The Humbling Power of Prayer and Song

This week has been awesome full of just getting pushed to the limits. I have no idea why but this week was just one for the books. I wasn't doing to well and everything I feel was just not on my side so I had to kneel down and ask for some sincere help. I have never felt such a sense of peace and love come over me. It was like getting filled with an energy that I have never felt before! I love the power of prayer and from that moment on I have been blessing with help in all that I do!

This week was not to interesting most was just walking and walking and walking. Don't worry Pai the walking is cutting the love handles! But it has been a very humbling week. Realizing that I am nothing without the help and love of my Heavenly Father. I have been learning that a lot on my mission but this week for some reason I learned so much through prayer.

But it was CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!! That was an awesome time to be able to see my family even as blurry as they were and hear their love for me and for the work that I am doing! Sacrament meeting was awesome and was filled with love and power through song. The family who gave the talks also gave a special musical number! They all speak English so it was nice to be able to understand what was being said, but also made me really listen to what I was singing how powerful that truly was! I loved it and have found that when you sing and actually think about what you are saying the Spirit will testify to you of the love that our Savior has for all of us!

The pictures just include me on the beach trying to get a coconut, our christmas lights, Christmas day, and the Faleulu family. We baptized them in October and just had to snag a quick picture of them while we were there!

Love you all and thank you for the love and support this week! Remember that we will recieve all that we ask of our Father in Heaven so long as we are obedient and ask.
