I seriously cant believe its already pday. This week flew. I also might be getting my flight itinerary today, hopefully. SO NUTS. Lowkey freaking out, but this week has made me sooo excited to actually get to the Philippines.
On Sunday, we were extremely lucky to have President Ballard come and speak to us for our devotional. I guess it's pretty rare that any general authority comes and speaks since July is their vacation month, but Pres Ballard kept telling us how he felt prompted to share a message. He even used the teleprompter to make sure he wouldn't leave anything out because it was so important!
He spoke a lot about Joseph & Hyrum Smith. MY FAVORITE.
Oh, also guess what dad? I sang in the choir too lol. Don't get too stoked though because so did 850 other missionaries. The choir director, Brother Egit, is AMAZING. Half the time we aren't even singing because he just shares some super cool spiritual stories. He talked about a family of ducks he saw trying to jump some curb, and all of them succeeded except one duckling. That little guy just kept on jumping and jumping for like 10 min straight, and then eventually got up. (Note that the mom didn't help at all, or else the chick wouldn't be able to know how to do things on it's own) He compared us to that chick and the momma duck to God. One thing he said that Ive been thinking a lot about this week was that "Sometimes God will be there to pick you up, and sometimes he just knows you can do it. Whatever hardship you're going through or will go through, will change your life. He is there, but sometimes He just lets you jump. He knows when you can, and when you can't, and how much help to give you. Just keep praying." hit me real good.
We are skyping people from the philippines tonight and teaching a lesson so wish me luck because sis rob is mabuti in the language and I am medio lmao. joke lang but not really.
love you all
