My LAST email!!

This is it.  The last email from Sister Latham.  I definitely have mixed emotions about everything, but I can't express how EXCITED I am to see you all next week!  Because I am visiting my area right now I don't have a lot of time, but I will send you a quick update about my week!

AMAZING NEWS! 4 of our investigators are ready to get baptized this upcoming Saturday! What a great way to end the mission :))  Brother Alberts wife, kids, and son in law will all be baptized! We are still waiting for the approval for him to be baptized, but as for now he wants his family to be baptized so we are excited fort that!  We have really seen miracles with this family, one of them being that Richard and Cherry got married on Tuesday and because of that, they can now be baptized! I did her hair and makeup and they were just the cutest things!  Sister Bairulla and I have really worked hard to help them to get married and prepared for their baptism and look...IT WORKED :)    I attached some pictures from the wedding :)

We also got to be with President and Sister Revillo on their last day as our mission parents.  They took all the exiting missionaries out to lunch and then we all went bowling! So fun!  The best part though was the interview that I had with President.  It was such a spiritual experience as we talked about my mission and talked about all the things that I have learned.  He then gave me advice on my future and he told me that my main purpose after my mission is to establish the church and to start my own family...so...we will talk about that when I get home hahaha  He said to be excited though and study really well and the Lord has great things that He has prepared for me.  So with that being said, I AM EXCITED :)  

We also had exchanges in beautiful Morong this week, it is in the province, so so pretty!  I will attach some pictures as well!

Tonight TayTay is having a ward FHE/farewell for me and I am so excited to see everyone!  I've been able to visit a few people this morning, but most of them I will see later!  Tomorrow we will meet out new Mission President and his family at zone conference!  Then this Friday we have Missionary Leadership Council, then our baptisms on Saturday and between all of this, we have so many people to visit and I still need to pack!  So many things to do with such little time!

Well family, I love you.  I am so excited to see you all.  I give thanks to God every day that He sent me here.  My life has been changed forever.  I know this church is true, I know that Jesus Christ is the leader of this church and He is also my best friend.  I've never felt so close to Him in my life.  As Sister Revillo said, it will be hard to leave such a spiritual and holy place in the mission.  I know that I am about to experience a new adjustment, but the Lord will lead me.  See you all next Wednesday at the airport, I'm so excited to see you all again! 

Love, Sister Latham

2nd to LAST EMAIL!

I'MMM BACKK FROM MINDORROOO!

Hello Fam, well I'm back from Mindoro! I'm excited to be back in my area, but I also really miss the beach and fresh air!  When we flew back today into the Manila airport, I saw the part of the airport that I entered into 17 months ago and then I thought to myself.."I will be back here in 16 days"  It is so crazy! 

Well this past week we had a really fun time in Mindoro, and it was really really fun to work with all the sisters :)  We also had a great zone conference there with playing games, eating lots of food, and just laughing :)  It was also really cool because here in the mainland they use taglish, but in Mindoro it is pure tagalog, there is no english, so I loved it!  And I got to hear President and Sister Revillo speak pure tagalog and I was just smiling because in our mission we speak english in all meetings.  I love this language so much, I will need to find some filipino friends when I get home!  I'm sure I will be able to use it quite a bit.

Elder Pagaduan( a member of the 70) was the visitor at the mindoro conference and he is really nice!  We also flew home with him this morning and got to talk to him a bit.  I really loved the messages that he shared at the conference.  He said something I really loved.  He said that none of us will become perfect in this life.  Nobody can say "I am perfect"  but we can say "I am perfect in trying to become perfect."  I know that that is what Heavenly Father really wants to see us doing while we are here on earth.  Everyday we should be doing everything we can to try to become perfect like Jesus Christ was. 

Well, I only have one more weekly email to you all...I can't believe I am saying that.  I also know that it is going to go by so fast.  President and Sister Revillo finish their mission this week, I'm grateful that tomorrow we will spend the whole day with them.  All of the missionaries who go home on July 13th have an interview with them and we will be having activities and eating lots of food haha I look forward to my interview with President tomorrow! 

