Soo wanna know what the weather is like in the
ppines.. well the subject tells you exactly what it’s like! hahaha It’s so
annoying how one second it’s hot and then it rains out of nowhere sometimes
just a couple minutes or seconds and then leaves and the sun comes
back and then IT’S 10X HOTTER AND 10X MORE HUMID! hahaha
but......I LOVE IT! haha I can’t stand the
cold! So this last Sunday we had general conference and we went to watch it in
the stake center and WOW!! Air conditioned rooms are WAYYY TOO COLD!! I could
barely pay attention cause I was freezing haha but it was nice cause it also
kept me and everyone else awake! (along with my bag FULL of candies hehe)
but CONFERENCE WAS UMMM AMAZING!! like WOAH! Soo crazy good! We were
soo sad tho because we had 3 investigators that were planning on coming and 1
super special one that wants to learn soo much about prophets and apostles
BUT...none of them came! The 1 bailed on us last second because her dad (who is
an inactive member) wouldn't let her go.. #SAD! Then the other
2 didn't go because the member that was gonna go with them to show
them where the stake center was got sick and didn’t go... me and my comp were
super devastated because there was some AMAZING talks for
investigators! The prophet bearing down in pure testimony of the Book of
Mormon, and other apostles teaching clearly the doctrine of the Godhead and the
role of the spirit in them learning its true! And then others just
speaking STRAIGHT to investigators helping them on this
CRAZY path that they are traveling! And giving them the courage to keep
going...and others showing THE BLESSINGS they received thru the
gospel and how it blessed their ETERNAL families... LIKE WOAH!! that conference
was AWESOME!!
But other than that this week we have been
mainly working with those 3 I mentioned earlier.. their names are 1 Arcel 19
shes the one who wants to learn about prophets.. 2 Antonette 18 she is a friend
of a member that just loves being in the church with people that treat her soo
well! 3 Gilbert 18 he also has a couple member friends and his family is also
members..just not active but he just told us one day he wanted to be baptized
so we are working on helping him develop a testimony so he doesn’t end up like
his other family members..
but we also are trying to find some new
investigators we didn’t have any good success this week besides people that we
set return appointments for this week and we’ll see how they are! And we got
2 referrals yesterday that we will contact to see if they are
"the one” we've been trying to find!
I’m soo happy with the progression I’m seeing
in this area and with all this work in general! I just heard that 2
investigators are getting baptized that I taught in my last area so I’m happy
to see miracles happening in this work!!
I know this church is true and I’m so #blessed
to be here in this work!
I love you all and I’m so thankful for all your
support for missionary work thru your prayers and personal missionary
work!
LOVE ELDER PANADERO
ps.dont forget...
HAKUNA MATATA!!
Now we have a world where people are confused.
If you don't believe it, go and watch the news.
We can get direction all along our way,
If we heed the prophets -- follow what they say.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; don't go astray.
Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,
Follow the prophet; he knows the way.
