Sister Delgado serves in the Great Legazpi! : Divine Intervention‏

HELLO ALL!

So this week was grand, as all the rest are.

There has been a brown out like everyday and the wind and rain has been very heavy. Like everytime sis Wilks and I are like "Woah, are we going make it back home from these crazy storms?" and of course we always do. haha.

One time we went out to dinner and the storm was so powerful and strong and the power went out. Quite chaotic. lol. So our Zone Leaders told us to just stay inside wherever we were until its safe to come outside again. That happend like 3 times this week. Good way to open our mouths to those within our reach.

The highlights of this week was when the Legazpi saints put on a relief society activity where we'd go out to fellowship the less actives and recent converts of the ward.

Sister Wilkins and I went on splits, and I went with Sister Go the relief society president to a bunch of less actives I didnt know where in my area and to some I did know.

We shared about charity being the pure love of Christ, and how the love of Christ is what motivates us all to go about and doing good for others.

Sister Go didn't know one of the less actives I brought her to, Sister Pou Botero who is 12 years old. They live in a terrible conditions bamboo and wooden home with tarp as their walls. When it rains, the water leaks right through inside, thus making their home flood quite frequently. It was apparent to Sister Go that Pou didn't have much support financially or emotionally in her endeavors to come to church of grow spiritually. Sister Go, however, was so touched at Pou's kindness and willingness to participate in the message we gave to her and felt the savior's love for this little girl, she started to cry in the middle of her testimony and felt the spirit so strongly. Being with the relief society and seeing their willingness to fellowship others was exceedingly touching to me.

Also, Sister Wilkins almost died this week. haha not really, but really.

We hiked up Gilbert and Betty (investigators since June) and their hill is massive, steep, and about 30 feet long. President told us to only go there when its light, which we did. The lesson just ended up being very long, and it so happened to rain. So the hike back down was dark, wet, and full of heavy rain. For those who know me, you already know the walk down was very difficult, and at my expense extremely humorous. Poor Sister Wilkins was so close to the finish line, but as she lost her balance, she grabbed on to a tree branch to catch her balance... and lets just say she took the tree branch with her.

I was so frighted that she was going to roll down all the way to he bottom of the hill. But because of some sort of divine intervention, she lived! She just lost one of her crocs and a bit of her Utah hiking dignity. haha.

Letsss see what else.

I really enjoyed reading in the doctrine and covenants this week about the Lord's council to the early saints of the chruch and that with diligence in the work, the building of Zion will be established. That principle is still the same today and I'm so grateful for the Lord's tender mercies upon me and my companion every day.

Love you all!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I'll be thinking of you all.
