Ok, so i am guilty for not writing an email to everyone last week. My bad. :) Mom, I have not had the surgery yet but I have to go to Manila in two weeks and thats when I'll get. All is well though. 

This week though.... boy was it a full blown ROLLER COASTER!!! There are so many things that I want to tell you guys but there is not enough time. So many amazing things happened and there were a lot of... not so amazing things. 

I feel like I have talked about this a bajillion times but I am just going to say it again about how stinkin grateful I am that we have the guidance of the spirit. 

There were a lot of occasions that happened this week were it felt like everything was going wrong and sister bagacina and i were trying not to get discouraged, we would stop and say a prayer and then bam! we were lead to those who have truly been prepared for the gospel. It is so amazing that if we just stop for a second to pray... it makes the most difference than anything else! It will give us the peace, patience, strength, courage, happiness, and whatever we need. So in this short short email, I just want to remind you all that its that simple. Just pray. If you are worried for school, your job, or need an answer or guidance... just pray. It is the most effective way to recieve what we need. I know that is true because I feel it and see it everyday when we need uplifting or anything. A short prayer is what makes that difference. I love you all!! I hope that your doing well. 

 

I will send pictures next week :)
