Philippin' Awesome: WORKING HARD

Week 59

Monday, July 31, 2017

Hello Friends and Family,

How are you all doing? This week was great!

So, the big news this week is that Tay "A" will be baptized on Saturday!!! He passed his interview and is super excited for his baptism!

This week nothing too crazy happened… except for rain... 2 hurricanes hit the Pinas this week. It wasn’t strong here, but it was in Luzon. The rain here however, was still crazy! It rained so hard. One day we walked outside to work and it was sunny and hot, ten minutes later were caught in a torrential downpour haha. It has been fun though, just another fun part of the Philippines!!!

This week has been great. We have been finding a lot. We found some really good investigators, and they are from Dumangas!!!!! Sooo cool! They are the "M" family. We have only been able to teach them once, but they are cool and they live super close to some members which is such a great thing.

Some more exciting news is that "R" Sr. is now officially preparing for his baptism. He solved his Word of Wisdom problems, and he is going to church every Sunday. He is so awesome and he is such a great person. This gospel has changed his life so much!

Today’s Preparation Day was also very fun. This morning we had a zone activity. It was great seeing friends and playing some games. I really enjoyed being around all the other missionaries. We played sports and some other games. Afterwards, our district played this game called “Avalon.” It is soooo fun. It’s kind of like like a game called warewolf. A member here in Iloilo makes the game...I will be excited to play and introduce it to all of you when I get home!!

I'm sorry this email is short, but that's about all I have for this week.

Halong kamo

Love,