Next Monday I will also be emailing you from TayTay! I get to go visit all my areas next monday :)  So many things to do and not enough time!  Our investigators are also getting married tomorrowand they are planned to be baptized the saturday before I come home. What a blessing Heavenly Father is giving me to see them be baptized :) 

I love you all so so much! Have a wonderful week!!!

Love, Sister Latham

Elder Tano :)

I'm in the great island of MINDORO!

Greetings from the beautiful island of Mindoro! First of all, Happy Fathers Day Dad, I wish that I could be there, but it looks like we will have to re-celebrate fathers day in 3 weeks when I get back :) Thanks for being such a wonderful father to me, I hope that I can find someone who will be a wonderful father like you...but I will think about that when I get home haha

So, we got picked up this morning around 3:30am and our flight was this morning around 6.  The flight was only 30 minutes, so quick, but it was fun to go to an airport and be in an airplane again!  I also couldn't help but think that I would again be going to the airport in about 3 weeks with all of my luggage heading towards CALIFORNIA!  Time is flying so so fast, and we only have a little bit of time left to work in our area because we are so busy, so that will make the time go even faster!

Later on this afternoon, Sister Bairulla and I will go to the beach and just relax and read the scriptures, I am excited for that! It is really nice to see the beach after 17 months!  The air is so fresh here, and there are not a lot of people so it is very different than Quezon City.  

Last week we were really busy, one day we spent a lot of time at the City Hall, because our investigators, Richard and Cherry, need to get married before they get baptized, and we went straight to the Mayor and he is processing all of their papers for free and is going to perform their wedding for free as well!  Had we not gone to city hall, I don't know how long it would have taken them to get married and then get baptized, so Heavenly Father really gave us a miracle and they will get married next week :)    Cherry's father, Albert and his wife and daughter are also ready to get baptized, but we have to wait to get approval from the prophet for him to be baptized.  We don't know how long it will take or if he will get baptized on his set date for July 9th, but the most important thing is that he will get baptized.  He said something the other day that really showed how converted he is to the Lord and His church.  He said, "Even if I have to wait 30 years to get baptized, I will come to church every Sunday, but hopefully my baptism can be soon because I really want to be baptized. I want to become a member of this true church."  Him and his family are so amazing!

Another fun thing happened, when we arrived at church on Sunday, I saw some people getting out of their car and I noticed that it was Bishop and Sister Dasalla with Angel, Kiray and Nicole (recent convert)!  They came from TayTay to visit me! I miss them so so much! I will be going back to TayTay on July 4th and will be having a Family Home Evening with them, so exciting!

Well, I look forward to this week that I have here in Mindoro and I will send you pictures next week :)  It's crazy to think that when I email you next week I will only have about 2 more weeks here...I can't believe it, but I'm so excited to see you all!! Love you all so so much!

Love, Sister Latham

A week that WILL NOT be forgotten!

Dear loved ones,

Well...4 more weeks!  so crazy! But before we start talking about that, I have a few things to share with you this week, I don't know really where to start!  I think I will start with some of the crazy/odd things that happened first.  Well, when we talked on mothers day on skype, I remember being asked if I had ever had lice here because it is really common and I proudly said "Nope :)"  Well...I can no longer say that I never got lice on my mission because I GOT IT THIS WEEK!  Its been getting colder..not cold..but colder and we have been having rain.  So sometimes my head would itch and I just thought my scalp was dry due to the weather being colder and rainy.  It felt itchy for a few days and I never thought once that it could be lice.  but just to make sure when I was getting ready for bed the other night, I thought "I'll just grab the comb mom sent me JUST to make sure.  But I'm sure I don't have it."  Well, I sure was wrong because in just one brush with the comb, I saw about 20 EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yes, I screamed. My companion came running in and I was just crying at my desk...I could not believe!  Thank goodness my companion is so so so sweet and she spent about 1 hour combing through my hair..there were about 20 ACTUAL BUGS in my HAIR!!!!!!!  I can't write out in description how I felt.  But I'm sure that you can imagine.  I first though want to thank you mom SO SO SO much for sending that comb and the shampoo, it is the best!!  I also want to thank my sweet companion, she is the best.  And she taught me how to kill the bugs and lice.  I'm happy to now say that it is all gone, but I'm still a little paranoid and I comb my hair every single night :)

