HELLO!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! what a week!!!

you KNOW we had a celebration this week for thanksgiving and went and bought a ton of tiny little mashed potatoes sides from Jollibee and had a feast. lets just say the workers were more than a little confused but thats okay!!! it was so exciting

this week was good!! We visited this one cute little girl named Mikayla. We met her dad on the street one day and he said he wanted us to meet his daughter. She is 10 years old and has a disability so she couldnt talk with us, but she understands when we talk!! So we sat down with her and sang some songs with her and she just started smiling and laughing and it was so so sweet to be able to see this little girl so touched by the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love this work and what we get to do every day!!

wow what a week!!!  i just wanna start out by sending all my love to the Tucker family and everyone else who is struggling from loss of their cute mom. All my prayers are being sent in that direction and i wish i could be there with all my heart. But even from far away, I feel a lot of peace from God's plan for us and I know that He is with us in all of our trials and He can literally carry us through. This is one lesson I have really learned since being here. It is really hard to see in the moment sometimes, but God's plan is divine and was created since the world began.

(luckily he only fractured his arm) but she came to church yesterday and told us that god gives people trials to see how they'll act in the midst of them, and shes using them to come closer to Christ. i just love these people and their faith even when things are so hard.  I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A GOOD WEEK HAPPY LATE VALENTINES DAY AND EARLY ...
