Talk about a wild
week!
to keep things short I
will most likely do things in bullet points bc I'm weird like that.
1.
never in my life
would i think that rain would be such a blessing to my health but it has been.
The air is actually clean now and it has been making days here sa MTC much
better :) plus the clouds have been super low to a point where we are literally
in some! 10/10
2.
I threw my pen to the
ground and it stuck up. Super awesome evening. to follow up with that day
(Wednesday) I also went to the doctors and they told me I had a super bad sinus
infection so that was cool. Got to go off campus to the Urgent Care and then
even more off campus to go to the Pharmacy. It was fun leaving the MTC even for
a lil bit.
3.
I'm super proud of
myself because I'm actually being an organized and clean person here. SO much
that I took a picture of my desk here.
4.
Still weird but serving
the Lord. We are truly a blessed generation and people to be representatives of
Jesus Christ and preach of his doctrine of Mahal to ng Tao sa Pilipinas
5.
I had to say goodbye
to some amazing friends here as they left for Manila last monday :( I'm heading
out to Manila though next week (hopefully. either then or the week after but no
one actually knows for sure. they wont say)
6.
My Friend is dying as
well. (he got mono)
7.
Still weird
8.
Still weird
9.
Still strong
10.
Still have a testimony
of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
11.
Me and 364 other
missionaries get to represent Jesus Christ himself as well as the face of the
Missionaries of ang Simbahan ni Jesuchristo ang mga Banal sa mga Huling Araw
this saturday at 2pm Mountan Standard time! (Arizona peeps that's at 1 pm for you
and everyone else you figure it out) and I'm super excited to be able to sing
in front of my favorite organ in the entire world (not to mention the 12th
largest organ in the world and 4th largest that is still played) as it
accompanies us! TALK ABOUT A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE (thanks Lauren ;) )
12.
I've had a lot of time
to think about my purpose as a missionary and as a member of such an amazing
church and it came to my realization (i like to call it a mishpiph (thanks
sisters (and yes i just parenthesized inside of a parentheses twice (OOF))))
that our purpose is to share Joy and happiness. to invite the spirit into
peoples homes and to truly INVITE them to come unto Christ as an example. Of
all the blessings we have here in this world, our greatest one is the Agency to
choose what our future is going to be. So as I head to the Philipinas I will be
there teaching the lessons of Jesus Christ, being an example of him, and
sharing Joy to the people! I'm super excited for it all as anyone should be for
such a thing. If any of you run into a missionary that is complaining about
their mission, tell them they're doing it wrong.
13.
Big things are coming
through in terms of missionary work. To add to it, Of course everyone here is
spreading rumors like CRAZY BOIIII worse than HS rumors going around. these
rumors include ! China is going to open @ sisters can serve for 2 years #
changes to missionary handbook and other such things will be announced (they
already announced updates to PMG) & the China mission will be a sisters only
mission
these rumors are based
on, ! Stake presidents have not been turning in mission applications for the
past 3 weeks now @ people have literally been getting their calls saying
"you will find out in genconf" # updated PMG usually follows
everything else getting updated & also its President Russel M Nelson. what
else can you expect....
Okay how I wrote so
much in 30 minutes HKA?
either way, I got a
conference to sing in.
-Elder Kolipoki

infection
P.P.S. Alligators want
to say "in a while" sometimes as well
