Wow, I can't
believe you have SOOoo much snow! As I looked at those pictures, I don't even
remember what it feels like to be that cold. Let's hope that it warms up a bit
before April. Oh, good ol' Cache Valley:)
So first before I
forget... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Bethany!!!! Sorry, I haven't found any spare minutes
to write you a card like last year, but I love you a lot and hope you have such
a great day! Same to my cute nephew CAM!!! Man, that blows my mind he's turning
one! Ahhhh those pictures of Cam and Aiden were SOOOoo adorable! Man , I have
the cutest pamangking ever!!
So yeah this week,
to tell you the truth, I was thinking about it this morning, and it wasn't too
eventful. We just worked, worked, worked. Our investigator, Macmac, who is 11
is getting close to his baptism. He lives with his grandma and grandpa who are
members, and he is SO smart for an 11 year old. Because he's living with them,
we have permission that he can be baptized, and he's SO ready. He reads every day,
even in D&C. He's been taught by other missionaries before and remembers
most of it. He was so cute this last week; he gave us roses for Valentine's
Day. He was the only one to give us a gift. So yeah he will probably be
baptized the 3rd week in March.
We also just
started teaching Melody, a nanny for a member, who is SO prepared! Our first
lesson she opened up and said that she was so interested in learning. She told
us her whole life she's never even held a Bible or really prayed. At the end of
the lesson we were able to give her a baptismal date of March 30 which she
happily accepted. Then when we went back for the second lesson, she explained
that she was nervous to ask her parents for permission to change religions since
she's only 21 because a few years ago her older sister wanted to, and they
didn't allow it. But she said that she prayed, and when she called them, they
said it was up to her, whatever made her happy. She said she was so surprised,
and she knows that it was because of her prayers. She's so awesome!
Then this weekend
we ended up having a CSP for a member who is a dentist. She just moved offices
so we cleaned out her old office for her. That's about all that comes to my
mind this week. Sorry this is probably a boring e-mail.
Sister Tuia is
doing great. You say her name “tuya.” This Wednesday we are finishing up our
first transfer together which I know you're not surprised to hear that it went
by so fast! Just like every other one. And it will be no surprise that this
next one will fly by. I don't like it:( Although I'm so excited to see each and
every one of you . . . well you know how it is. As I work through where I’m
going to live spring and fall semesters, man, I don't even want to think of this
all, but it's going to come up right after I go home so it's have to get it taken
care of.
Oh you mentioned the new missions that are
opening up!! Isn't that so exciting??!!! Yeah they told our mission before it
was announced in church news. My first area, Carmona and then Novaleta as well
will be in the Cavite mission. Our mission will be splitting which is so crazy!
So exciting as well! This transfer day we're getting two new missionaries here
in Mandaluyong, and they’re making a Manda 4th ward. They're opening up like seven
new areas this transfer, I think I heard. It's so awesome!
Well have a great
week, and give little Cam a big hug and kiss for his birthday from his aunt
that's far, far away. Love you all so much.
Mahal ko kayo,
Sister Stromberg
