Another week has come and gone in a flash. It's
definitely been a bit of an adjustment getting used to a new companion,
but the work moves on! I love Sister Va'enuku and her caring and happy
ways!
Our investigators are doing great! We have so much potential with
Danilo (the blind man), the Castillo and De Guzman families. Danilo came
to church, which was a huuuge step for him, because of course it's
really hard for him because he's blind. But we think he had a good
experience!
We had a great weekend with the Lingayen Stake conference on Friday and Saturday.
A member of the area presidency, Elder Echo Hawk and his wife were
here. We had a very spiritual meeting all about missionary work on Saturday.
I only wish all our church meetings here could be that spiritual and
reverent. Elder Echo Hawk said that during last October's conference,
President Monson called all the area authorities from all over the world
to come to SLC for a special meeting. At the meeting he informed them
that in every stake in the world, the Saturday
session of stake conference would focus on missionary work. The Lord is
truly hastening His work and I left the meeting grateful to be a small
part of that work! I'm coming to realize too that He doesn't expect me
to be perfect. He doesn't need a perfect missionary here in the Lingayen
2nd Ward. He needs me. Despite all my imperfections and struggles, He
wants me here!
I love you all so much and I'm so grateful to be here. I thank Heavenly Father every day for the chance to serve Him here.
Love,
Sister Gustafson :)
