Hello!
Well it's been another lovely week in Jogja! The
weather has been a bit crazy, hot and then all of a sudden a down pour of rain.
It's been crazy everywhere in Indonesia! Manado had a situation close to
something like a tsunami a couple weeks ago, Jakarta has flooded, there was an
Earthquake in Jogja (Sister Believe and I were riding our bikes and didn't feel
it) and ya! How exciting right? Things are alright in Manado. Many homes were
destroyed but thankfully Sister Believe's home wasn't. In Jakarta many people
didn't have a place to stay because of flooding and the missionaries helped out
there.

Here's my week!
Mon: We had the awesome
opportunity of traveling to a village, pretty far away, by bike and boy was the
ride wonderful!! This land is really beautiful and I love all the green and all
the rice feilds. My appreciation for God's art work really grew.
Tues: Tuesday was a good day.
WE worked hard and had a good lesson with on of our investigators. The Spirit
was there and I could tell that she felt it but still didn't quite accept
things. She's just comfortable where she's at and where she's at is good! But
there's better. ;)
Wed: We talked a lot about
priorites and watched a film about John Tanner with some of our less active
members. John Tanner is amazing. He's a man who really understood the law of
consecration. I thought about my priorities and how I'm doing with the law of
consecration. I'm really learning how to become a better person here on my
mission and I am real grateful. I still have a long way to go to becoming
"perfected" but at least I know where the path is.
Thurs: We had ZTM! (Zone
meeting without the president). It was a good meeting. There's a really big
push to meet the mission goals. We're doing alright so far. Afterward we were
able to have a small zone trip. We ate at McDonalds (I still don't care for it)
and then went to the zoo! Even though not everything was out and I didn't ride
an elephant it was still lots of fun. Met a few crazy new investigators there
too. ;)
Fri: a normal hard working day.
It was a holiday so a little hard to meet with people but not hard to contact
and meet new people! Oh and a miracle for the other sister happened. One of
their investigators got approval from her mom to be baptized!!! Yay!! We were
all so happy and she got baptized on sunday!
Sat: Can you bleieve it's
already Feb?! Waktu lari (time runs). Saturday was a good hard working day. I
got sunburned and have the sweetest than lines!
Sun: A bunch of miracle
happened! Our investigators from Claten came, a less active member came to
church AND bore his testimony, the sister's investigator was baptized (and
beaming!) and there is an awesome member who was will the friendship for us
that day. All just so great!
Love,
Sister Sperry :)
