Another week has flown by! Crazy that i am now down to single digits left....what the heck??? So fast. Sometimes i think it is too fast.
This week was pretty good. We had a couple of really great work days but most of the days we got bunked pretty hard, but still managed to teach about 30 lessons so that was good.
I baptized sister Baby this week! That was great! She was so
happy, and we asked her daughter Daisy to speak at her baptism and they both
cried during her talk. It was so great. Baby is going to be a great
member. And Sandra is still doing amazing. I confirmed her
yesterday which was tough for me because i only did it in English, but during my
blessing to her i felt like i should bless her with understanding just for this
time and think she did. I struggled to keep it together confirming her
because i have become super close with her. Which is kind of crazy
because i never would have guessed that i would have got so close to her haha, she is awesome. I really love Sandra. So with a baptism and
two confirmations this week it was pretty good. And also Brian came to
church and is doing really great as well as Romel. He came as well.
He was sick the night before church so said he probably wouldn't be able to
come, but we prayed real hard for him and he came and liked it and his interview
for baptism is this week!! We are really going to have a big november with
probably 4 baptisms!! Romel, Brian, Jadalyn and Jenni. Super excited for
that.
Many of the members told me something this week that was
kind of touching. They told me they don't want to me to leave DapDap
because ever since i came, something changed. There started to be more
baptisms, and now members are more excited about what is happening in the
branch. There was one elder who served here for a record 8 months, and
these members are saying they want me to stay the whole rest of my mission
haha. Pretty crazy. It is weird how they are liking me though
because i don't even fluently speak their language. But i still am
trying. And we are seeing lots of success, so we are super excited about
that.
I'll send pics next week of Baby's baptism and also of our
new meeting house!! Brand new meeting house and it is nice. Much better
than what we have now.
So I am doing pretty well here, and sounds like you are doing
great there!!! That is great. Nice to read those letters from the
ward. And sounds like grandpa has quite the keeper of a horse.
So yep still trying to stay focused here despite the
india-trunkiness haha. Gosh i miss that place. But as long as i
stay here in the Philippines, i want to stay in DapDap because we are getting it
done here!!
Anyways love you guys so much. Thanks for the
continued awesome support and love and have a great week again!
