Megan's 3-7-10 e-mail

I was reading in Alma 36 about his repentance, and I thought of the judgement-and how real it is! I just started to cry thinking about how kind Jesus Christ is and how He will plead our case if we have repented of our mistakes. Our choir sang Beautiful Zion last Sunday and I love the lyrics, "He who was slain on Calvary, opens those pearly gates for me."

Megan's Plea: Go to the Temple!

It's weird, but I have been missing being in the temple like I haven't eaten for months. I can honestly say I YEARN to be there...!! I want to be there soooo bad. I don't know why I have been missing it so bad. I start to cry every time I think about being in the temple.I want others to yearn to be there too-I want to help them get there. Please go the temple for me-and when you do, soak it all in!!!!!!!!!!! Look at the lights, and the carpet, and soak in how absolutely completely infinitely spotless it is!!!!!!!! Cleanliness is TRULYYYY next to godliness. Look at the big picture of Jesus Christ. When you're sitting on those big comfy perfectly clean sofa chairs, look down at your white dress and think of the sacrifice that our elder brother made so that we can wear that beautiful white-so that we can be clean. Please go to the temple for me. When I get home I want to spend a whole 3 days there.

By Simple Things...

I want to ask for all of your help. Please pray for me. That I will have more courage to speak to people. That I will learn at least 15 words in Cebuano every day. That I will love my companion more.Satan knows that these things are tools for me to be successful. I do not want to give in anymore. They are simple things-but by simple things come great things!!! It's a simple thing to open your Book of Mormon and read ONE verse every day- at least!! It's a simple thing to kneel down and pray for 1 minute!!! We are all soo busy-but if we do not do the simple things-we will have big problems.

Love from Megan

I'm kulang time(lacking) karon (right now). Pero(but) I just wanted to say that I love you all so much. More than all the pot pot drivers in the Philippines. Now that's love! I had to put in my 2 cents-since Josh loves you more than all dogs in Argentina-I'm adding my love to the pile gihapon(also).

Argentine Ingenuity!

In case you can't read his 'note', it says "WE HAVE POWER" Did he mention it has been six weeks since they had electricity in their pension? (apartment).

Now, look at the ingenuity used to restore electricity to the apartment. I wonder who figured that out. Does that coin have to be copper to conduct electricity? Is that even safe? Have you all seen e-mails with the likes of this ingenuity?

Fun Pics from Josh

Elder Heddinger, Dante and his pet armadillo which Josh says squeals when you hold it!

The duck and the armadillo are pets. The Pomo family are my favorites! Their names are Imanual, Daniel, maria-jose, Sophia, and Josefina the mom. They are so much fun! I don´t wear my rugby shirt on p-day, I wear my blue one with the words bwin on the front.
Melanie's comments: These are all quick answers in response to questions I ask Josh from pictures he sent. The Pomo family are the ones in the 'Fanta' commercial.

Josh's Inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson

We had zone conference this week and a quote that was powerful was , "You cannot run from weakness. You must sometime fight it or perish. And if that be so, why not now and where you stand?" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Isn´t that great? Truly we can conquer anything with Christ on our side.
