Families are Forever! August 6, 2017

Hello po! 

The storms have let up as of right now so we are grateful! I'm actually grateful for the heat as of right now! 

But this week was great! 

On monday i went to Olongapo and got my Pilippino Drivers License! Elder Breinholt is now certified to drive in the Philippines! I wont be driving soon but one day hopefully I'll get the chance to drive here! That would be awesome haha! 

So this week we followed up with Lordes and her family! She was baptized when she was 13 and became less active as the years went bye and she was married and what not! But we have been teaching her again! So this week we took some members over to her house and we had such an awesome lesson! We talked about eternal families and the reality of the Church! And one of the members we were working with grabbed a picture of the family and testified that this Church has the power to seal her family and that she can know that she can see her family on the other side. And it was so powerful! We all felt the spirit really strong! That Sunday she went to church with one of her daughters! And she saw some people that were baptized around the same time she was! We were so ecstatic! it was so awesome! 

We also followed up with the family that came to church 2 weeks ago and showed the Joseph Smith video to them and invited them to be baptized by someone who holds the authority of God. They said yes, but they're not sure. So we will follow up with them this week! 

Other than that! We've been working with a family, and the mom use to listen to us but she has been very busy so we have been teaching the 12 year old boy. We were going to baptize him this Saturday but we ran into some problems. So we have to wait a little. But he came to church! He has some decent fellow-shippers and the Young Men's President is going to talk to him! So were praying for that family! 

The Church is true! I'm super grateful for this opportunity i have right now! It is so fun spreading the Gospel! It makes us so happy! Lets go spread it! 

I ate some pig skin chips this week! They're super popular here and they're growing on me! Other than that, the food is so good here! And this week we set up an appointment with members and investigators to say goodbye to my companion! So its going to be an awesome week! 

LOVE YOU ALL!!
