Hello family!!

Hello family!!

Well this week we great! Not much time but I just wanted to share some

cool experiences from this week. First of all earlier this week we

went to Mt. Holly to try and contact a referral we had received for a

woman named Carmen. We stopped by and gave her the bible she requested

and then also gave her a Book of Mormon. And we set up return

appointment for Sunday. Well we showed up yesterday and she wasn't

home...BUT! As we were walking we met her boyfriend named Julio. And

we got to talking with him and he said he has been looking for a

church for a while and that he would love to come check it out! And we

set up an appointment for today! So I will update you next week on

Carmen and Julio! They are awesome.

Also the women's broadcast was INCREDIBLE!!! So many answered

prayers!!! And since I could write and entire book about how much I

loved it I will just leave you all with one of my favorite quotes from

it... I can't remember the sisters name who said this 😁 but simply

she said

"What will it matter dear sisters, if in the end these trials are the

very things that help to qualify us for eternal life and exaltation?"

I loved that. Also Lisa, our recent convert came and she LOVED the

broadcast! She is so awesome and we just love her.

Also yesterday at church was so great! We had our investigator Lisa

there, and thenRick came too!! And he wore a sweater!! That sounds so

silly but really though, I thought of the scripture in Alma 37:6 "by

small and simple things are great things brought to pass." And so it

is with each of us. It's the small steps that truly show our

progression. Wearing a sweater is just one tiny step of progress that

we are so grateful for!! Especially for him :) so yes, let it be known

that Sister Callaway was excited that one of her investigators wore a

sweater to church :) also at church yesterday during RS one Sister was

giving the lesson and when I first got here this sister hadn't been to

church in years. And we taught her for a while and eventually she

started coming back to church. I was just grateful whole sitting there

watching this sister, I felt the spirit and I thought how I have seen

this sister progress so much. A sister who thought that the atonement

was so far beyond her reach, who had come back and was now teaching

her fellow sister in RS about the grace and mercy that she has

experienced from the atonement even after she thought it was so far

out of her reach. I love this area and love this Ward!! I know this

gospel is true and I love it more than anything! It's true! It's true!

Everything about it is true. And I pray we will share that knowledge

with as many people as we can.

Love you all! Until next week!

Sister Callaway

Oh and we may be going to Philly next week so that email might be even

shorter but I love you all!

Also I got some happy news this week...Tony and Laura from my last

area got baptized!!! :)

My conference buddy :)--Conference with my family :) (if you can see

the picture sitting right next to me haha)--and Independence Hall

Random picture

One more picture that was literally taken like 2 seconds ago...just for you mom!! Love you all!!

Sorry this pic is so blurry but here two of my other favorite people out here :) the Hellers.

Hello loved ones

Hello loved ones!!

Okay so sorry I'm short on time but I seriously can hardly remember

what happened this week!

But it was a good one! Earlier this week we went on exchanges and it

was so weird because we are in a trio and so Sister Jolley and I went

to Vineland with Sister Hoofman and Sister Abana stayed here and took

over the area for the day with Sister Ipson. And it was weird because

I went on exchanges but I was still with one of my companions and it

just felt weird idk...anywho, exchanges were fun! And we'll the rest

of the week kind of seemed like a blur to be honest but we had a few

miracles.

First of all we started having a The Book of Mormon class on Thursday

nights at one of my favorite families home. The Mass's are great and

they are converts of about 3 years and we started doing this The Book

of Mormon class and it is great for our recent converts! Lisa came and

she loved it! She is seriously so funny I wish you could meet her

because she is great.

Then we had a lesson with two of our investigators Steve and Lisa.

