Street Contacts and Sunsets

On Tuesday; it was Ramadan so everything was shut down. The government, the schools, even though it is an Islamic Holiday everyone gets it off, which is cool. No one was home though they all went to other places to use their time off and so we just street contacted EVERYONE there was a lot of people just walking around so we talked to them. 

WED: in our far area to have a cheaper ride we can cross the river on a boat it is only ten pesos, or we can walk it is free, by trycie it is 30 pesos. So after all our appointments we decided to cross the river but there was no boat man. So we walked and it was deeper than we thought. So we walked home wet up to our waist. Before it was just to our ankles. hahah 

THurs: We visited our Old ladies. We talked about one about the temple and how our bodies are temples and how we need to be clean and ready to return to the temple when we need to. She loves to share her testimony. She told a story she shared her testimony to an attorney because they were just sitting there in awkward silence in a car ride. I like everyone needs to have the courage of old ladies. They don't care they just speak their mind and no one can do anything about it. hahahah Another one I thought she was a 16 year old. She had on baggy shorts and a tank top and was chilling under a tree looking at her garden that she just planted and then she ran to open her gate for us and sat in her window to listen to us share. SHE IS 77 Years OLD but can do everything. We shared about how faith is like her Garden. She is like God knows plants, that makes me happy. 

Friday: Visited an investigator and she went to CHURCH! and she shared about all the things she learned in first Nephi because now she is on second Nephi!!!!!!!!   I love it. 

Then we visited some members that where sick. One was a little girl that only has a dad no mom. She was watching her Grandma cook and was ignoring her out going siblings. She is a tough kid. We asked if they needed anything from the Ward (we are like home teachers) but everything Changed when her dad walked in. she was about to cry. It was a tender moment because she knew her dad was there now to take care of her. Then we taught an investigator and then found out after that that her mom doesn't want us to teach her. :I 

We talked with the Patriarch of Cagayan providence. (There is one for every Providence I think... ) It was like talking with Dad. We talked about the how in the Salt Lake Temple is live and how cool it is. It was fun and it just made me realize how much spirit just radiates off of really faithful people. 

We had an investigator come to church that always wanted to and she always reads the Book of Mormon, and we picked her up but I think she had a good experience because her kid slept though the whole thing and it was testimony meeting and when I shared my testimony she Cried and she wanted to share her testimony of the Book of Mormon but she had a sleeping kid in her arms. That was good. 

I have a hammock!
