So first of all I love the Prince of Peace
thing that the church has started this Easter! It’s the coolest thing like
everyone finally gets to see that mormons do believe in JESUS
CHRIST!! A lot of people here think that because we are called mormons
that we don’t believe in Jesus Christ!! So I love going around giving
out the little Prince of Peace cards with Jesus Christ’s face on it!!
It’s the best thing ever! And the church even has a commercial I saw
on like national television!! I don’t know if that’s in America also but it’s
soo cool when people are like "ohh ya I saw that on the
commercial" like WHAT!? WE’RE FAMOUS!! lol! Especially with "holy
week" going on this last week, it was really fun to testify of Jesus
Christ to everyone!! But.. it was also hard cause alot of people were busy with
it being holy week this week... so people were doing stuff at their own church
and then alot of businesses shut down a couple of the days.. so it was pretty
weird. Like at one point we were walking thru a pretty busy part of the
city and there was like no one there haha weird but nice and quiet! At one
point there wasn’t even any jeeps or any transportation on the road haha but
luckily we had a dinner appointment at that time and by the time we
finished the jeeps were starting again so we got lucky and were able
to make it home hahaha.
But this week was a tough but fun week. We
didn’t get to teach all of our investigators that we were focusing on, but we
did get to at least see them throughout the week and just build
some relationships with them. We were disappointed on
Sunday when we woke up to POURING rain! As soon as it rains on a Sunday any
hope of our investigators coming to church goes right out the window! So none
of the ones we were focusing on made it out to church, but randomly one of our
investigators showed up with one of the ladies in our ward. So that was a sweet
surprise! She actually came with the nanay holding the gun in the pic I sent
haha Hopefully she didn’t threaten her to go to church with her!! jk
But about that pic. Well this lady is like one
of MY FAVORITE OLD PEOPLE EVER!! hahaha she’s awesome!! We stop by to visit her
and give her reading assignments and then she gives us snacks hahaha but she
always tells us to visit her so we stop by for a couple minutes every once in a
while hahaha But she PULLED A GUN ON US THIS WEEK HAHAHAHA! jk mom! But
it’s funny when we talk to her you literally have to YELL for her to hear you
and sometimes she will just smile and look at you and nod cause she didn’t hear
you hahaha and then go off on some story that is completely random! haha but I
LOVE HER!!
Something cool also that happened this week is
we got a referral from a member.. and turns out she was an
investigator back in the day when I was in Masbate! And we think we saw each
other at the church in Masbate during one of the conferences haha! weird!
no??
WELL I hope you all had a great Easter and keep
remembering our Savior!! I know he is truly our Savior and He LIVED and DIED
for us and LIVES again so we all will live again...WITH our eternal
families! LOVE YOU FAM!!
LOVE ELDER PANADERO
