The Church is true, the Book is blue :)

Well, another week has passed by! And the time just keeps going faster and faster and faster! It's crazy!! And I love it =] Being a missionary really is the best thing ever.

I guess I'll start on Monday. So after we emailed, we were riding on the bus ride home and the zone leaders called saying we needed to come and clean the chapel. Well when we got there, it turned out to be a little surprise birthday party instead =] It was way fun! And one of the elders decided he would like to put chocolate icing on everyone's face... So by the end of the night, we all had chocolate everywhere. But it was way fun!

Surprise birthday party the Zone leaders threw for Sister Wilwand

Complete with chocolate icing!

On Wednesday, we have our zone interviews with our Mission President and his wife. It was so good! They really have been called of God to be the leaders in our mission. You can just tell by the way that they lead and give workshops and everything. They are fantastic. Things in our mission are definitely changing for the better, and I love it! We had some inspiring workshops about finding, teaching, manners, and all sorts of other things. It was great.

On Friday, we ended up having a CSP where we cleaned up a whole street full of garbage and grass. It was actually super fun. And we even found some really really cute tiny frogs. I mean like super super tiny. I'll make sure I send some pictures.

CSP, or Community Service Project (and those pants again!)

And the teeny, tiny frogs...

On Saturday, we got to attend the general women's session of general conference! (We watch all the sessions a week later here.) We actually ended up watching the sessions from last April, but it was so good! If you haven't watched it yet, I would go watch it. It talked a lot about missionary work, and opening our mouths. It talked about how there are 'help wanted' signs all over the world that we can answer to. It was really great.

On Sunday, we had church! I love church! Sunday is probably one of my favorite days of the week. It's always so great! And yesterday, we had such a good experience with one of our recent converts. She is an even better missionary than we are. She helps to start teaching all of her neighbors that live next to her. She's not shy to share the gospel with anyone at all. It's way awesome =]

Oh, and on Saturday, my companion and I went jogging, and it was the best. And on our way home, we stopped at a bakery and got some fresh bread for breakfast. And that's the way you go running in the Philippines =D

Well, I love you all, and I hope you are all doing well!! I hope you all had the chance to watch General Conference. If not, go watch it =] The Church is true, the Book is blue ;)

Love you all!

Love,

Sister Wilwand

One thing Sister Wilwand misses is real milk (and real ice cream) but she did find some decent strawberry milk recently.

Although her Hump Day package (Half-way mark) arrived almost two months after her actual Hump Day in July, Sister Wilwand's birthday package arrived just in time - cute blouse!
