Last week we finally listened to General Conference! Wow it was really good. Some things that stuck out to me was about helping someone else. I felt like that was repeated a lot. How we need to focus on others and help someone in need. Or maybe that's just what i needed to hear haha. So i really liked that. And the last message with Neil L. Anderson of course stuck out to me. About how he ended it with President Monson's blessing upon all of us. His talk was super powerful. But it was great to hear their voices and their words of inspiration.
Well that me and my companion and pretty new to the area we found most of the people that the missionaries before us taught and we've picked up on their teaching. We've been doing a good job with trying to resolve concerns and really teach the people not lessons. We've helped some of them commit to baptism and we have a super cool family that were teaching but the wife is in Saudi Arabia working. And the husband with no job has no job and he has to take care of the kids. Its kind of a reverse haha its funny. But their super cool. But they want to get baptized. So we goaled them for November. There's the dad and his 4 kids. So they've been fun to teach and hopefully they can get to church this Sunday.
These weeks have been a blur it goes by so fast. But we only had 2 investigators at sacrament this week. So i mean only 2 of our investigators our understanding what we actually teach if their the only ones going to church. But hopefully we can change that this coming Sunday. But ill talk about the ones who went to church..
So the first one is a Dad. He had a live in partner for so many years so they could never get baptized because they never got married. But they let all the kids get baptized. But this week the wife left so he said he wants to get baptized in December if she doesn't come back. So us missionaries are happy! and then its one of our new investigators. She lives by our recent converts and their actually cousins. So she got taught by the missionaries before but she never got baptized because she stopped going to church. But seeing her cousins have been going to church has sparked her interest again and she went to church with them. So it was cool. But her and her little sister were teaching but the parents though. Thats the real question. The Dad wont really talk to us but we talked to the wife she is super cool and she was actually baptized way back when she was just a little girl. But when she got married like every filipino i swear haha. She stopped going to church. So hopefully we can teach them as one whole family but their house is a litlte small so theres really no space. But their next door neighbor is the wifes mom. So maybe we can work something out and teach there.
So i mean its been good. Its awesome we play basketball every pday here so its good exercise and its fun because I'm tall here haha so its easy to dominate. And we went on a super cool hike! So thanks for all the prayers and Ingat po kayo palage!
