SO I’m soo excited to tell you guys about this
week!! This has been the BEST week I have had out here in Guinobatan since the
first week I got here! So in our weekly planning last week me and my comp made
some HUGE goals for new investigators this week and other goals to help our
investigators to progress and well IT WORKED!! It wouldn't have
worked without a little change of heart in me and my comp! My
companion doesn't really have motivation to tract out here cause he’s
been here for a long time now and hasn't had any success really in
tracting out here, but we had faith we would have success this week!
So on Tuesday we went out and started
tracting immediately We found and taught 3 new investigators right
when we started! Then as we went to go and try to teach one lady we had met on
the street the other week we took a detour down a road and as soon as we turned
the road I saw a guy outside his house and he looked at me and smiled and I
said to my comp “ we're gonna teach him!" Well as we got to his
front gate he was already opening the gate and he said "hey elders”.
I was like wait, you know the missionaries?? He’s like ya I’m a member
hahaha! Well, turns out he goes to church in the other ward, because
thats where his friends are haha so I didn’t know him but then he says
"come in elders I have someone I want you to teach!" HAHAHAHA
WHOAH!!! #blessed!! Well we get inside and turns out his cousin has been
coming to church with him the last 2 weeks and wants to get baptised!! Well the
elders in the other ward didn’t know where he lived so they never went to
him luckily we found him this week and finally got to teach him and
gave him a baptismal date for FEB 11!! he’s really excited for his baptism and
he’s also gonna be baptized with his nephew who is 8 yrs old!!
Well our prayer was answered!! We found our
GOLDEN INVESTIGATOR!!
But that’s not the only miracle that happened
this week…………..So remember that house I told you about that we built again for
that family after it got taken out by the typhoon! Well he’s a part member and
he’s been really hard hearted back in the day and didn’t want to listen to
missionaries! BUTT!!! We softened his heart THRU service!! He wants to be
taught now and he’s already started changing his life! He has had a problem
with the word of wisdom his whole life but now… IT'S GONE!! He completely
changed! WOAHH! #blessed!! We also set a baptismal date for him on Feb 26 which
is the baptism of Sister Monellia! The lady who is waiting to get
married to get baptized SOO WE ARE EXCITED FOR NEXT MONTH!! To see all
these baptisms go thru! Elder Ayson is a little sad cause he probably won’t be
here next transfer but he’s happy he was the one who found these
baptisms!!
Well that’s about it besides me losing 8 pounds
in 2 days... what.. #PrayForPanadero! hehe kidding just a little stomach
problem!
I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND AM SOO THANKFUL FOR YOUR
PRAYERS TO HELP MISSIONARY WORK THROUGHOUT THE WORLD! KEEP IT COMING!

And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren,
if ye have experienced a change of heart,
and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love,
I would ask, can ye feel so now?
