Hump Day
November 23, 2014
Happy Pday!!
Hope all is well with you and things
are chugging along!
This week was a week! I honestly
don't remember much of what we did this week other than work, work, work... But
it was indeed good! We have really been fasting and praying to find new
investigators and we were blessed enough to have found 7! I am so excited to
start teaching them and helping them understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
One of the people we found was a man named Randy. We had already taught his
wife, Alma, twice before and then he decided to join. He told us that he never
listens to missionaries from all of the other religions, but he had been
looking forward to the day when we would come visit him. He and his wife live
up in the mountains in quite humble circumstances and harvest rice as a living,
and they are ready to make changes in their life to bring them closer to Jesus
Christ. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others see the joy that
comes from living the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The other day we got an odd text
from one of our investigators, informing us that they other night she was
really mad at God and was praying to Him and swearing at Him and then she said
that a light came into her room brighter than she can even explain, calling her
by name.... Umm...We had absolutely no idea how to respond to this.. She says
that she thinks it is a sign that she needs to change... Yup... I think she
does need to change... Life as a missionary is never a bore! Haha
Yesterday Sister Wiradi, Sister
Apsay, Sister Valdez, and I all taught young womens! It made me miss all our
cute young women in the 3rd ward.. Send them my love! We talked about rescuing
the young women that have fallen from the path of activity and committed them to
come up with a plan of rescue! Hopefully our 3rd ward girls are doing some
rescuing too!!
So I am officially the only American
here in my kabahay! 2 of the sisters are Filipina, and the other is from
Indonesia. So I am the only English speaker! It is good for me to practice my
Tagalog! I am also the only one who does not eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner! It sometimes makes me laugh how different we are, but when it comes
down to it, we are all so much the same too.
