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.