They are a young couple and are expecting a baby in December well this

week we had a lesson with them at the church with some of my other

favorite people out here. Brother and Sister Vancour and they are

expecting their first baby next month, anyway we taught Steve and Lisa

The Restoration. And Brother and Sister Vancour gave beautiful

testimonies of how the gospel has blessed their family. And sister V

gave a beautiful testimony on the impact and power of prayer. And with

that I also bore my testimony of the power of prayer. And the whole

lesson went very going well and once we got up to the first vision we

had Steve watch it and once it was finished we asked him how he felt

and he said "that just reminds me of myself. I feel it here. I feel

good like I belong here." I was just smilingly like a goober just to

hear him say that and I testified to him that that was the spirit. And

he continued on by saying "i would like to be baptized." And so With

that I formally extended the invitation to be baptized to them on

December 27, 2015 and they both accepted!! Steve said "yeah I like

that start off the new year with something great." He then offered the

closing prayer for us and it was a beautiful prayer. And afterward we

explained how we had met Lisa and Steve said " And it was funny that

the sisters met Lisa when they did because we were seriously that day

wondering what we were going to do to serve God. And then they met

Lisa. And I said this is something I really want to try." And they are

just so amazing and SO prepared!! And I am so so grateful that

Heavenly Father has allowed me the opportunity to find and teach them

the gospel. They are amazing and I know they will be baptized soon! So

please pray for them! I am grateful for the tender mercies of the

Lord. For I know He is so loving and merciful to the children of men.

We also were invited to the Vancours baby shower and we talked to

quite a few nonmembers there that have lots of potential. And the. We

ended the week with a great sabbath day. Steve and Lisa were there and

so was Rick! Which we were so grateful for! Heavenly Father is really

blessing us here in Medford!

Something I've learned of Diligence this week. I've learned that sour

diligence in keeping the Lords commandments shows our love for Him. No

matter how or where we serve if we are diligent in keeping the

commandments of the Lord we will have an indescribably joy that comes.

I can testify of that because I am feeling it in my life right now as

a missionary. I know the gospel is true with all of my heart and soul.

And I love it more than anything. Love you all sorry this is so short!

Until next week! Love you all!

~Sister Amy Callaway~

And here's some blurry pictures from The Book of Mormon class on

Thursday with Brother Mass's selfie stick!

Hello my loved ones!!

Hello my loved ones!!

So I heard Hay started school this morning...😢 what the heck?!? Time

goes by so fast! I still feel like you just started your senior year!

(Ps I still never got any pictures from graduation...just sayin)

anywho, I hope you're all enjoying life! As for Jersey, it's FINALLY

starting to cool down here and turn into fall and I am SO excited!! I

can't wait to see all the beautiful leaves turn! Ah! Also somebody

give my Ashlyn a big Happy Birthday kiss from me this week.

So this week was pretty great. It had its ups and downs as does every

week but overall it was pretty great. And we ended the week with an

awesome Sunday. We did a lot more finding this week because we've had

to drop quite a few people simply because they aren't ready to here

the gospel yet. But I still love all these people like crazy, it's

insane. I often tell people that the best part about being a

missionary is how much you come to love people. And it really is. I

love this Ward SO much, and I love our investigators SO much. And I

always get sad when we have to stop teaching someone because they

aren't ready just because I have come to love and care for them so

much. Charity, the pure love of Christ, Christ-Like love whichever way

you prefer to say it, it truly does make the most remarkable

difference in a persons life. When you start to love and serve people

the way the Savior would, something in you changes and also in the

lives of those you serve. (Moroni 7:45-48)

And so speaking of charity and the many tender mercies of the Lord, we

have this one investigator whose name is Rick. Rick has been meeting

with missionaries for a little over a year now and he has had some

really trying times in his life. A lot of experiences that have really

tested his faith in God and made him wonder if there even is a God.

And for a while we felt that maybe we should stop teaching him, we

were torn because we cared for him so much but he also wasn't willing

to try and make much progress. So after talking to some of our leaders

and praying about it we felt that it might be time to stop teaching

him. But this week we had 4 lessons with Rick. We started a Book of

Mormon class that we have on Thursdays and usually Rick doesn't like

to come to things like that but this week HE CAME!! And trust me that

is a huge milestone for him. And when he came he enjoyed himself and

just reading from the scriptures. The next day our Bishop, Bishop

Nicholls invited us over for dinner and asked us to invite Rick to

come too. And so we did, and Rick came again! And again...that is huge

for him. And then right after dinner we had a meeting but then we had

another lesson with Rick at the church building with our Ward mission

Leader And his wife, Brother and Sister Feuz. And again even having a

lesson at the church is huge because most often he doesn't ever want

to leave the comfort of his own apartment. And this lesson was really

the make it break it lesson. We planned on inviting him to be baptized

because he have taught him almost everything the only thing is just

that he wouldn't really give us a firm commitment. And this was the

most spiritual lesson we have ever had with him, and when it finally

came time to invite him to be baptized he hesitated for a bit, but

then said "yes I am willing to work towards that." And so we have not

stopped teaching Rick, and thank goodness because none of us wanted

to. We know that the blessings that the gospel brings but we couldn't

force him to live the gospel obviously, that had to come from within

himself. And so we are still working with Rick and he will be baptized

soon!!

