Hello All!!
Well this is my last Pday in the MTC! :) YAY!!! It is finally here!!! :) I am so so so nervous, pero I am so so so so excited!!!!!! :) Wish me luck!!
This week has been the HARDEST week yet!! It has been a roller coaster of emotions :) I have never felt so happy and I have never felt so low, but that is part of a mission and I have learned so much!!! The best part of this week was the proselyting activity! I was partnered with Sister Slade :) She was awesome. We first went to an investigator's home named Nanay Salvador. She has a serious smoking problem, but she is so sweet and reminded me so much of my Nanna :) She looked like a Filipino version of her! lol. but I had the opoportunity of teaching her about the Atonement. and guess what......? I did it all in tagalog!!!!! It was amazing!!!! The gift of tongues is a real thing everyone!!!! :D and the Lord does do miracles! :) but throughout the whole day I kept feeling so happy and as high as a kite, because (dahil) I was bringing others closer to Christ!! I felt like a ray of sunlight bringing the light of truth and happiness to people as I walked down the dark, gloomy, dirty streets. How can you NOT be happy when you are serving?! I have truly learned my purpose as a missionary this week! I now know exactly why I am here and I WANT to be here!! :) There is no other feeling in the world like this!!! :) Kaligayahan!!! Kapayapaan!!! :)
Sorry this is so short today but I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Mahal na Mahal ko kayo!!!!! I hope you all have had a great first week of the new year!! :) I love you all and stick to your new year's resolutions! keep sticking to them even though it is hard! Alma 26:27! :) Huzzah for Israel!
Mahal,
SISTER Dalley :) xoxo

| Me and Sister Jones wearing the "sick mask" dahil we were both pretty sick earlier this week AND I straightned my hair and it stayed! :) |

| Me with my pretzels! The ones dad would always buy at the store! like the buffalo wings etc, they had them here and I HAD to buy them because they made me think of home! We get to go to a supermarket each pday and buy a few things which is very nice :) I've gotten some Mentos from there and a few American goodies to help me with homesickness ;) |
I love to read about and see cute Sister Dalley! You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for being a perfect example of keeping Christ at the center of your life as you ministering in His behalf! You go girl!!! Leave that MTC with confidence and faith-- you are going to change many lives!
ReplyDeleteAnd, enjoy your straight hair - for a minute - because when you get to the Philippines ... just saying!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am so excited to see you reading this! You were my first inspiration to start a blog, from all of your work on the 7th ward blog and promoting blogging!
DeleteAvonlea was at the Philippine MTC. That's why straightening her hair was such a big deal. :)
