A Miracle and An Angel

This week we also experienced a little mirracle. haha we were finding in one of our areas. we both had the impression to stop at a house at the end of a long driveway. the gate was open so we just went in. as we got closer the people sitting outside ran inside and called out an older guy with white hair. he immedietly invited us to sit down. we thought he was jehova witness at first but then he whipped out his temple recomend(president Rigucera)! haha he is a retired Branch president from another part of the philippines. he is visiting his family because a relative of his receantly died. he explained that he has been looking for missionaries in vigan because he doesn't know where the church is here. since we met him he has fellowshiped with us almost everyday with new refferals each day. we go to all his family, old friends, and classmates. haha he is super funny. he treats everyone like his best friend even if he barely knows them! haha! once he didn't know the name of one of his nephews so he just yelled "Fat Man! Fat Man! Come here Fat Man!" hahahahaha!!!!!!! we were sooo suprized but the guy didn't seem angry or offended. through him we have noticed a difference in our lessons. we always have him testify of the blessings of the gospel. (he was baptized when he was 40) he is always so real and sincere that the people we teach seem so much more open to the restored gospel. He was planning on going home last friday wich leads to the next mirracle. haha kinda. when he worked with us for the first time he expressed his desire to teach all of his family and friends he told us that he is not sure whether the lord wants him to stay. he also lost his wallet with all his money for the bus to go home. this has caused him to stay until wednesday(more time to fellowship and reffer) haha! he is the most hardworking fellowshiper i have ever heard about. he commits us to baptizing everyone he refers and to work with him! haha! he has a vision of having a branch in his little barangay. we believe that it is a serious possibility. for no other reason than the faith of this old member.
