Look for the Light!

Aloha, errybody!!
Well.... this last week was another one full of suprises... I have
never felt like everything in my life was crashing down before until
these last couple weeks hit. I wish I could explain all the things
that have gone wrong, but at the end of the day, all I want to say is
how GRATEFUL I am for the challenges and trials we are given in life -
I know without a doubt that Heavenly Father gives them to us when we
are ready and when it's time to learn more.
Since my companion went home a little over a week ago for some medical
stuff, I have been in a trio with Sister B (a new missionary) and
Sister D (a VC sister that is out here serving full-field
too). We have been covering both the Tongan branch and the Makaha ward
over here. It has been an interesting ride because both areas are
pretty busy. But we have seen so many miracles!! We have a miracle
baptism tonight in the Tongan branch and quite a few coming up this
month in the Makaha ward! Souls coming to Christ, wooo!! But... our
trio hasn't lasted long. Sunday night we found out that Sister D 
needed to go home for some family stuff and so now it's just
the two of us... Sister B and I. We took Sister D to the
airport yesterday, and it literally broke my heart to say goodbye
because I don't know if I'll ever be able to see her again... Since
she is from the VC, we have served together for a very long time. Now
she is back in the Philippines. Man. She taught me so much. I am just
super grateful for the chance I had to know her. Saying goodbye twice
in the past week has been a rollercoaster.
However... I know that Heavenly Father is aware of all of us. He
scatters sunshine throughout our dark nights so that we know who we
can look to for light. And that Light is always there :) There are
always reasons to smile when we put God first :)
I love this Gospel. I know that God has a plan for all of us. There
are no such things as coincidences. He is in the details of our lives
:)
Stay Sunny!!