Well, so that happened, and then the next day, I felt bumps on the back side of my neck and it wasn't a bug bite, but it felt like something was swollen or a cyst.  I ended up texting Sister Revillo and had to go the hospital that day to get a checkup.  The think that it is swollen lymph nodes, and I am happy to say that I think it is going away now.  The doctor said it is either cysts or a viral infection, hopefully just a viral infection. Nothing to worry about.

Yesterday we had our last zone conference with President and Sister Revillo and it was a day of fun!!  It first started out with the spiritual side, a few work shops, and then all the exciting missionaries gave there testimony in front of everyone.  I remember my first zone conference and the missionaries that gave their testimony.  I thought to myself, Wow those missionaries are going home, I still have forever!  It was weird standing in their place yesterday.  I just bore my testimony about conversion and the conversion that has taken place in my life during these last 18 months.  It was hard to describe because it is not something that I can really describe.  Everything has changed.  My testimony has changed and grown into something I can't describe.  My heart has been changed, my will has been changed because it is now in line with the Lord's Will.  Truly my whole life has been changed.  And it is my goal to just not look back and keep pushing forward every single day.  After the testimonies, we then went to all the fun and games and got out new shirts! 

Then, this morning, we had our temple day!!  And it was an amazing experience :)  I took the opportunity to pray in the celestial room and I shared with Heavenly Father about all the things that I have done in my mission, the hard times, fun times, everything.  And then at the end I asked Him a question.  I asked "Heavenly Father, Do you accept my work?  Have I done what you have expected of me?"  I waited for an answer, but I felt like I wasn't receiving an exact answer.  I thought, "Oh no..what did I do wrong"  I then asked myself those same questions, I thought about if I did the Lord's Will, if I fulfilled my purpose.  As I began thinking of those things, I felt an overwhelming feeling in my heart and in my mind, and it is as if someone whispered in my mind and in my heard. "Sister Latham, I am so proud of you.  Your work is accepted."  It brought tears to my eyes at that moment to know that the Lord is so grateful for the things that I have done here.  Its not easy, this is by far the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life, but I have pushed through and I've done it with the Lord by my side. I know that I can do hard things, not because I am strong, but because I am weak but because I had the Lord by my side as my teammate, we were strong :)

There is my update for the week fam, hope that you enjoy it!  Next Monday Sister Bairulla and I will be flying to Mindoro for a week and then when I get back I only have 2 more weeks in the field.  I am so excited to see you all :)  I will really miss this wonderful place though.  I love you all so much!

-Sister Latham

I'm going to MINDORO!!

I have the best news!!! I AM GOING TO MINDORO!!!  and I'm not being emergency transferred :)  Me and my companion, Sister Bairulla, are the STL's that get to go to the island of Mindoro for one week and do exchanges with the sisters!! 

At MLC this week, we drove in President's car and he asked if we had been told where we are assigned to do exchanges, and I smiled and said "THANK YOU PRESIDENT, you are finally sending me to Mindoro! :)"  My whole mission I have wanted to go there and I always thought that if I never requested to go there, I would get sent there, and it happened! Although it is not a full transfer, at least it is one week! I WILL SEE THE BEACH!! woohoo!