Also this week we had Zone Training. And we were asked by our Zone

Leaders to present some training on How To Begin Teaching found in

Preach My Gospel. And I thought "oh yeah that's no problem we can

totally train the Zone on that." Well come the next morning at Zone

Training President and Sister Anderson decided to surprise us all by

coming to our meeting! Totally unexpected and then I got all nervous

having to train everyone including President on that. But all was well

and we had a fun time. One of the best parts about Zone Training this

week though was the role play that we did. The role play that we all

had to do was ask each other questions and then we had to answer every

question using The Book of Mormon. It was such a fun role play, and I

honestly have to say that I did not realize how well I knew the

scriptures. I'm not meaning to say that in a boastful way but really

as people were asking questions immediately I could think of any

scripture and turn right to it and answer their question! And we were

challenged to use The Book of Mormon everyday. And so that's what

we've been doing! And it is truly amazing how you can seriously answer

any question with scriptures. Each time I read The Book of Mormon

though the spirit just reconfirms to me that there is no way that this

book cannot be true. I am so grateful for the scriptures and pray that

we'll all, if we haven't already begin a sincere study of the

scriptures. So that we can know our Savior and Heavenly a father more

personally.

And also yesterday at church Lisa was confirmed!!! It was another

great spiritual experience. We hadn't been able to see her this last

week because of her work schedule, and so when we saw her on Sunday we

were so excited! But this time when I saw her at church yesterday I

just stopped for a second and looked at her and I can honestly say

that there was such a drastic difference in her. She LOOKED different.

A good different of course, but there was truly a light about her.

Even just one week after her baptism she looked so different! And what

also made me so happy was yesterday when she walked into church she

didn't walk in looking for us, she walked right in and started talking

to the other members like she has been part of the Ward her whole

life. And for us that is a HUGE relief. It really is, that she is

making friends and feeling at home there in the Ward with the other

members brings joy to my heart. And when she was confirmed yesterday I

walked up to her and asked her how she felt and she said "it was

amazing, you could really feel like it. It was just like the baptism,

it was powerful." And Made sure to help her recognize that that was

the priesthood, she felt the power in it because it truly was

preformed with the power of God. I was grateful to Heavenly Father

again that He allowed us the opportunity to be her guides through this

journey.

And quickly I would just like to bear my testimony of The Book of

Mormon. I know and testify without a doubt in my mind and without any

reservation that The Book of Mormon is a true and inspired book.

Brought forth in our day for us, to help us know more of what our

Father in Heaven has planned for us and what He needs us to do in

order to return to live with him again. The more I read the Bible and

The Book of Mormon together I see just how plainly they teach the same

gospel. Just how beautifully they testify if the Savior and His

divinity. And how perfectly they compliment and testify of one

another. There is no way that any honest seeker of truth, if he

sincerely and prayerfully reads that book that you could ever tell me

that it is not true. The spirit has told me many times that it is, and

I will never be mistaken when I say that it too is the very word of

God. For everything taught therein only invites and entices to do good

to love God and to serve Him. I pray that we all will begin again and

if we have not already that we will now begin a sincere study of The

Book of Mormon and be able to gain a stronger relationship with our

Savior. He is real, He is there, He lives and He loves us.

"62 I speak by way of command unto you that belong to the church; and

unto those who do not belong to the church I speak by way of

invitation, saying: Come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye also

may be partakers of the fruit of the tree of life." (Alma 5:62)

I love you all until next week!!

A picture from Lisa's baptism last week! One from Zone Training!! One

from the MTC of Christa and I! One of my favorite members in the Ward

Sister Gunn she is from Fiji-sorry its kinda blurry though. And a

random one from the MTC--almost 9 months ago!! What the heck??

