Week 36
Monday, February 20, 2017
This week was a great week. Elder Merrill and I went on splits Tuesday through Thursday. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from him. We actually found a ton of people that I am excited to go back and visit this week. It's amazing what a fresh person can do for an area.
On Saturday, we had "N's" baptism! It was great and a really good service. I love seeing people commit to being baptized, then actually follow through with it. It is the best to see a person grow closer to Christ and feel his presence. I love teaching people about my Savior, he is my literal brother. My testimony of Jesus Christ has grown so much while serving a mission.
Back to the week, So this week we were able to teach the "S" family once. They actually tried to come to church last week...they waited for two hours and weren't able to get a trike. This week their uncle died, so they were in Kalibo. The "A" family is getting really close to baptism. They are trying to keep come to church, but things keep happening that prevent them from coming. "L's" faith is growing so much that she is giving us referrals...way cool!
Now, we are in San Jose because we just had a Zone Activity. It was fun... we played basketball and dodge ball. We will be heading home in a hour or so.

That's really all I have for this week. I love this work so much, I love being a missionary, and most of all I love the people of the Philippines. The Philippines is the best place in the world.
I'm so lucky I can spend 2 years of my life here
Love you all,
Ingat Kayo lahat
Love, Elder Andersen
