WELL I JUST HAD THE CRAZIEST WEEK OF MY LIFE hahahhah and this email is about to be a rollercoaster so prepare yourselves. But you all probably think I'm dead...but its aight! I'm still here :)
My companion on the other hand.... isn't here :/ Sister Yamashita went home for medical purposes and it was soooo sad. I have a major respect for missionaries who finish their missions earlier than expected. Honestly it takes so much courage to do that. It is not easy at all! When she called president, we were both crying for like 30 minutes.
She left on Friday and I was put in a trio for a week! and president called and said, "Ok Sister Phelps you are going back to Tsukuba and you're going to be training."
.....wut.
ahaha so now I'm a trainer ahhaha and my bean is Sister VanPelt and she is from Stgeezzyyy!!! :)) She is so cute and we get along really well! She is so great!! Her faith is so contagious!!!!
Today was our last temple pday before the temple closed and it was sooooo good but just so sad because I just looooove temple pdays. I love the temple of the Lord because every time I go, I am reminded of who I am as a daughter of God. I am reminded that I truly belong with God. LOVE THAT.
Also, the food in Tokyo is to die for. There are lots of pictures we took today, so I will just let those pics explain themselves :)
I have finally found what SETS MY SOUL ON FIRE.
let me explain.
GOD :))
We had a million lessons this last week and we taught the plan of salvation a lot. right?? And every single time we taught it, my soul was just full of pure joy. Because it was the first time in my life where I TRULY and 100% believed with my whole soul that God had a perfect and beautiful plan...for ME personally and for each one of us. Growing up I always "knew" it....but this time I BELIEVED IT. And my heart began to burn and I felt that my eyes were opened to see the eternal picture.
GAH I JUST LOVE GOD.
Okay, I have to go. This email is everywhere. But I love you all. thank you for the prayers and the encouraging emails. I really needed it.
Also pray for my bean (trainee). She has no idea what she has gotten herself into lol
愛しています
Sister Phelps
