Kamusta Kamo??!

Well this week has been another good one! We got everything in the apartment finally settled down so we were able to focus and just work the whole week! Got a lot of great work done and we found some more new investigators. Filipinos are the nicest people and it does make it easier that everyone has a christian background.An experience we had this week was we were talking and walking with this kid until we reached their house and his Mom was outside and before we could even explain who we were she invited us right in. We talked with her and shared a Book of Mormon with her, and she was so grateful, it was a really cool experience. It is awesome how Heavenly Father is preparing people.  We have been talking to a lot of new people by asking questions about where places are because we aren't completely familiar with everything, but it is a great opportunity to share the gospel. 

This week we got more into a schedule of teaching our investigators and their progress so far is great. Especially with Sister Irish, she is awesome. She has great member support, she is close friends with a ton of members. This week we shared with her the Restoration Video and The Plan of Salvation. She is so interested and loves learning about the gospel. As we were teaching her about the Plan of Salvation she thought it was so cool, that this is what we do all the time ( share the gospel) and she expressed her desire to serve a mission as well. She is super excited for her baptism on Dec 22 (which is also the branch Christmas party) .

This is probably the area where I have walked the most. Our area is huge and there are not many rides, especially at night. so we just walk. Sometimes we are so tired we come home and go to bed at like 9 haha. But it is great sleep because we are so tired. But it has been a lot of fun so far, members are willing to help and the Lord has blessed us. Looks like we will have a few more baptisms in January. 

Well that should do it for this week! Tomorrow and wed. is the mission christmas conference and I am super excited too see everyone! It should be so fun!! This is my last one so I better enjoy it! I appreciate and Love you guys so much. Thanks for the constant support you give! You are the Best!!! GO JAZZ GO UTES(on new years eve)

Palangga ko kamo!
