*She arrived in Long Beach at 9:33pm on Sunday night<br />
*She is doing lots of service projects here (she helped my mom make masks for medical workers)<br />
*The only picture from her crazy travels. They were asked to not take any for safety reasons. This was in the SLC Airport.<br />

Her email remains the same: sydney.stewart@missionary.org<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">AHHH this has all been crazy! I have been sent home due to the corona virus outbreak and am now serving my mission from my very own home (or at least trying to--I'm not very tech-savvy). </span></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It all started last Tuesday with a text that said all foreign missionaries will be returning to their home land and should be ready to go at a minutes notice. I was in total shock! The next morning, after a sleepless night, we were taken in a shuttle back to the MTC and then one day later to a fancy hotel... all the while worrying about everyone we're leaving behind that we didn't get to say goodbye to. It wasn't until Saturday that we left the country. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So now, here I am, in my own home surrounded by my family, with a nametag on, awaiting my future. What does the future hold? I could get reassigned to a mission in the States or just get released. I don't know yet. Right now, I'm contacting people from my old areas with FaceBook and whatever else I can figure out. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I miss the Philippines so much and my heart is pained, but I know that God has a plan and that plan is perfect. I will return to the Philippines, but not as a missionary, and that's okay. I am eager to see what Heavenly Father has instore for me. He's always been good at keeping me on my toes!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Words can't describe how grateful I am for the opportunities that I have had in the Philippines. My heart is there with the culture and the people. Yes, I will still be eating rice as much as possible!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thank you for your prayers. I will keep you updated on my reassignment or release.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love you all!</span></div>

Her mission president will be checking on them daily (she does have a flip phone for Filipino calls), they did get 2 weeks worth of groceries, and she has 2 other sisters right across the hall from her and her companion. Please keep them in your prayers. Boredom will be their biggest enemy (no tv or computers). Airports are closed too, so she's a full fledged Filipino now. HaHa</span></span></div>

Lino, Edu, and Bores were baptized and confirmed! It was amazing.

Everyone, I am so uneducated about everything. We only know what is told to us. Like how two months ago we thought it was World War III... and it wasn't. So, I don't know a lot about the coronavirus, but I am praying for everyone affected and I hope you are all safe and healthy back home. They confirmed a case right next to our area in Cainta, so my companion and I are doing our best to stay vigilant. We as missionaries are not allowed to touch anyone, including handshakes (and each other) which has proved to be very difficult! Especially with old people because to show respect you take the back of their hand and press it to your forehead. A couple times I have felt very rude denying people handshakes but hopefully they understand!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">WOW I have big news. One of the biggest miracles of my whole mission happened this week!! Tatay Rufino finished the whole Book of Mormon... IN SIX DAYS!!!!!! And he understood it! He told us very specific stories about what he read. We were blown away! I have never had anyone that I've taught finish the Book of Mormon, let alone in 6 days!! I think we can all give a little more time to the Book of Mormon, what do you think? We just met him last week. It's crazy to see how perfect Heavenly Father's plan is. We weren't able to find who we were looking for, we turned down a random street, he was sitting outside at that random time, my companion saw him out of the corner of her eye and said hi, his eyesight is still good enough to read... all these things worked out! There are no coincidences. Heavenly Father really does know all things!</span></span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">On the bad side, we have a rat terrorizing our home. Rats are like 10x bigger here in the Philippines. I am very scared to see it. We set up a sticky trap to catch it, but my companion and I are the ones who have gotten trapped. Twice. Our apartment is too small to avoid stepping on the trap. I'll keep you updated if we catch it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Brother Rufino: We were trying to find this person that had been taught back in the day but after looking for quite a while, we decided we would just try to teach a new person right when we meet them. We saw this tatay right away just sitting and staring at the wall in front of him. My companion called out to him and asked if he was ok. He immediately smiled and said that he was doing great. As we kept talking to him, he invited us to sit down and told us that he was excited to have visitors. We asked if we could share and he said, "of course!". As we started to introduce our message and our purpose, we both felt prompted to share about temples which I don't think I've ever done on the first lesson. We felt the Spirit strongly and left him with a Book of Mormon and an invitation to read it. He said he was available everyday and to come back anytime. Two days later, we walked up to his house and there he was reading the Book of Mormon, already in 1 Nephi 5. We taught him about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We came back the next day to follow up with him about going to church and he was now in chapter 11! Although he was not able to go to church this week, he was excited to make it the next week. Brother Rufino will be a strong member of the Church, I know it. The Book of Mormon is powerful!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sister Rose: I LOVE Sister Rose! She is a beautiful, sweet girl who works at a small store with a member that we know. We went by their store and the member introduced us to her and helped us set an appointment. When we went back on Valentine's day, which also happened to be her birthday, she was so excited to hear what we had to say! Right away, we felt the Spirit so strongly and Sister Tampis and I both got a really strong impression to talk about baptism. The Spirit whispered to me and told me that we should extend the invitation to be baptized (even though this was the first time teaching her!) but then a distracting old man came in and wouldn't stop talking. He seemed to be very interested in me and my American heritage, so I kept talking to him and with telepathy that Sister Tampis and I have mastered, I told her to keep teaching. So, as I talked to him, I was praying that my companion would receive the same prompting that I had and extend the invitation to be baptized. I was only able to join them for the closing prayer and was able to see her excitedness about the Book of Mormon. She got tears in her eyes and explained how excited she was to be able to have a gift on her birthday, which she doesn't get very often. She held the book tight and told us that she would take good care of it. After leaving I asked my companion how it was. When she told me, "I extended the invitation for baptism and she said yes," my eyes couldn't help but tear up! My prayer had been answered and my companion was in tune with the Spirit. I knew she would be. We were so overwhelmingly happy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Funny story para masaya: We had just been given juice by our friend and were walking up this hill. I downed my juice really fast, but my companion and Sister Angel, the member that was working with us, were slowly sipping. A man coming down the hill walked straight to my companion, took her juice, then took Angel's juice, and said "akin na iyan" which pretty much means "that's mine now." He walked away and we watched him drink both of the juices in two big gulps. We laughed for a good half hour and I said a silent prayer in my heart that that man enjoyed their juice:)</span></div>