MLC was really fun this past friday!  It was President and Sister Revillo's last MLC and so they, including all the missionaries who are going home this transfer, gave their going home testimony! and my name was written there!!  I was not expecting to already be giving my going home testimonies!  I really didn't want to give it haha, but I had to and I didn't cry...I'm saving that for the next time haha  I think I have to bear my going home testimony about 4 more times...I think people will get tired of hearing me haha.  Also at MLC we had an activity and we all went and played volleyball and basketball and had pizza! It was so much fun!  Sister Revillo and all the STL's played basketball and I was in charge of guarding her haha it was so funny!  I've really enjoyed being a part of the Missionary Leadership Council, it is a lot of fun and I have learned so so much!

The day after MLC, the Mendoza family had their interview with the District Leader :) It went really really well, Brother Albert just has to have another interview with President tomorrow so we will take him to that tomorrow and we will see where it goes from there.  Their daughter is also getting her and her partners marriage stuff all ready and they plan to get married the week before July 9thso hopefully we will be able to attend their wedding and then the next week will be their BAPTISM :)

Next week we also have our zone conference and our temple day, so next week I won't be able to email until Wednesday afternoon!  Sorry...I know that is a long time to wait!  But I will have a lot of pictures for you next week! 

Thank you so much for all of your love and support, I know that the time is coming down, but I will run through the finish line :)  I love you all so much!  Happy anniversary mom and dad as well, you are the best parents ever and I am blessed because you are my parents!

Love, Sister Latham

BTW: it is now rainy season here in the Philippines, but thank goodness we are here in the mountains in Antipolo with no floods :)

I'M STAYING!!! WOOOHOOO!

I got the best news this morning!!!  I'M STAYING HERE IN ANTIPOLO!!!  I've never been this excited and nervous to get the transfer calls this morning! I woke up at 4:30 this and I couldn't get back to sleep! haha  I just laid in bed and read the Liahona in Tagalog till the phone rang at 6:30!  

The first thing my ZL says is, "well, Sister Latham...your companion is staying."  and I said "WHAT ABOUT ME ELDER!"  and then he said "And you are staying too!!"  I'm sure our ZL then had to pull the phone away from his ear because me and my companion just started screaming hahaha  Sister Bairulla and I had been praying so so hard, and even in my last two weekly letters to President I don't know how many times I told him that I wanted to stay in this area and see these people we are teaching be baptized!  And the best thing, even the Mendoza family that will be baptized on July 9th prayed last night in our family home evening, that nobody would transfer and when we texted them this morning they were all so happy!  

I am so so excited for this upcoming transfer! It is going to be so busy, exciting, really really busy..and really really exciting!  :)  We have 2 zone conferences, 2 Missionary Leadership training, temple day, with exchanges on top of that!  This also means that the transfer is going to go by really really fast!  I already can't believe how fast this past transfer went!

I also heard news this morning, that one of the sisters I trained, Sister Tropia, is now an STL and the other sister I trained, Sister Tio, is now training!  In the mission if you train, you call your trainee "anak" or child and they call you "Nanay" or mom, and then if they train, their "anak" calls you "lola" or grandma, so I now have 2 "apo" or grandchildren :)  I don't know if you get it, but it is very exciting because i now have 2 apo and they will call me "lola" :)  It is so wonderful to see my 2 "anak"  grow so much in the mission and to accept these wonderful callings that Heavenly Father has given them.  They are such wonderful missionaries and I am so so proud of them and their progression that they have made in the mission :)

I just want to share about the Mendoza family this week!  They are the family that plans to be baptized on July 9th and if possible maybe even earlier.  Brother Alberts daughter and her partner just need to get married and they are processing the papers right now :)  So we had Family Home Evening with them last night and it was so much fun!  They all shared how much the gospel how blessed them and really united them as a family.  Brother Albert says that in the past he would listen to all religions, but it didn't really affect him that much, but as soon as he listened to the gospel of Jesus Christ, he said that it pricked him in the heart, he felt something different, and he was willing to change.  He expressed his gratitude for us missionaries and he said "I pray to Heavenly Father that you will  continue to guide us through this journey, to our baptism, and even till the time we can enter into the temple as a family and be sealed."  It was so powerful because this family is seeing the whole picture.  They are not just focusing to getting to the waters of baptism, but they are focusing on entering into the temple one day.  I am so so excited to be able to continue to teach them for another 6 weeks and I pray that everything will work out in order for me to see them be baptized :)  

I have attached a few pictures.  2 are of the Mendoza family and one of them is of our district :) 

I love you all so much!!  Please continue to pray for this family :)  I only have 6 weeks left as a full time missionary, but there is still so much to do!  Love love love you all!

