Finding
This was a good week! we did a ton of finding! we found and talked to so many people! finding is turning out to be my favorite proselyting activity! haha! whenever we find we meet knew people, joke and laugh with them, meet their families, play with the kids, and teach short lessons(HTBT mostly) I love when we find families who are happy and excited to hear what we share. I feel like our area is really improving and we have seen many blessings here! for example: This on sunday we had a really cool experience. we had set an appt./lesson with a car mechanic that we met this last week. he had told us before that he had been 7th day adventist and muslim before, so i was a little skeptical that he wanted to learn, but instead to bible bash. It was amazing though. he has been so prepared by the lord. He does not drink,smoke, or worship reboltos(the statues of christ,etc.). He loves his family so much and just wants them to be happy. he told us that he wants to center his family on christ! even before we started teaching/HTBTing. He also explained his belief in christ and the cleansing power of christs atonement. of all these things we bore testify and added to! he also explained that he has always felt something was missing in his life and he has never found it. he told us that he has also never before felt the way he felt when he was with us! he couldn't explain it! haha we told him that it was the HG testifying that our message is true and that Heavenly Father had sent us to teach him truth. it was an amayzing experience for both me and Elder Pingol. this is the first time something like this has happened to me on my mission. after i felt rejuvenated and excited to continue the work! both me and Elder Pingol feel like the Lord is guiding us always and that he is sending us to those who he has prepared for us. I love this work! even though i miss home I don't want to stop my mission! I am glad that i still have a long time to go! haha!
The Market
the fish market looks a lot like a plangke, but a lot more clean and organized! haha! I am jealous that you get to go on such a cool vacation + have nice toilets. haha! yeah food here is really cheep expecially if you buy from a plangke! every month we recieve 1000 for each week. It is just that here in this area the food is really cheep so we only use 500 P a week! it is really nice! it has saved us from the travel expenses earlier this month. this week with a bit of the extra we bought some dragon fruit. elder Pingol and I have never had it before. it is super expensive! 90 a kilo (well when you compare it to other foods here!haha) I will try to send a picture! yeah this week we have been getting a lot of thunder storms. almost everyday around 6 pm... haha. they are really cool because so far not too much rain but lots of lightning! once as we were going to our next apt. we walked on the beach and we watched the lightning strike the ocean and the island/volcano nearest to my area. It was really exciting and beautiful.
