Hello!

Well, it's been a very stressful week! On Tuesday we moved to West Campus and it has been a hard adjustment. We are living in the Raintree apartments,  I live with all the sisters in my district and 4 sisters from another district in our Zone. So it's 12 girls with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Yep. We are trying to adjust. The classrooms are tiny too.. they turned apartment rooms into classrooms with white boards and desks. It's just really weird because you walk in and there's a kitchen outside of your classroom. The walls are boring and white and it's just really hard to focus. The good news about West Campus is that the food is so much better. They don't fry anything, they bake it all so it's healthier which is good. Also we can go to Brighams Landing which is close to our apartments and they have food places and a few stores I think. I haven't been there yet but we are going today! 

The best news is that our district didn't get split! We are only split for classes, and I live with all the sisters in my disctrict so I get to see them! I was so happy about that. 

This email is really boring because it was sort of a boring week, but I will share some spiritual experiences I had. 

With the move, everyone was having a really hard time adjusting. Espacially the Sisters. On Wednesday we had a district meeting to see how everyone was doing and we all just started crying.I was just rough because it's our 3rd week ( HALFWAY DONE!) we are feeling homesick, and we are stressed about the language. We had like a mini counsling sesh and it was really good. The Elders in my district offered to give us blessings if we wanted. I got one along with 2 other sisters. It was 2 of the elders first time giving a blessing. They were so nervous but the spirit was so strong in that room. So strong. It was so powerful. I just love the priesthood so much, it is such a great blessing to have. 

Last night we had class from 6 to 9 and it was so long. We got a new teacher, Brother Cohen. He is really great, he got back from the Angeles mission 6 months ago and he goes to BYU. He is a really great teacher, and investigator. He is our new investigator and we taught him last night. Although it's hard to teach in all Tagalog, the spirit is still there and it's so strong. Our investigator's name is Kenneth and he is in a wheelchair. We taught him about prayer and how we have a loving Heavenly Father. The spirit was so strong, we somehow managed to bare our testimonys in Tagalog and my companion got emotional while sharing hers. It was such a great experience. After we were done teaching, we had such a rush! It was the best :) It's the best feeling ever when you taught a great lesson and the investigator is making progress. It was a great experience. 

At the end of the night last night we sang my favorite Hymn- Be Still my Soul as a class. I had goosebumps the whole time. The spirit can really touch me through music, especially Hymns. It was the perfect song to end such a hard week with. I love it so much, I want to share the lyrics. Also if you have a chance look up "Be Still my Soul" by BYU Vocal Point. It's the most beautiful arrangement I have heard of this song. 

1. 
   
   
   
   1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
   With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
   Leave to thy God to order and provide;
   In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
   Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
   Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. 2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
   To guide the future as he has the past.
   Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
   All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
   Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
   His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3. 3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
   When we shall be forever with the Lord,
   When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
   Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
   Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
   All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
