I am the termite-ator!

So this morning I woke up to find that termites had eaten into our ceiling and were falling directly on me and my bed, and then proceeding to eat me too! Well, I had to wash my sheets anyway. Of course, as a missionary, I started thinking about the spiritual implications. The termites are somewhat like our little sins that we think we can ignore because of their seemingly insignificant impact. However, when left alone, those sins add up and eat away at our spiritual sensitivity and leave us with nothing but a bunch of bites (that itch really bad too). 
Through repentance though, we can become clean once again and enjoy the blessings that God wants to give us. Just this last week, Sister Tantiangco and I have experienced many miracles in our work. Our main investigator family is coming to church and is making plans with others to enable them to continue to come. The 14 yr old daughter works as a maid on the weekends and through her faith, asked permission to have Sunday mornings off so that she can attend church. 

The mother, whose work is the only source of income for their family, is also making the sacrifice to take time off too. Even though they walk for about 20 minutes each Sunday morning, it's amazing to see their faith growing stronger and stronger. We recently taught them about the Law of Chastity and the Word of Wisdom. They have a lots of things they need to correct, but since we taught them, they've already made substantial changes. I'm so happy here on my mission and despite all the little critters that seem to always target me, I know that God is shaping me into becoming a better servant of the Lord.
