Our area is so big! and so when I focus on the ones far away the ones close don't get visited Grrr I am so unorganized!
We visited sister Ang, she is a less active and she usually knows everything we teach her really well. But this time we taught her tithing and she asked us like what is the difference between fast offerings and tithing. She didn't know. So we got all her questions clear it was good.
Gave Hazel and Mellowyn baptism dates. but that might have to be extended. We need for them to have friends first so that they have an extra motivation to get to church. They are so willing to have a family home evening so we are going to organize that (sometime) and invite members or have it at a member’s house.
Wed: had my clothes held hostage at the Laundry shop. hahah this laundry shop had weird hours so it would be closed then we would call them if they were open and they said yes and then we got there and it would be closed again. hahah We taught the Bunsay family asked her if she could do my laundry and they asked us to come to their Family home Evening today. I am excited.
Also taught a 13 year old and a 9 year old the Law of Chastity. It was ok actually only in Tagalog I told them that if they keep the law of Chastity their wives would be beautiful. hahah its true though haha.
Thurs: Lunch at the Reyes family I love them; they take so much care for the missionaries. Their daughter gave us a referral, Jhona and we taught her on Sunday she really wants to go to church but works that day.
Friday: Zone conference had to wake up at 2 in the morning to get to the mission home by 7 then we got home at 11 it was a long day but it was really good. One of the area 70 was there teaching us and his cool wife. She is so real like she says thinks how they are. It was Elder and Sister Nelson they talked about the revelatory process, about the Doctrines of Christ, about strengthening companionships, and obedience. It was amazing. They also had us kneel down as he prayed over the people that where being affected by the Typhoon. I love leaders that care so much for their people.
Saturday: found out that sister K and sister Perlas and sister Watson and sister Tolo (they all live in the same house) got robbed. Scary but they just laughed what’s money when you are on a mission. It rained really hard.
Sunday; Taught the full family of Mendaros, Tatay Rumaldo( I blessed him (In the Philippine culture if a young person puts their forehead on the hand of an older person it is blessing them with their youth to the older person.)) He is such a happy righteous man, and can't read or move his left hand and foot but he still loves to bless the lives of others and for that I blessed him. Then Jhona that lesson went well. Then Dinner at Nanny Paguio house with all the missionaries in Solano. It was fun and a blessing because the Robber took the food of sisters, and we didn't have any gas in our stove. hahah so it worked out.
Does your companion know English very good how do you two communicate with so many different languages???? Oh she knows English like super good she is amazing there are a few things that get lost in translation though but that is about it we communicate really well. But learning Tagalog though English books; where you have to translate the English explaining the Tagalog into Kitabati
I am using Tagolag more because I have to but I got a little cocky about how well the language was going and I lost it for a little bit. We both don't really know the language so I had to use it so I learned a lot. I am a little more far ahead of sister Newere but that is just because she is learning two languages and it is amazing!!!! I can hardly learn one. I have to rely on the spirit.
We taught a guy and his dad was just a random street contact. But as soon as he read the pamphlet he stopped drinking. It was amazing and then we taught his family because he wanted us to. And we can't teach him because he is always out working. But this week we did and he read and they have been talking as a family about the gospel. It is amazing!
The other day I was called an Angel. This guy has stopped drinking and now reads the scriptures regularly and he always goes to church and sits in the back and cries because he just feels uplifted. He has stopped drinking and smoking.
There have been A lot of natural disasters. Like last month there was a earthquake and the Cebu Temple angle Moroni turned, and there was a tornado down there just before the Typhoon hit. some people here believe the second coming is happening to the Philippines.
Good night and sweet dreams. don't worry.
