We got hit by another typhoon, but just a little bit here. I just
woke up this morning and everywhere outside our apartment was flooded
about knee high. I am used to it now. It's chill. Rainy season's
about over and then Christmas time! (Christmas in Philippines goes from September through December) Although Christmas is definitely a
lot different here.
Transfers are on October 9th and I'm guessing I'll be out of here. The works going well here. We've all just been workin to get things ready for our stake baptism on October 5. I think everyone should at least have one. We're hoping to have 3, but we'll see what happens. Only a few weeks left.
And no worries. All that
terrorist stuff is down south were they don't even have American
missionaries. The middle east people are pretty nice here. I was sitting at my desk the other night and this Indian guy peeked
through my window and said in a total Indian accent, "Hello! You American?" I was just like, "Yup, I am." Then he was just like "Oh... did
you eat your dinner?" "Yea, just finished." Then he was just awkward and said, "Oh, OK. Bye." So yea, nothing to worry about!
Yes, Brother and Sister Sperry get home just a few weeks before I do. You guys should go to their homecoming. I wish I could.
Well nothing super new here. I've just been gettin' sick. My comp was sick
last week and now passed it on to me. I was dying yesterday, but
came home and just passed out last night, but I feel quite a bit
better today. I just had a fever and stuff, but I'm alright now.
Some Jehovah's Witnesses came to our house
the other day. They tried to OYM us. (OYM = Open Your Mouth - referring to sharing the Gospel) but the guy was nice. So we just
listen and oym'ed him back. We got his info so missionaries can go teach
them.:-)
We have this new investigator. She's waaaaay sick. She's the house help of a member in the ward, so we
started teaching her. She's been going through churches for the past 42
years trying to find the right one. We had a really good lesson with her and
she came to church and talked to us for a while about the Plan of Salvation pamphlet that we had given her. She was stoked and understood
everything really well. She is definitely a "golden" investie. We are actually teaching
her again tonight, so we'll give her a baptismal date too.
Eh, what else? I did exchanges with some elders in my
district, so we brought a new elder to our area. we had a looong lesson with
the old branch president of this ward who's apostated now and doesn't
believe in prophets after Christ. His only reason is cause he said the Bible says Christ would
be the last prophet. So, I asked him where it says that and he
didn't know. Oh well...
We've been focusing a lot with teaching
active members and giving them Books of Mormon to give out. So hey, you
guys do the same, alright? Practice for your couples mish!
Thats all! Love ya,
