So Transfer News came this week. My companion and I didn't get transfered. But the twist is Sister Missionaries got added to the Branch! That also means we had to give some of our investigators to them. Which Elder Rigby and I were super bummed about. We loved going to the Sabado Family but we have trust in the sisters! There's also some others we had to give to them. So yeah we had to split the area with them. But it'll be good! We've already seen miracles! We didn't get anyone to go to church actually from their area last transfer. Which i feel bad about don't get me wrong. But this last Sunday they had Mauro Sabado go to church. One of the brothers in a family of 9, The Sabado Family! So the Miracles have already begun. Everyone also loves the sisters. So they are going to kill it!
As for Elder Rigby and I, We spent time this week helping out the sisters know who all the people we were visiting with. We basically took them on a tour of the area! The Branch President also came with us and helped out! So now, they know the area and all of the people we were teaching! So success.
As for us we are finishing the Diwa Families lessons and getting them ready for their baptism this Saturday! They are super excited and ready! We taught them about Missionary work this last week and guess what happened! They did Missionary work right away! They brought their Aunt with them to church! Sister Julies older sister. Turns out she was visiting town this week and shes not a member. So they invited her to come to church and she came! Their faith is so real! I love them so much! Im super excited for Saturday! Julie's dad is going to be able to be absent from his work so he can attend and he wants to be the baptizer! So we cant wait! Everything is going super smooth.
Also its that time of the year again! Tag-ulan (Rainy season) Elder Rigby and I finally had to go looking for Umbrellas to buy! Its been raining every day! But that hasnt stopped us from working hard and visiting our investigators! I love this work and I hope to make my Heavenly Father proud out here in the Philippines.
Another Statistic that came out that i forgot to mention last week! is that the Philippines, not grouped with any other countries is ranked #2 in baptisms per missionary in the world behind Africa. So what a more wonderful time for me to be a part of this marvelous work and be doing it in the Philippines.
Our investigator Rico who we've been teaching for a while now got the courage to talk to his wife about the church. Because it always seems to happen while we teach him his wife is at work. And when we did talk to her she didn't want anything to do with us and she actually got mad at us. She doesn't like that he reads the Book of Mormon. But anyways. He asked her if they could go to church this Sunday! And she said no. But we find that a miracle that before even Rico wasn't to ecstatic about going to church but now he has a desire to go to church! So thats what the Spirit does to people! It changes their hearts!
So yeah thats basically a summary of our week here in Lubao! Hope you guys are having a good week! And for the fam.. Have a good time in Mexico! Make sure to send me lots of pics! Have a blast! Love you guys!
