RIAZANg to Baptism July 29,2018

Hey Guys! 

The Rain has been clearing up and the sun is back out! It hasn't been straight raining like it has been and we are back to the heat. Some of the people the sisters have been teaching, their house got flooded.. but its okay now. As for the people we are teaching, they stayed safe from the storms. Honestly i would rather have it hot than rain. I like it better that way. 

As for the title of the email RIAZANg to baptism. You actually spell Riazan's name this way. Their family is doing good! There are about 8 that we are teaching. Riazan has been taking our church invitations really good even if that means he has to go by himself. This week as we taught the missionary lessons and really the basics of the gospel, we did find out some concerns. They had some drug usage before and Law of Chasity problems. But, they are taking the lessons so good and they are always asking us questions. The others don't have any church clothes to wear to church and the grandma is having a hard time taking care of the grandchildren because there are so many. But were trying to help all of them! They are so fun to teach and we love visiting with their family. Riazan has been making friends at church and the branch is really accepting him! He already acts like a member. Hes awesome. We finally got to meet his mom. She works in a different province but shes really cool. So were going to see what we can do about getting him baptized! 

Sister Julie was sustained for her calling as the new Relief Society Secretary! Shes going to do great! Lets keep her in our prayers! We are still teaching her husband and he went to church again but he doesn't really understand the lessons. Were going to make sure hes really ready before his baptism. But they are all doing great as a family. They have their scripture study and family prayers. And Julies Dad stays with them so hes still there for support. 

I was saddened with some of our other investigators this last week. They are loosing interest. I've tried everything to do to teach them and get them interested. But I guess its just not yet their time. We planted seeds tho! No effort is wasted!  

We have been working with the branch to help Less actives with concerns. And people have been getting helped. So its been great! Its great to see the new ministering program in action and seeing people helped. So it was a busy week last week and lots of fun! 

The Church is true! Those were some of the highlights of my week! 

Mahal ko kayo! Have a good week!

The following pictures will give you all a good idea of the super typhoon we just experienced here in Olongapo City ( and throughout our entire mission).
