Hello my beautiful family!!!
How are yalls doing?! I heard a certain brother of mine is back in the area!
Give that man some lovin for me!
Well, as far as I go, my week
was super maganda! We found an apartment for the new elders. Now president is
not sure whether he wants to do an emergency transfer and split the area now
(the most likely thing is that Packard and I will be split if that happens, and
Packard will go with the new area) or wait till the end of the transfer.... We
shall see. The work was a little bit slower this week but it was still a super
good week!!
First, Alma came back from
Manila! She left right after we baptized her. She is still going to Saudi
Arabia for the next two years starting Thursday, but it was super good to see
her again at church yesterday!! She is awesome!
Good news, Tom decided he is
not leaving yet! so we will still be having his baptism in.. 3 weeks now? Yeah!
I am super pumped for him! Apparently he has just been blindly believing us
this whole time, and we finally got him to pray about the Book of Mormon and he
got an answer! Finally! It has been strange arguing the counter arguments so
that he realizes that there may be a possibility that it isn't true in order to
freaking get him to pray about it! But he did pray, and he did get an answer,
just like we promised him he would!
The Santillans are amazing! I
will try to get a picture for you! There dad had kinda the same thing happen
this week as Tom. But he has an amazing testimony, and amazing faith. They are
gonna be baptized at the end of the month. They are gonna be having a child
probably this week. And the baby will be the Brother of Jared!!! (Jared is his
3 year old brother... cutest kid in the whole world. We are good pals...).
Haha, so one time we were on
the jeepney, and I was talking to this old guy, but he couldn't really here. I
ended up inviting him to listen to us right before he left, but I had to
basically shout it... yeah... after he left I turned around and felt like I was
a vulture eyeing my prey! I turned on them and I could feel all the heads
looking away from me. Then it was just like, alright, who wants to talk to me
next! Bring it on! Hahaha, yeah, woops, cats out of the bag, I want you all to
listen to me!!!!
Bah, I always forget the
journal..... Well, Cool story about a kid we are teaching. His name is Adrian.
He has a phobia of leaving his neighborhood and hasn't even left it in three
years. He does everything we ask him though and he has a lot of faith. He wants
to serve a mission some day. But cant leave his neighborhood. We've had a
string of like, 8 lessons with him that have just been KILLER AWESOME!!!!!
Spiritual monster lessons those. Well, he has a lot of faith, but we all
decided, its time to start exercising his faith. So we decided, since his
problem is fear, we are walking him out to his "boundary," going a
little bit further, he gets scared, we have to stop, and then we teach a
lesson, bring the spirit really strong, and it chases the fear away. And he can
enjoy that area. And then we keep walking, when we have to stop again, we say
the closing prayer there, and then walk him home. He progressed a ton this
week!!! The main road his about a 15 minute walk from his house. He could walk
about five minutes from his house... we are hoping to reach the main road
withing the next two weeks or so. It'll be a while before he can make it to
church, but it is good to see him exercising his faith and getting out! He's
the stuff! Love him.
Well, that's kinda it for this week! I love you all! And I
hope you have tons of fun. Dallin still can't get married till I get home, so
Dallin, "You better get comfortable down there, real comfortable."
-Remember the Titans.
Haha, Peace out Family!
