Sister Arnold
President Gordon B. Hinckley said:
"Today many sisters are being called to serve. Many more are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or don't have anything else to do, but they have the desire to serve. One reason that the Lord wants more sisters to serve is because within the next generation He will send His priesthood army to the earth. He wants to send choice spirit children to mothers who have been prepared, properly trained, and taught in the gospel. What better schooling can a mother have than to experience and grow as she serves a mission." --Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Transfers
Well, we had a lunch appointment and so we were late getting to the cafe! I
had recorded a recording of my week, but unfortunately it is too large
to attach..it was 40 min though, so I will have a shorter one ready to
send next week! This week has been great! We finally got a ward mission
leader! We have coordinated with him so much and now we can finally get
organized! We have found 6 new investigators this week! It is amazing
how if we just open our mouth, we'll be surprised at who is ready to hear
the gospel. We have been busy with trying to find a new house. We
found one that we are most likely moving into if we both stay! Our
housing has been a nightmare! But, we have stayed positive! This week I
also used a cardigan! What the heck?! haha. Who would've thought. It
rains consistently here by the bucket fulls! We have had so many
progressing investigators and recent converts this week! We have had
three youth, two sisters and one elder working with us helping share
their testimonies in the lessons! There were just a few funny stories
this week. Walking to one appointment there was a group of ten kids
that ran up to me and clung to my body! They wouldn't let go and so Sis
Molino and I counted to three and ran! hahah Scary! Not really, but it's
crazy what an American brings! haha. Then, another funny thing is all
the Filipinos tell me they want my white skin..yes, it's still white!
haha Actually I have tan lines on my feet!! and I'm proud of them :) But
here, they use whitening soap! hahahahahah I died laughing! There isn't
much to write about other than we are finally getting organized and
making progress with those we are teaching and are excited to teach
those investigators we found! I can truly testify once more that the
church is true! No matter how bad we think we have it, for example with
Elizabeth Smart, she had it rough, but its how we handle those
situations that molds our character and who we are! I am thankful to
have served in the Bacolod 6th ward this transfer and whether I stay or
go and whether Sis. Molino stays my trainer or not, I am willing to go
and do! Thank you for all the love and support that you all have given
me! I pray for you daily and remember that the gospel is true and when
life gets too hard to stand, kneel. That's what I do. And I can testify
that the Lord will bless you! Enjoy more pictures!
