In five to ten years (siyempre lahat ay depende sa future ko...) I am coming back to the Philippines with my asawa. Sister Wilkes said she wants to come with me too with her asawa. Today we had another amazingly beautiful zone pday. The Philippines has the absolutely most gorgeous places (and some really nasty ones too...but today was not the case). We went to some water falls in Nagcarlan (I think) and it just made me grateful all over again that I am here. It was perfect.
This past week has been pretty good. Actually it has been great! President sent us all the talk "Consecrated Missionary" or something like that by Tad Callistar . It was really what I needed. I realized that there is a lot more I could be doing to make my mission better and it definitely gave me a big push to be a better missionary. I really learned a lot from it. It talks a lot about changing our nature and not just our behavior, so I have really been working on that a lot this week and I will definitely continue working on it for the rest of my mission.
I got really good news about Zeiti this week too so that helped. The sister serving there now said that she and her husband, , are planning to go to the temple in April so she can do baptisms for the dead and she may be pregnant!!!!! I am so excited for her. She is my favorite.
Today at our Zone p-day I was talking to sister wilkes, who got to have a sleep over with sister smart (from the mtc) because she was getting a new companion, but any way. She said they were talking and of course numbers got brought up and she said sister Smart just said to her not to worry about the numbers. She said to just work as hard as she can and be happy with her work, regardless of baptisms. I have actually been kind of worried about that too the last few weeks, seeing that I am almost half way done and only have one, but if that's how my mission is supposed to be I have decided that it is ok. I know if I had baptisms easily, I wouldn't appreciate them, and having Zeiti as that one, I couldn't be happier. I am so glad to be here, and I am really trying to just learn to trust Heavenly Father and accept his will.
I love you all so much and hope you have a great Valentines day!!!
Mahal ko kayo!
Love,
Sister Mecham
P.S. My English is getting quite awful. I conjugate verbs really wrong and I am flipping word order when I talk. Haha it is really funny sometimes, but it totally is scaring me. Writing in my journal is getting really hard. I forgot how to spell as well. So I am really sorry if some things don't make sense...
