This week was pretty good, I had a cold for most of the week an it sucked but we
had an investigator at church! Her name is melody vicente and she is married to
a less active guy. They finally came to church after two months of Elder Coleman
and myself teaching them! It was super cool! Teaching investigators really is
the best part of the mission. We are working hard to find more people to
teaching and are really gonna hit this one area this week to see if we can get
some more investigators. Transfer week is getting close and we have 24 new
missionaries coming in, . I enjoy working with Elder
Coleman and have really learned a lot from him. The area here in aritao is
progressing, slowly, but surely. We are working hard and just trying to talk to
people which I actually kind of enjoy now that I can speak the language haha.
Less actives are tough cause can take months to build their faith but that is
the focus cause attendance is only 32% here. So plenty of work to do. I enjoy
working, yes it is hot and sometimes it is really frustrating but getting in
good lessons really does make it worthwhile and I feel accomplished. I hope this
attitude can apply to after the mission as well, in school, in work, in church
callings, in family stuff. it really just does feel good to think at the end of
the day that I accomplished something.
Something cool that happened this
week. So president was going to Baguio to do a training thing with the senior
couples. And our apartment is right on the highway about halfway. So president
shows up at our apartment at 10 am but elder coleman and I were already walking
to an appointment so they called us back. turns out they brought us krispy
kremes! all the way from manila!! Apparently the area presidency brought them a
whole lot of them and they in turn gave some to us! they were super delicious!
and even better when president was coming back to the mission on saturday he
brought us kentucky fried chicken!! Also very delicious and super cool. My
mission president is the coolest and the nicest and really has cool things to
show you that he loves his missionaries. It will be a sad day when he leaves.
But I am excited for the changes to take place. Well thats about all I have for
this week.
Mahal ko kayo!