Sister Stewart got the call that she was getting transferred to Taytay yesterday. She has been in Siniloan for 7 months...that's a long time in the mission world. It was hard for her to say goodbye to the many friends she has made there, but she looks forward to more adventures. She is leaving the beautiful countryside for a big city and even more heat. I'm sure she will love it there, though. Her address and email stay the same. Drop her a Valentine note if you get a chance.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have the opportunity to share some of the most precious principles that I know are true to people that I loved before I even met them. God loves us, we are literally His children. Jesus Christ suffered and died not only for our sins but for our hardships. He knows everything we feel because He felt it before. Even though He died on the cross, He lives again! And because of that, we will too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know with all of my heart that the things I share everyday are true. I have every inch of my testimony because Heavenly Father gave it to me. He gave me my faith, my strength, my life. EVERYTHING. He gave me His Son. And for that reason, I am here. I'm here in the Philippines, in a mentally, emotionally, and physically demanding atmosphere that is also the happiest thing I have ever been a part of. I'm here because I get to love people the way that my Savior loves me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whatever we go through, the Savior is right there. Our Father is listening. He is proud of us, even for the small things we do. So let's keep going:)</span></div>

The typhoon was the real deal. We weren't allowed to go outside all day until about 4. It had been raining all day, but it didn't seem too bad.

Some houses got destroyed and a million trees are on the ground. Everyone was safe though, thank goodness. We may or may not have gotten stuck in the middle of the storm... We went out to help people get water out of their houses and then the storm made a come back! The whole town was a river so we had a hard time getting back home haha!

