Hearts are Prepared by the Lord

Magandang hapon sa lahat!!

Hello everyone!! Kumusta po kayo talaga?! I'm getting close to only having 8 months left in the mission field, crazy, huh? It's going by faster and faster ever week and I'm sad...but at the same time I'll be ready to come home in December. But not yet! Life in the Philippines is so much fun! Even though it is SO HOT! Haha It's been the hottest past few days I think...I feel this layer of sweat on my body while I'm sleeping and just throughout the day. It's gross but hopefully I'll lose weight from it. Haha :)

So walang transfers! Me and Sister Temaaka are still together. At first honestly, I was kinda dissapointed and a little upset. I was really wanting a change. And you just kinda get tired of being with the same person 24/7...so ya. But all is well now. I think Heavenly Father is trying to teach me to be more patient and more loving. Haha He knows I need to become more and Sister Temaaka is going to teach me that. So yep...it will be good. I still love her and everything. But everyone else in my zone got a transfer in their companionships...Three Elders are here from Mindoro! That I served with over there! Especially Elder McMillan. He was my favorite Australian zone leader over there, so now he's here again as my zone leader. It's great :)

But best news yet...Sandy's baptism is Saturday!! She passed her interview yesterday and she's about to get wet! Haha :) No, we are so excited for her. She's amazing. She's told us how she's always looked for the truth in her life and tried different churches but just felt like something was missing. But then the first time we taught her, she said she felt something different and she tired church that Sunday and knew this is what she had been missing. She hasn't missed church since and she's getting baptized. She's so happy too, she just has this light about her. He heart truly was prepared. The sad part though is that she knows a lot of members, and they know her. But nobody referred her to us! We found her on our own through tracking. I makes me think how many do we pass each day who are ready and are just waiting for us to invite them, to come and find what they are missing in their lives. I kinda wanted to shake the members but then I was guilt of that before my mission. I realized that there are those around us searching, maybe they don't know they are, but they are. And they are praying to find that light. I hope and pray that we can be a little bit more aware of those whose hearts are being prepared and those that Heavenly Father sends into our lives.

I love you all so much, know that you can all make a difference, whither you are in Round Valley, Tucson, Chile or the Philippines :) I know that hearts are being prepared and that Heavenly Father sends people into your life for a reason. Go make a difference and give people a piece of heaven.

Mahal ko kayo lagi!

Love, Sister Burnham
