Kamusta
kamo??!!!
It
has been a great week! wooo! I was happy to get all of your emails this week!
Wow
I can't believe it is already February! Time is flying, January went by so
fast!! Time goes by so much faster the longer I am out on the mission! It is
weird! But this week was a really awesome week, a lot of miracles or even just
tender mercies as well!
This
week we been focusing on the Gallo Family and they are doing great! They are
progressing great and we have another goal date for them on the 23rd
of February and as long as they just keep doing what they are doing they
will be baptized on that day! Yesterday it was fast and testimony sunday and I
had one of the most special experiences on my mission. Sister Gallo (member)
bore her sincere testimony and how grateful she is that her kids and her
husband are at church and will be baptized. She said she is especially grateful
that she has seen the influence of church and the gospel in her kids because
the kids always want to go with us and do missionary work. As she bore her
testimony with tears in her eyes it was hard for me as well to hold back tears.
Just little experiences like that is what makes a mission so cool! I love the
Gallo family and I am so happy that I am able to teach them the Gospel and see
the effect it has on them! That is for sure something I will not forget, the
spirit was very strong!
Another
cool experience I had this past week was just a couple of days ago (Sat/sun).
So we started our fast sat. after lunch and it is always hard to fast, but this
time there was a numerous amount of times we were offered food, but somehow we
stayed strong all the way through. We were fasting for many things, but
specifically to find new investigators that are prepared to hear our message
and wow, it was a miracle. That very day we found 2, great, awesome new
investigators and they came to church too! One of them is a 54 yr old lady,
sister Elizabeth, she came from Negros island and she was taught by
missionaries over there and in our first lesson with her she asked us when she
can be baptized, wow! Then also that day we went to visit a kind of less
active family and after we taught them, Bro mark, the husband of sister
percalin who is not a member told us that he wants to be taught! We were so
blessed, and I have a firm testimony of sincere prayer and fasting, it truly
can change hearts. Heavenly Father really does hear and answer our prayers, but
we also have to do our part! That is a huge thing that I have learned on the
mission!
Oh
and today we had an awesome zone activity!! Wahoo! We went to a resort called
Andana in Nueva Valencia! I got to go back to my first area! And also bro rhen
poll ( member from nueva valencia) came with us! Holy cow it was so cool! The
view is amazing! SO what we did was play beach volleyball for a while, walked around
and looked at all the cool views and then got mango shakes, it was such a fun
zone activity. Guimaras is a beautiful place! I will send pictures!
Well
that should probably do it for this week! I love you guys! Have a great week!