I got to go to the temple twice this week! It was amazing. My companion's sister was endowed (entered the temple for the first time) so she got to be her escort. The second time was the next morning, where we went with all the other STLs and zone leaders before our leadership meeting. I had missed the temple so much! I got to see my trainer, Sister Gaspar! She was there dropping someone off at the MTC.</div>

Hopefully her skills will rub off on me a little bit!</span></span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So before Sister Ferrer left, we visited one of our awesome friends, Brother Bryan. His father died and we went to view the body and offer our condolences (which is a very common thing to do, whether you know the person or not).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here in the Philippines, when someone dies, they keep the body in their house for about 3 days to a week. They eat and do everything as normal right there with their loved ones. They say it's a way to feel like they are still there for a little longer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">With Bryan, we went in and were talking and visiting. I'll try and translate this in a way that makes sense...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bryan: "Sisters, I have a sin against you."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Us: "What? We doubt it!"</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bryan: "You know the pants that you gave me to be able to wear to church? I used them on my father."</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So last week, Bryan told us he didn't have any clothes to wear to church so our zone leader, Elder Douglas, gave him pants and a shirt. Now the pants are in the ground on someone that we don't know!! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sister Cabanilla, Sister Doney, and I are now in a trisome and will be for a week. Sister Obusan, Sister Doney's trainee, has some health issues and is now in the missionary recovery center, so please keep her in your prayers!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Love you all!! Oh one more thing, my toe is infected. It started with intense pain and then blew up into some sort of boil. But I felt pathetic because my toe was so painful that I was limping!! It was wild that so much pain can come from a little toe haha. So I now have to wear these ugly sandals for a week while I'm on my meds. I have all these pills now and this medicine I have to put on it... it's a pretty high maintenance toe. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyways, that was my week. TILL NEXT WEEK, AMERICA!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat!! Kamusta po kayo? Masaya ako dito sa Pilipinas!!! Nakikita namin ang maraming himala at biyaya araw araw. </span></span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ok, sure, I'll speak English... How are y'all?? I'm just chillin' here at an internet cafe in the Philippines. This week we had Undas, or All Souls Day, on November 1. This is like their Halloween but completely different. It's pretty much a party at the cemetery. It's awesome! They took a couple weeks before to deep clean the grave sights and get it all ready, and then on the 1st they cook a ton of food (because food is everything here) and they live at the cemetery for the whole day. Some people stay for the whole night too. It was really cool because they all put candles out and flowers so the whole cemetery just lights up! I made my companion walk through the cemetery with me:) I was overwhelmed with joy just seeing all these families together so happy. It seems like half of our area is a cemetery, by the way. Each grave sight is like a house. So it looks just like a neighborhood but nope... it's all cemetery. Some are literally like mansions. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyways, other than that it was a pretty normal week (but also not normal at all, of course, because we are missionaries in the Philippines). We had another service project at Brother Armando's land and it was awesome as usual. </span></div>

It's crazy. So I've been thinking about a lot of things... and one thing I've realized is how awkward I've gotten when it comes to anything other than missionary work here in the Philippines.</span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We all know those awkward returned missionaries right? The ones who have forgotten how to speak English, who everytime are asked about dating or flirting or anything in that context freeze or freak out? They hear regular music or a bad word and it almost brings them to tears? IT'S ALREADY ME!!!!!!</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We have this American that just moved into our branch with his cute Filipino wife and every time I talk to him I don't know what to say. Our cultures are just so different! Wow, I just realized I'm an American so our cultures are technically the same... But I feel more and more Filipino as the days go by!! Like the first time I talked to him, I almost asked him how old he is, exactly where his house is... which is completely normal in Filipino culture right when you meet someone!! Luckily I realized and stopped myself from saying things like that, but still, I probably said something that seemed weird to him.</div>

It's ok though, I'll just embrace the awkwardness!! I'll just need help from you all when I get home.</div>

This week has been stressful but so rewarding! We are excited for Brother Mogas' baptism on Saturday. Earlier today we were able to plant rice in a rice field! So fun!!!!</div>

