Almost 8 months out....CRAZY!!!

I cant believe ive reached past the 1/4th mark already...crazy. It blows my mind 8 months i cant beleive how fast the time has flown by. It just hit me this week after trying to figure out after someone asking me questions that ive been out almost 8 months!!! i cant believe it! But oh well thats the facts of life. But anyway..this week has been insightful and ive learned A TON!!! like a whole bunch. We just had the mission tour yesterday and Elder Nielson spoke to us form the 70 and he really like trained us...it was awesome!! I wasnt even hungry for lunch because i had learned so much and im really applying it to my work now and i just continue to learn its crazy. My mind has been enlightened so much by the purpose of questions and what they are for and how to receive revalation through them. Like in 1 Nephi 11..Nephi does this "Revelatory Process" and its awesome.
First is "what desirest thou?" ASK. God can only give us answers if we ask for them.
Second is "What believest thou?" NEED FAITH. God wants to know what we believe in or He'll test our faith to see if we believe we'll receive. 
Third is  "Look!", Look for what God is trying to show you.
Fourth is "What beholdest thou?" We need to to understand what it is we are searching for and our answer. Try to recognize it.
Fifth is "What desirest thou?" Once you have that understanding, ask for more clarification about what you have just received.
I ask all of you at home to read that chapter and really ponder and really try and figure out this revelatory that Nephi shows to us in chapter 11. Cause it works to receive revelation. Just read it and apply it to your life...i promise your mind will be enlightened and you'll understand the importance of questions according to revelation. If you say a prayer before for what you want...you will be enlightened.
"Ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you" If you dont ASK, God cant answer...even if He wants to, He wont give us something that we dont literally ask for. Pretty cool huh?
Anyway so ive been learning about that and its really an answer to my prayers. :) It was cool to shake a general authority's hand also :) There are some way cool experiences here that are just awesome :)  Its crazy how much we can learn when we really are led by the Spirit :)
I love the mission :) Love the people!! Love you all and i hope all is well with you. Remember the Windows of Heaven are open to all. To all  who are willing to ask, God will not withhold. :)
I guess thats about it. Still loving Guimaras and still learning lots. Although i feel as if ive been 19 forever...my birthday is taking forever to get here lol...its just funny. :) The language is also starting to make sense and im really starting to soar in that. There are many people who have been like wow...youre way good now at ilonggo lol so good things are happening :)