Hello my beloved family!!

Hello my beloved family!!

So this week was pretty great well because......ONE OF OUR

INVESTIGATORS GOT BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!! Aaaaahhh!!! It was so

exciting! There have been few times that I have ever felt the spirit

that strong. Her name is Lisa, and her story is quite remarkable. She

had been taught by missionaries about 4 or 5 years ago when the Elders

were here. And it was right before I got here that Sister Jolley found

her again after many missionaries had not been able to contact her for

years.Sister Jolley said that that day when they found her, Sister

Jolley and her companion almost didn't stop by when she suddenly she

felt prompted to turn the car around and go stop by. As they pulled up

Lisa was walking out of her house and said that she had been thinking

about the church a lot recently. And that she felt that she was ready

to finally "take the plunge." So once I got here that two transfers

ago was when we really started teaching Lisa. And we could plainly see

how the Lord was preparing her. She started giving up every addictive

habit she had before we even taught her the Word of Wisdom! It has

truly been a privilege and a blessing to witness the change that has

occurred in her. And I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to

teach her. Yesterday at her baptism we got to stand on the steps and

watch her be baptized and we got to be there when she came out of the

font and I just cried...I never couldve imagined what it would feel

like to watch someone that I have come to love so much and someone

that I got to help and teach and watch struggle and overcome so many

things enter into the waters of baptism to make this first covenant

with our Heavenly Father. It's only the beginning for sure but it is a

great beginning. And I'm going to do everything in my power to help

her remain active and strong in the gospel. And it is amazing to me to

see what Lisa was willing to give up to follow the Savior. She gave up

so many things and stood strong in her decision to follow the Lord. I

am truly grateful to my Heavenly Father and humbled for Him allowing

me the opportunity to see her be baptized. I don't dare say that WE

had a baptism, it was not OUR baptism. We were simply her guides in

helping her to learn about the gospel and it was a great opportunity

that the Lord allowed me to be one of her guides to help her come unto

Him.

And also if I'm correct, no one has confirmed it for me yet but two of

my last investigators in my last area were scheduled to be baptized

yesterday!! Tony and Laura if you remember me talking about them, I

love them so much!! So that's technically 3 baptisms in one weekend!!

I am seriously just so dang happy right now!

Also we had two of our newest investigators at church yesterday! Their

names are Stephen and Lisa. And they are expecting a little baby boy

in December. They have been looking for a church and we found them and

have been teaching them for a while now. And they came to church and

loved it!! So o will keep you posted on their progress as well. I just

love them!

And as for something I have learned this week, yesterday in Relief

Society we watched a talk by John Bytheway from May 2015 given at the

Women's conference I believe. And I highly recommend it by the way.

But in it he talked all about Becoming. Becoming who the Lord intends

for us to become. And how through the gospel we can do exactly that.

This morning during studies Sister Abana was telling me what she

learned about Charity and how like my favorite verses in Moroni state

that when we develop Charity we become like our Savior. And when she

said that for some reason I immediately thought of The Lion King. And

the scene where Simba sees his Father appearing to him in the field

(which I think we are all familiar with and how gospel related it is)

But I also thought of the scene where Simba looks into the water and

he sees not his reflection but his Fathers instead. And I thought of

how symbolic that is for us. I also thought of the scripture in Alma 5

that asks "have he received His image in your countenance?" And that

hopefully in some future day we will be able to look up at our Savior

and find that we have become very much like him from tryin so hard to

do His work. I love the gospel more than anything and I am continually

learning and growing. I know this gospel is true with all of my heart

and I bear witness that the gospel is the only thing that will give us

eternal joy and happiness.

I love you all!! Until next week!

Hello my beloved pamilya!!

Hello my beloved pamilya!!

(That family in Tagalog in case you were wondering...Sister Abana has been teaching me some haha) I hope everyone had a fantastic week!! Sorry this email is probably going to be super short but we are short on time today! Anyway, this week just feels like a blur I can hardly remember what happened! Also I heard Lexi got married! And Taylor got home from his mission! Which means Connor VanLiew also got home which means Chase is coming home soon!! What the heck that is so crazy! Time seriously goes by so dang fast when you are on a mission, I seriously can't believe that I've already been on my mission for 7 months now! I can remember being up at Rexburg like it was yesterday! But that was almost a year ago! Crazy!

