Hey

Hey Everyone :)

Just since my mom was worried....none of you need to worry about the Typhoon that happened last week...nothing happened here on this little island. Casi (pronounced cause see)...the island of Iloilo is in the middlle of a bunch of other islands so basically, we are protected by other islands...so nothing will hit us. Usually ever. So yah thats that. Um well not much has happened here this week, but we did have some more members work with us and we were pretty bold with some if our longest investigators...so we hope that well start to see stuff from that. But um also...its been a struggle lately in many thngs but ive been learning a lot about literally the power of the mind and the impact of your thoughts to the things around you, and how once you change that perspective, it changes so much so drastically. so thats been cool. President Monson said a talk called "Living the Abundant life" and in this talk he literally talks and testifies about how your attitude or thoughts can literally change your whole outlook on life he says there is three ABC to his talk. The first is Attitude, then Belief of the belief in yourself and then Choice or choosing to be happy. He says, "You can't change the wind, but you can adjust the sails" If any  of you havent read it, you should. I really have a goal to master my mind...so many times in my life ive let my mind control me and so now im going to be in charge of my mind and im going to control it. :) and cool things do happen when you change your perspective on life. I know that to be true. I feel, its almost like by changing our perespective, we allow or block certain blessings from coming to us that wouldve come or wouldnt have come if wed thought a different way its quite cool. My third area has been the absolute hardest so far. But as i work day by day to change certain perspectives...itll become much easier even though it is still hard, if that makes any sense...its like how God wont change our situation, He'll just give us the strength to handle the situation. :) There i think that clearer. Anyway, i hit one more month on top of my year year mark now...this is crazy still. 13 months. Dang. Anyway...things are looking good and im doing good. Hope youre all enjoying life. I miss the cold. lol 

The joys of a mission,
