Week 48

Hey guys!! 

So another transfer day has come and gone and guess what? I get to stay in Calapacuan with sister Burt!!! Sister Barlow transferred out of our apartment though so that was sad, but sister Talent moved in and she's super nice so no problems there :) Me and sister Burt were so excited that we got to stay together again because we are literally so so close now and just work so well together and have 2 more baptisms this Saturday!! whoooooooo! 

Mhae and Hajie are getting baptized!!! We are sooooo excited for those two, because they have gone through A LOT to get here. Mhae has such an amazing and strong testimony of the gospel and is such and amazing inspiration to me. Everyone in her compound (the area where she lives) is rude to her, makes fun of her, and swears at her for listening to us and for getting baptized, but she told me she doesn't care. She said in her own words " this gospel now means everything to me, becoming a member of the true church of Jesus Christ is an opportunity that I must grab at the first chance I have. This is my eternal life and happiness I am talking about, not just my short time here on earth." Then just a few days later her house got robbed and they took all their appliances (which means their rice cookers)  and all their money! You know what she said when it happened? "Sisters don't worry this is just a trial, they can take my money, but they can't take my desire to follow Christ and be baptized." I just wanted to cry for her because she literally has nothing now, but because of her strong faith I know miracles are coming her way. 

Hajie is also doing amazing and has had a rough journey to get to where he is now. His mom is Adela who just got baptized last month. His Dad and his brother are pastors at another church and just rip into him anytime he mentions the church. One time he didn't come to church which was weird because he loves coming to church, so we came over later to see if he was ok and we found out his brother got in a fight with him because Hajie told him he's getting baptized. We asked hajie if he was ok and just simple stated "of course sisters! I don't care what he says or does to me, he just doesn't understand. My decision to get baptized is the best one I will probably make in my whole life and I feel at peace to know I will be in the true church." Ahhhhh seriously, nothing better than hearing the people you've taught from day one say things like that. I just love those two.. 

But for other events, lets talk about general conference! Oh my gosh how amazing was that??? I loved it! Its so weird to think by next conference I will about to be coming home! I'ts slowly creeping up but I'm just gonna keep working harder than ever here! Well I gotta go but I love you all and miss you tons!!! Be good! :)  

Love,

Sister Lowe