My heart is so full!

I've been waiting days to email you! It has been such a wonderful week :)  I will first start off with the best news..the Jorge family was BAPTIZED :) 

It was such a wonderful baptism, I've never seen them so happier, all dressed in white as a family, and so excited to enter the waters of baptism! 

The support of the ward was also amazing, so many people attended, the whole baptismal font room was filled, we had their visiting and home teacher there who gave the talks, and the ward was just so excited about a whole family being baptized!  Hearing their testimony after their baptism was also just the best, especially the parents.  The gospel has changed their lives, individually, as parents, and as a whole family.  They have found their way onto the right path, they have been cleansed from their sin and they are just so happy!  It was the best!!

We also were able to have a Family Home Evening with our other family that plans to be baptized this June or July 9th and it was so much fun!  They absolutely loved it!  I attached a few pictures of the family as well.  They are so excited about the gospel and they have also seen how the gospel has brought them closer as a family.  The kids don't remember the last time they went to church as a family and now they all come together to  church, they are reading and praying every night as a family, and are happier than they have ever been :)

Last Monday after I emailed you, we had our zone activity and we went to the falls near our area.  It is so so pretty, and it was nice to just have fun, eat lunch, and get to know the missionaries better!  Hopefully we can go there when we all come back :)  

Another fun and crazy thing happened this week! I was able to go on exchanges with one of my past companions Sister Tropia, I was her first companion and trainer and we just had the best time being back together! It is now rainy season and that day we went out and worked in the afternoon and as soon as we started working it starting pouring!!! I was drenched from head to toe (I was using an umbrella)!  I don't know how it happened, but the wind was strong and the rain was heavy and it was crazy!  Their whole area was flooded, some areas were only to the knee, but other areas were flooded to the neck!  So crazy!! As we waited for the storm to pass, we just went into Mcdonalds and had some ice cream and french fries.  It was quite embarassing because we were the only ones soaking wet (i don't know why haha), and there was water dripping from us.  The workers were like mopping around us hahaha 

I always love working with the sisters and it was so much fun being able to work with one of my past companions and see the growth that she has made :)  The mission is so powerful and really has helped strengthen me, and I know that is because I have allowed the Lord to lead me and guide me.  I have followed His will, and not my will and I know because of that, I am so so happy even when the work is hard!  

Here is my trunky news...I got my flight itinerary!  The time is going to fly by, but I still have so much to do, there is no time to waste! 

Next week is transfers and I am praying that Heavenly Father will allow me to stay here one more transfer, I love these people and I want to see these families and those that I am teaching be baptized :)  I will email you next week on Tuesday to let you know the news!  Thank you for all your prayers, support, and words of encouragement! I love you all!

Love, Sister Latham

They are getting baptized!!

First off, I want to thank you all for your wonderful encouragement that you gave me last Monday because it has pushed me even more this past week!  I've kept myself really really busy so the time has just flown by.  We have seen many miracles this past week and I am excited to share them :)

This past Saturday, the Jorge family had their baptism interview and they all passed and are so excited to be baptized this upcoming Saturday :)  They are 5, the mom and dad and their 3 daughters will all be baptized!  I am so so excited!  Bringing families into the gospel brings the most joy to be!

Albert, Lani and their family is also progressing so much!  Brother Albert's faith has helped him to completely overcome the word of wisdom and they are now reading and praying as a family every single night.  Tonight we will also have FHE with them and Albert's brother and his family who are very strong members of the church.

