Sister Healey's Adventure in the Philippines: Rainy Days

Maayong Buntag!

And happy winter! Even here right now I'm freezing! It has been raining for the past week and it's SO cold. After getting pictures from back home with news about all the snow and ice -- I'm going to become a human popsicle!

Anyway... this week has been good. :) Tuesday we went to Ormoc for our interviews with our Mission President, which went great. I really like our mission President and his wife, the Maurers. They are great.

It's been a week of hard work, especially with the conditions right now. A lot of people are sick and everyone just sleeps all day long when it rains and is cold. But push pa more! It was still a good week.

This week I have just really felt how we have to keep pressing forward. No matter when we experience rejection, keep trying. Look at the bright side. Keep a positive outlook. Choose to be happy. And then when we make mistakes, we need to humble ourselves and be quick to ask for forgiveness. When others wrong us, we need to quickly give forgiveness, even when they don't ask for it. Our time here on earth is so short. Let's make the most of it. Enjoy the little moments. "Where ever you are, be all there."

Friday we had an FHE with our recent convert Maria. She is doing great. We had fun, and despite the weather, we still made the most of it.

I love you all! I hope you are all staying safe and healthy despite the cold! Amping kamo kanunay.

love,

Sister Healey