Enjoy your week and remember... Heavenly Father notices the small good things that you do! Even when you feel like He has no reason to be proud of you, He notices even the smallest efforts you make and appreciates them more than you can imagine.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Life is pretty great here in the Philippines, but the word adventure doesn't mean things are easy. I know that whatever your adventure looks like, it isn't easy. But when you do what you're supposed to and keep on trekking, you'll reach a destination more beautiful and amazing than you can even imagine! I love you all. Keep pushing through and don't forget to notice all the magnificent things around you along the way. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So last night, we were walking back from a lesson on this thin road in between rice fields and it was pretty dark. I saw this weird pile of something in the distance and we were like what is that? When I realized it was a man and a bike, I ran over (thinking he was either dead or dying because he got hit by a tricycle or something) and screamed "CALL 911!" and then rushed and checked his pulse. Then I had two realizations... First, calling 911 is only in America. Second, this man was breathing and had a pulse, he had just gotten completely drunk and passed out on his bike ride home. The member who was working with us knew him, woke him up, and dragged him to the side of the road. As she was lecturing him for his stupid decisions, he smiles and just says "Hi Sisters!" like it was completely a normal thing to be laying in the middle of the road. We encounter drunk people every day here in the Philippines. Another time we had this man just keep shouting to us "I wanna be a Mormon!!" and so we invited him to church! It keeps things entertaining.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One amazing experience I had yesterday was in the middle of Sacrament. I came to church completely sick and I could barely talk like a normal person, so I was just really looking forward to seeing all the people we are teaching come to church to lift my spirits. But, as missionary work tends to slap you in the face, not a single person came to church. We had 9 people almost guaranteed to come. SO at first feeling frustrated, heart broken, sad, and utterly exhausted and sick, we sat next to our recent converts, Rheysa (10 years old) and Leonisa (her mom). It was testimony meeting and the Spirit was really strong. The AirCon was on so low and we all got so cold where we were sitting so I put my arm around Rheysa and Leonisa (with my face in the other direction because I didn't want to get them sick haha) and I had an incredible realization! The Spirit whispered to me that these two girls are what is important. I realized why I'm on my mission... not to find and baptize this amount of people or to hit a certain number of people who attend church, but for these two daughters of God right next to me. I am finding scattered Israel. People who are ready for the Gospel of Jesus Christ come to church. I brought these two amazing people back to the fold and I can look forward to seeing them and celebrating with them in heaven.</span></div>

It is so happy to bring families to the waters of baptism and to know that someday they will have the chance to be sealed together for time and all eternity! Sister Leonisa is so amazing. She truly has changed because of hearing about the Gospel. She used to be angry often and gossip about her neighbors almost every time we went over there. Now, she is positive and recognizes the Spirit helping her to love everyone! She now shares the most powerful experiences in our lessons and is truly closer to Christ and closer to reaching her divine potential. Sister Rheysa, the daughter, is the sweetest, cutest girl who reminds me of my cousin Libby! Oh how I love them so much. </span></span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;">We are working as hard as we can here in Siniloan!! We had an awesome experience this week. As a zone we made a higher goal for daily lessons taught and I honestly was a little sad because I didn't know if we could do it. But I just decided that we would trust in the Lord and keep giving it all we've got... and we did it! We reached the goal almost every day. I know it was because we made that decision to trust. It wasn't because we were working any harder, because we had always been working that hard. It was because Heavenly Father loves us and is blessing us for all we are doing!</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px;">Keep me updated on the goings on;) I love you all! If there is anything I can do for you please let me know.</span></span><div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">Magandang hapon po!! How are you? I am so happy in Siniloan. We are working hard and always striving to be better. There's lots of room for improvement, but I'm sure there'll always be:)</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">We had zone conference and district conference with Elder Schmutz (area president) and President Alder. I love to have that spiritual boost! I also got to spend the night with Sister Vaiaoga (my comp from the MTC) because our travel was so far to zone conference!! I love her.</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">This week was filled with miracles and tender mercies, as always, but one that I would like to share in particular. The Sedeno family is a family that Sister Buenaflor and I baptized last transfer. We went and visited them on a day where we were struggling to find people to teach because they all either weren't there or told us to just come next time. We tried to find new people too but everyone just seemed uninterested. You know, there are just days like that. So when we went to the Sedeno family we were tired and a little frustrated, but we were able to feel the Spirit strongly in the lesson with them. This beautiful family just reminded me that there are families out there ready for the Gospel. And they will STAY just like the Sedeno family who is one of the few regularly active families now in our branch.</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">The Gospel of Jesus Christ is one of hope and of miracles! They are always there, there is always people to share the words of Heavenly Father with. I know that this Church is true with all of my heart. I will do what it takes to bring souls back to Him and bring them the joy they are looking for. If there is anything I can do for you or extra prayers are needed, please let me know. Love y'all!</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #201f1e; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">Sister Stewart</span></span></div>
