Soooo this week.
I can't remember everything because I
usually write it down in my planner what I wrote in my journal so I can
remember it all for emails, but I forgot this week. :(
The
work was better. I think my companion was just a little crazy last week
because of our over demanding zone leader. We didn't have any
investigators come to church this week, again. I think it's because it's
been raining hard and the people don't want to drive on their
motorcycles through the rain. So bummer there, but we had two less
active families that we have been visiting come to church! One of the
families that came made me really happy because a couple nights before
we taught them lesson one and I really felt the Spirit. I was also
just really in a good mood that night and I made them laugh a ton but
we also taught one of the best lessons I've taught so far on the
mission. The Spirit was there and it was so simple. It's so important
to love the people you teach and also to let them know that you love
them. Not just by telling them you love them, but showing them and
being their friends.
We have on investigator
who should be getting baptized. He is a 14 year old chubbie boy and he
is hilarious, I love him. He has already been interviewed to be baptized
but he didn't show up to his very own baptismal service. Haha what the
heck. Everyone showed up but him. He told us that he had to work in the
bukid (rice farm) but we have sources that told us he was just chillin
at the house. SO that's frustrating. And he hasn't been to church the
past 2 weeks. So gonna get to the bottom of it. His older brother is
already baptized and he has been an investigator for like 3 years
already.
So on Thursday we went to Appari and
watched the world wide mission conference. The talks were so good, and I
learned so much. I realized many things that I needed to rethink and
reapply to the work here in Lasam.
Oh yah a
couple days ago, I was reading the BOM while swinging on the hammock and
to my dismay, something broke and I fell and landed on my back. All the
Elders laughed really hard and I laughed really hard to just laying on
the floor but it actually hurt and I bruised my back haha. But it's
nothing major, just for the sake of telling a story really. Man I
really like that hammock :(
So we still have to wait like 5 days to move in to the new place. :( Bummer. I hate that stupid apartment.
It's okay though. Were still alive and stuff.
I
spoke yesterday in sacrament meeting. I talked about the BOM. What it
is, Why it's important, How we can know if it's true, and stuff.
The BOM is true.
That's all I can remember this week. I love you all.
Read the BOM. D&C 84:54-57. That's why.
