a few pictures--of our family, and of aaron. i love the ones on the computer, but if you have a chance to print one or 2 good ones, that'd rock! anyone you feel like sending :) i'd love something great to look at on my desk instead of my toiletry bag lol.
that's so cool about the convert baptism, the Yates family! and E. T! what a superb opportunity! i'm so glad he invited you and the 3 of you got to attend saturday. what a neat thing! :)
i'm so glad to hear about our Wyatt family. i love them so much and pray for them often.
i'm late and gotta sign off! thank aaron for the letter and addy and i'll have to print it to read it :) i'll send pics when i dare, but i gotta send that memory card to aaron first. i love you! i'll take plenty of pics, don't worry!
love, your sis r