Anyway so this we taught quite a few lessons which was awesome!! We taught out investigator Lisa who is getting baptized in the next few weeks!! Training is going great and I just love Sister Abana! She is so awesome! And she cooks which is great too! But since I can hardly remember this week and I practically out of time I will tell you some of what I have learned this week! 

One of my favorite chapters in the bible is John 10. I love this parable that the Savior uses when describing the sheep and the Good shepherd. When talking about the wolf that is coming to devour the sheep most people would say that the wolf is probably satan. And to some degree I would agree but I labeled the wolf Justice. The sheep are us. And the Good Shepherd is the Savior. And I love this parable so much because it really puts into perspective what the Savior and His Atonement does for us. If you are familiar with the chapter then you know that as the Savior describes it the wolf comes to devour the sheep. But in trying to do so the Good shepherd intercedes and stands between the wolf and the sheep. Or in other words because He laid down His life for us and atoned for our sins He stands between us and justice. We will all be justified according to the laws of justice because God is a just God but He is also a merciful God. And because He sent His Son to pay the price for our sins He can then apply mercy to us. A quote from Brad Wilcox explains it better than I ever could, he says

"Christ asks us to show faith in Him, repent, make and keep covenants, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. By complying, we are not paying the demands of justice--not even the smallest part. Instead, we are showing appreciation for what Jesus Christ did by using it to live a life like His. Justice requires immediate perfection or a punishment when we fall short. Because Jesus took that punishment, He can offer us the chance for ultimate perfection (see Matthew 5:48; 3 Nephi 12:48) and help us reach that goal. He can forgive what justice never could, and He can turn to us now with His own set of requirements."

There are Scriptures in Mosiah 15:9 that support this too. But I just love that truth. That the Savior loves us so much that He payed the price for our sins and that by so doing He can stand between us and justice, and He can stop the punishment that we are to suffer because He already paid that price for us. And as long as we keep all of His commandments we will inherit all the blessings He has in store for us. I am grateful for our merciful and loving father in Heaven who loves us more than anything that He sent His son to die for us. I know they live and I love them with all of my heart and soul. 

Love you all!! 

Until next week

~Sister Amy Callaway~

First week of training

Hello my family!

Well so this last week was absolutely crazy! But first of all...WE GOT OUR NEW GOLDEN!! Her name is Sister Abana! And she is the cutest little Filipino girl you've ever met (well besides Ashlyn of course) but anyway she is from Pampanga in the Philippines which is close to Manila she told me. But so last week we got the call from President that our new Sister Abana would be coming in around 8:20 pm on Wednesday and that President was going to just bring her to District Meeting the next day on Thursday. When they arrived I was so excited to meet her and the first thing I asked her was, "do you know a Sister Hansen in the Philippines??" And she said "oh yes I do!" And I said "that one of my best friends!" And the look on Presidents face was hilarious haha and he was so surprised! But it was so great to be able to make that connection. It was a tender mercy from the Lord I think with her being so far away from home. Sister Abana flew from the Philippines to Japan to Atlanta and then to Philadelphia finally. But she missed her flight in Atlanta and didn't get into Philadelphia until 1am...poor girl she was exhausted. But she finally arrived! And we were so excited! 

After District Meeting we had four lessons that day and so we were running around and had a wonderful day teaching and getting to know her. She is so sweet and is really such a powerful teacher I feel like we don't even have to do anything to train her. But she has been out for about a month and a half already she was serving in the Manila mission waiting for her visa. But now she is here and we are so happy she is! She definitely has already added something to our companionship that was missing! 

