Committed Investigators
this week
was good. we have still been doing finding. we went back to the family i told
you about. only the father was able to be taught. last time we left a book of
mormon and an assignment to read the introduction. he showed us that he had
read past the introduction and was currently reading the testimony of Joseph
Smith! We were so suprised! before
during most of the lessons he hadn't participated too much! he had just sat
quietly and listened. we then taught him more about the book of mormon. we bore
our testimonies that it is true and that he will recieve an answer that it is
true as he reads it and prays to know wether it is true. He seemed to be
excited to read it! It is too bad we only were able to visit them once.
Typhoons
we were
going to return on saturday to commit them to comming to church, but our
president texted us. he said that all the missionaries in the mission had to
return to thier apartments by 5 that day because there was a Typhoon coming. so
that is what we did. the APs and the zone leaders texted us a bunch always
asking if we were doing ok. haha. I was kind of excited i had never experienced
a typhoon before on my mission. we just studied in our apartment while we
waited. not much happened. it rained a little. the next day we went to church.
None of our investgators we had invited to church came! not even the ones who
have baptismal dates coming up. we had 2 brand new investigators come to
church. One we had actually taught once. she lives way out in one of our
farthest areas. one of our Reacent converts is friends with her and brought
her. the other we had never met before. she is the daughter of a young couple
that we taught a few times. our BML brought her. We were super blessed that
they came! we will deffinetly focus on them and their families this week. in sacrament
Elder Iosefa (zoneleader), Elder yuson, and I gave talks. I talked about
endurance. haha i am still no good at giving talks!haha! but i am grateful for
the experience. I feel like i have gotten over the nervousness, that i used to
get before and while i gave talks, a little bit. Just wait ill be a pro when i
give my homecoming talk haha!
Sleep
after church
we had to go directly back to our apartment because of another typhoon that was
coming. so we just studied the whole day. only around 8pm it started to get
windy and started to rain. we lost power around 9. our president said we could
go to bed at 9:30! YES hahahahah! i think i slept through the storm. haha. in
the morning i was dissapointed. only a couple twigs had fallen from the trees.
i was expecting a big storm. haha. Everyone had seemed really worried.
More Cleaning
we are still
looking for a new apartment. there were elders in the apartment before me. they
just NEVER cleaned. Elder Pacala was super suprised when i started cleaning
everything. he just finished his training and he told me he never saw his
trainer cleaning, other than sweeping. so i have been teaching him what an
apartment should be like. today we cleaned the kitchen. Gack! hahah there were
some smells in there that i don't ever want to smell again! It took us about 2
hours but it is starting to look and smell better.
