A Piece of Heaven.

Dear loved one, This week I experienced a piece of heaven. Through all the trials we have been going through, this Sunday made it all worth it. We have to know the hard to know the sweet. I was sitting in the sacrament room. There sat sister Roxanne our Recent Convert. Even though her mom is not very supportive of her being a member is not very nice and hard on her, she shows her increased faith of God. She is standing as a witness of Him for what she knows is right. She is a woman of faith. Then I noticed our LA sister Irene Matos was sitting in front of us with HER HUSBAND! There is a special spirit i feel when families are together as parents, a couple. She was so happy her husband came to church. She is returning back and showing her faith in Christ by keeping the commandments even though they dont have any money and there pamasahe she spent to go to the church was probably their food money. Then I looked to the left. There was Sister Allen Lado. Tears felt into my eyes as i saw her faith. Being a single mom at the house, her husband comes to visit once a year. She earns money by selling little candies she makes. We are teaching her the doctrine and she is understanding it and acting on it. Her daughters were there too. She has no money or food. But God always provides a was for his people to keep the commandments. I traveled to Lopez, it is up in the bundok and really far, to do exchanges. Then we had more exchanges in Tayabas. Today we are traveling to the island again to do exchanges, we are leaving in like 5 min! There is a festival here in Tayabas right now. Everyone is out and there are tons of beggars asking for money. They are celebrating the saint michael. Everyone will be drunk soon so its a good thing we are leaving to Marinduque. Love you!