Also, I was surprised yesterday at church!!!  about 10 minutes before church started, one of the others sisters came to me and said "Sister Latham, you have visitors"  when I looked to the door, I saw 2 of the ward missionaries from TayTay, Lester and Lady!  I went up to them and I could not stop smiling!  Lady gave me a big hug and said "Sister Latham, Bishop and Sister Dasalla are out in their car, they came to see you!"  Oh my goodness, I grabbed my camera so fast and when I saw their car, Sister Dasalla got out of the car and we like ran to each other!!  I could not believe that they came from TayTay to visit me!  I miss them so much!  They dropped off Lester and Lady who attended church here in Antipolo, but they said that one Sunday they plan to come to church as a family in Antipolo!  I LOVE THEM!  To be honest, when they left I was a little home sick haha I am so excited to go back to TayTay in a few weeks and visit them all!

To be completely honest, everyone here is so excited to meet you all next year, as in so excited!!  I just love all these people so so much.  I choose to not think much about leaving here or else I would probably break down in tears.  The Philippines has become my 2nd home :) 

I love you all so much, until next week :)

Love, Sister Latham

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY :)

To all of those women that have played a part in my life, in my growing up, and in all aspects of my life I say THANK YOU!  I wish I had time to list of you, but please know that I love you and I am so grateful for you!  And of course the biggest "thank you" i owe is to my mom, I LOVE YOU!    It was so great being able to see all your faces this morning, talk to you, and just enjoy the good ole times :)  I have been blessed with the best family and especially the best parents.  There is nothing I could really do to repay you for everything, but I remember what President Revillo said this past week at interviews, that the best way you can show your love to them is by being here, serving the Lord, and representing your family the best way you can :)  Thank you for your endless support and love for me while I have been here.  I LOVE YOU!

This week was a wonderful, we had our zone interviews and workshops.  I had my last interview with President Revillo before my exit interview.  President just thanked me for my service and expressed how grateful and proud he is of me.  He has really seen the change, he remembered my interview with him in my 3rd transfer where I was really struggling, and then he sees me about to go home and he can't believe it! I can't believe it either.  He told me that was time was almost up, but to keep working hard and then when I get home the Lord will bless me and then I will start a new phase of life :)  I am excited but there is still so much I have to do here in these last 2 months of my mission! 

In these next two months we have planned for 3 families to be baptized :)  They are all coming to church and really progressing!  I pray and pray that I do not get transferred in a few weeks because I want to take this journey with them.  Whatever the Lord has planned for me though, I will go and do.  I have learned that His plan is 1000x better than my own plan or what I want :)  

We also had Missionary Leadership Council this week and I can really tell that they are preparing for President and Sister Revillo to leave and for the new mission president to come in.  We had a really good and deep discussion about the culture of the mission.  There is more that we need to do to help the culture of the mission and help these missionaries fulfill their duty to the best that they can :)  Its been a great experience being a part of the Missionary Leadership Council.  

I also received  some sad  news this week that my sweet sweet recent convert in my first area passed away because of sickness.  He had planned to go to the temple next month, but the Lord needed him sooner I guess.   He name is Tatay Cornelio Clemente.  I will attach some pictures.  I will always remember Tatay Cornelio, he would always call us his children, he was the happiest man, and he LOVED the gospel.  He always participated in the classes and loved learning and learning.  I remember going on a temple trip with him and he was so so excited!  Although he himself was not able to temple and continue on his journey here on earth, I am grateful and I know that he is grateful that in his last year he joined the church and became a member of this true church.  I know that when we see each other again it will be a happy reunion and he will be grateful that he chose to become a member :)  I love him.

SO, I love you all so much, don't forget to live each day to the fullest, having no regrets and doing your best each and everyday.  There is more work to do, so I just want to end with I LOVE YOU ALL, and now I go back to work :)  

Love, Sister Latham

Rest in peace Tatay Cornelio :)

Here is also a picture from MLC :)
