Dear Angeles Mission Parent:



We've learned that due to a malfunction in the Church Missionary E-mail system, some of you did not receive a message from your missionary this week.  For this we apologize.  The technical people in Salt Lake confirmed the problem and tell us they are working on a fix.

Please know that all our missionaries in Angeles Mission are safe, well and living on a spiritual high. We were blessed to have had all our missionaries at the mission headquarters for a conference with President and Sister Nelson this past Tuesday.  All missionaries were here.  We shook hands and spoke with all of them.  Rest assured your missionary is well, even though their weekly e-mail didn't arrive in your inbox.

We are very blessed and blessing the lives of many here in the Philippines.  Thanks to those parents that notified us of the problem.  You will likely receive this week's e-mail next week.  Thank you also for your love and prayers for your missionary and our mission.



President Scott Clark

HAppy Valentines Day!!! I love you all!! 2-7-16

My dearest friends and family!

I think every week with “holy cow, has it already been another week gone by?” haha which is sooo true these weeks go by so fast! This week was great, its always great! I am half way done with my training so i am no longer the youngest in the mission feild which i don’t feel old enough to be so haha i still feel  like a bata ( kid) its exciting. Last week i had a rough time wih tagalolg, this week was a little better except for this one time we were in a lesson and i was teaching how to reacevie answers to prayers and i accidently said “ you will recive sickness when you pray” instead of “ you will recive answers to your prayers when you pray haha it was really funny because there faces went from already looking confused to looking super confused haha. Well not to many super crazy things happened this week, we were fed a lot by EVERYONE haha they just give us food! This week was pretty cloudy and rainy which was a nice little break from the heat. Last night we went to a members house for dinner, and they had a  vistitor over from Australia, so we taught a whole lesson in English...it was the hardest thing ever haha i thought i wasn’t really progressing until then where it was almost impossible to thing of any way to teach in English haha. It was funny because some of the words and phrases we use in tagalong sound so awkward in English haha , im sure they felt just as awkward as i did hahah but it was a lot of fun. I love it here, i love the people i love the culture and most of all i love seeing who heavenly father is preparing. I am so greatful i am not the teacher but the spirit is, i think that is why love it so much because i know if i can be worthy of the spirit to bring the gospel UNTO the hearts of Gods children then the Spirit while teach/tesify and bring it INTO the hearts of all of Gods children. I love this work and i am so greatful for all the prayers of my family and friends for the missionary efforts and for me, I really feel your prayers and i couldn’t do this with out your love and support. I LOOOOOOOVE you guys sooooo much!!! Especially in the valentines  season of love ;)

I hope you all have an incredible week, eat lots of chocolate for me okay! Oh and some Mexican food! Holy cow i am craving Mexican food so bad right now!

Sister Evans Loves you guys soooo much! Always remember to talk to our heavenly father through prayer! HE loves you and is sooo mindful of all his children

With all my love,

Lillian

This is at the computer place where Lillian writes her mama

Lillian said that it's been so hot...(her biggest trial haha) that she just had to tear the sleeves off of this shirt.

 

She made sweet and sour chicken with the packet she received from home.

We are so grateful for Sister Mepina and know that she is a true blessing for Lillian.