And so then after Thursday President told us that there would be a training meeting for all of the trainers and the new missionaries and the trainers at the mission home the next day. So on Friday we had to wake up super early to get ready and then we left to drive towards Philly. And Sister Jolley hates driving in Philly but we made it through safely and in one piece thank goodness. And I got to see the temple briefly! But oh my, was it beautiful!! I hope I'll be able to go back soon to see it! Anyway the training meeting was so great!! And I was so impressed with all of these brand new missionaries! We got to hear each of them best their testimonies and it was such a spiritual experience to hear them all express their love and gratitude for the Savior and His Gospel. One thing that I noticed was that almost each and every new missionary (there was 35 of them I believe) almost said the same thing to the effect of "I know that I am where the Lord needs me to be right now." And it helped me to finally realize that I truly truly am where the Lord needs me at this present time. I am coming to realize more and more of the personal conversion that is taking place while being in the full time service of my Savior and Heavenly Father. Because it is a continual growing process, and I am grateful that there is no end to progression in the gospel because I certainly have a looooong ways to go. 

After Golden Re-Training though we had to drive back through the jungle of cars in Philly to get back into Jersey for our dinner appointment. And then right after dinner we had to rush back to the apartment so that I could pack for exchanges really quick and then we drove to meet the STL's for exchanges! We met them at about 9:00 pm and exchanged. And so I had the opportunity to go with Sister Wilko to Vineland NJ while Sister Hoofman came here to Medford with Sister Jolley and Sister Abana. 

While I was in Vineland with Sister Wilko we had SO much fun!! She helped me with a lot of things concerning training and then we got to teach a few lessons. The first was with a recent convert named Lenton. Lenton is an older man and he is basically deaf. And so when we went to teach him we literally had to yell as we were teaching because otherwise he couldn't hear haha. So there we were just shouting in his ear the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy. But he was adorable. And then he offered the closing prayer which I guess is huge for him but it was great.

Then we went to teach another recent convert who's name is Vaughnie. Vaughnie is this adorable tiny little old woman. And seriously she is smaller than me but she was so cute. We taught her about baptism again just to remind her about what she promised when she was baptized. And then taught her about the temple and preparing her to go soon. She was just so sweet and the spirit was so strong while teaching her. 

And then the last lesson we had was with a family and it was honestly one of the most spiritual lessons I have ever been a part of. We had our last lesson with the Ditzel family and Sister Wilko had told me that they had not been progressing for some time but they just felt like they shouldn't stop teaching them. As we went she gave me more of a summary about them. When we arrived at their house I could see that they lived in very humble circumstances and that they were such a sweet family. As we began talking they talked about their trials and how the Lord has humbled them in many ways. Immediately I thought of my favorite Mormon Message "The Will of God." And I shared with them. They loved it because it applied to them but then we basically just built our lesson off of that. We originally planned on teaching them The Gospel of Jesus Christ but the spirit had something else in mind. It was an amazing lesson and the spirit was so strong the dad even started to cry saying that he knows that this is the truth. The spirit filled the room and then we invited him and his family to be baptized by someone holding the Priesthood authority and they accepted and said that they were willing to do anything to be together forever. I was so grateful for that experience and even though I had just met these people I was overcome with love for them. 

Which bring me to one of my favorites topics: Charity. I studied charity a lot. And I love charity. My favorite scriptures are even about Charity and becoming like the Savior. The more we strive to develop Charity, that pure love of Christ, then the rest of the Christ-like attributes will come with it. I love in Moroni 7 how it describes what Charity is. I was also studying in Preach My Gospel about Charity and I read the scripture found in Matt. 22:37-39 

"37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

And as I thought about that it stood out to me that the first and second greatest commandment is to have Charity. A pure love for the lord and also for others, but also for ourselves. It dawned on me that if you don't have that same Christ-like love for yourself it will be hard for you to have that same love for other people. Someone very close to me told me right before I left on my mission to "love everyone." And I can honestly say that that has made all the difference. Loving the people I serve, loving my companions when times may be hard and discouraging, and loving the members. I echo Jeffrey R Holland when he said that "pure Christ-like love is the greatest need we have in this world." And I couldn't agree more. The pure love of Christ changes everything. When you love the Lord with everything that you have, and you experience how much He loves you, then you can't help but feel a portion of that same love He has for His other children. 

"45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail--

47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."

I hope we'll all be able to develop that Charity and strive to become more like our Savior through conversion to His gospel. I love you all and I know that this is gospel is true! Ip until next week!

Sister Abana making some awesome Filipino food!!~And some of the cutest puppies you've ever seen!(please excuse the messy hair their was a horrible storm that day haha) and Sister Abana passed out after 20 hours of traveling :(
