Like
always, another long week! Started out last Wednesday with a visit to a less
active family who hasn't been to church in 7 months! The father is also the 2nd
counselor here. Well after a great lesson about Jesus' appearance to the
Nephites, we committed him and his family to go to church and sure enough they
showed up! I am seeing a new light in this family from our visits and I sure
hope that they are able to come back!
We gave out a good
amount of blessings to peeps this week. One was to this little baby girl
running a fever of 41 Celsius (nearly 106)! This made an impression on me when
I saw her. I feel so bad when little babies get sick! They can’t talk or even
tell us what’s wrong to understand what to do to feel better. I also hope that
she will get better.
So the teaching pool
here has gone up 3 families! FREAK! Walking around FTEing for two weeks is
starting to pay off! Nonetheless, the families we have found are much like the
families in Toboso. They are great and hopefully will progress well! We
committed one to baptism yesterday night so that was good!
Went to a family’s b-day
and received cake and such. Took one bite and was like "COFFEE!
NNNNUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!" This family is a more poor family and they had this
very expensive cake so I turned to Elder Adap and say "The Lord will
forgive you!" Yeah still not sure where to go with that one but at least
we didn't insult the members.
So Thursday night we
went to a city called Carcar. We had our New Year’s party there. We watched two
movies - 1) MegaMind and 2) Inside Out.
I really liked that Inside Out movie. It wasn't the usual/typical Disney thing.
I thought it was good. Well I figured out why we don't normally watch movies.
They really throw you out of the missionary mode. No one had good stats at the
end of the week and I blame the worldly entertainment - haha.
We went on splits Monday
and then Elder was sick on Tuesday so we spent most of the day at the
apartment. I am almost done with Alma in my Book of Mormon reading again. It’s
only been about 3 weeks and I plan to be finished by the end of this transfer
(Jan 28). It’s been hot here and I wish for the snow! It really didn’t feel
like the holidays! It’s just been hot and hot and hot... so on so forth.
A lot better of a week
this week. I wish it stays like this!
I wish the best for you
all back at home! Love you all!!
Amping moha!
