Malipayon
nga bago nga tuig!!! Happy New year!!
Well
I just talked to you guys a few days ago, so who knows how long this email will
be! But it was so great to talk to you guys on Christmas!! You all look and
sound great and mom only cried a little so that sounds like a
successful call to me! It was probably the best call yet. It was great to
talk, and it didn't really make me miss home at all, no offense guys
haha.
So
this week was a really good week!
The
best part about this week was the progress of one of our investigator family.
The Gallo family. They are a part member family. Sister Gallo is the only
member, she has been a member for a some years now, but her husband and kids
are not yet members. Her husband was an investigator like 10 years ago, and he
was almost baptized, but moved to manila for work and it never happened. Now
they moved here like a year or something ago and they live next door to the
branch president and are somehow related to our branch president. We have been
teaching them for a few weeks now and they are really progressing. Bro Rameer
Gallo and his 2 kids that are above 8, ram-ram and trisha have a baptismal
date for jan 19. It is awesome to teach them, they are super receptive and
want to be baptized so they are all together as a family. Just last night we
had an awesome lesson with them and sister Gallo said that little ram-ram (9yrs
old) idolizes us as missionaries. hse siad that sometimes they will play
a game and pretend they are missionaries haha. I thought that was really funny
and pretty cool. My whole mission I have wanted a family baptism and I think
this would be just the same, to help a family have a chance to go to the temple
all together. That was a great part of the week.
We
also have 2 other candidates for january. Sister arselean and sister Irine.
They are the grandchildren of the 1st counselor of the branch and they are
doing great as well. They are really progressing and have a baptismal date for
January 12. We are really excited for January. We are so blessed this past
transfer with just people prepared by Heavenly Father to receive the
gospel.
Today
we did our typical pday routine of playing basketball in the morning, it
is so fun to play basketball with our district! We have so much fun! Then we
all eat at our favorite place. We call it the best carinderria in Guimaras! It
is really just okay, but we say that to make the people who cook the food
happy!
Well
that is probably all for this week, sorry it is a little short! Have a great
new years eve and Day! GO UTES! Hope they win! I know they will!!! Bang pots
and pans real loud for me this year!! Love you guys
