Kamusta Friends and Family!
Although I don't have much to write about because nothing really happened....
I do want talk a little bit about how God has a plan for each one of us.
It's crazy how much I've have switched my thinking process from it's "just a coincidence" to "God has a plan".
I cannot emphasize enough that EVERYTHING that happens, happens for a reason.
You may not know the reason why.
God would do something, but that's okay because you don't need to.
God would do something, but that's okay because you don't need to.
You just need to know that God is preparing you to be something great.
God is our greatest friend, we will never be alone if we allow him to stand by our side.

| This is Elder Pauley!!!!! |
He is my absolute favorite missionary I have ever met!!
He is also one of my greatest friends here!
He is completely deaf, but one night he and his companion were going around and sharing their testimonies to other missionaries and I ended up being one!
After he shared his testimony we sparked up a very small conversation (with as much ASL as I knew)
Then he continued to teach me with my finger spelling the word, then him showing me the official sign.
Every devotional my companions and I get to sit right next to them, so we sign with them during songs
I am getting a lot better at communicating in ASL because of him and the other ASL missionaries! He leaves September 14th to Missouri!
