Transfers

Well, we had a lunch appointment and so we were late getting to the cafe!  I had recorded a recording of my week, but unfortunately it is too large to attach..it was 40 min though, so I will have a shorter one ready to send next week! This week has been great! We finally got a ward mission leader! We have coordinated with him so much and now we can finally get organized! We have found 6 new investigators this week! It is amazing how if we just open our mouth, we'll be surprised at who is ready to hear the gospel.  We have been busy with trying to find a new house.  We found one that we are most likely moving into if we both stay! Our housing has been a nightmare! But, we have stayed positive! This week I also used a cardigan! What the heck?! haha. Who would've thought.  It rains consistently here by the bucket fulls! We have had so many progressing investigators and recent converts this week! We have had three youth, two sisters and one elder working with us helping share their testimonies in the lessons! There were just a few funny stories this week.  Walking to one appointment there was a group of ten kids that ran up to me and clung to my body! They wouldn't let go and so Sis Molino and I counted to three and ran! hahah Scary! Not really, but it's crazy what an American brings! haha. Then, another funny thing is all the Filipinos tell me they want my white skin..yes, it's still white! haha Actually I have tan lines on my feet!! and I'm proud of them :) But here, they use whitening soap! hahahahahah I died laughing! There isn't much to write about other than we are finally getting organized and making progress with those we are teaching and are excited to teach those investigators we found! I can truly testify once more that the church is true! No matter how bad we think we have it, for example with Elizabeth Smart, she had it rough, but its how we handle those situations that molds our character and who we are! I am thankful to have served in the Bacolod 6th ward this transfer and whether I stay or go and whether Sis. Molino stays my trainer or not, I am willing to go and do! Thank you for all the love and support that you all have given me! I pray for you daily and remember that the gospel is true and when life gets too hard to stand, kneel.  That's what I do. And I can testify that the Lord will bless you! Enjoy more pictures!

Halong po kag palanga kita!
