Eating Horse and Carnival

Eating Horse and Church For the First Time

sorry i don't have much time but i will try to write as much as possible. this week we had a lot of great lessons we also got punted more than any other week haha! i have noticed that the more our area seems to progress the harder it also becomes to proselyte. haha. the Rigucera fam(fat man) is progressing we visit them regularly. once they fed us HORSE just before we left! it was actually really good. it was like beef but super healthy and soft. aparently it horse has almost no fat in it. you should try it some time! haha! yesterday sis. rigucera, her daughter and her niece came to church. it was too bad her husband and son didnt but we were super happy that at least they came. we sat next to them in sacrament meeting. they seemed to like it, it was different for them though. we are going to keep teaching thier family we have a baptismal goal for them next month. if they continue to come to church every sunday they will be ready. But Bro. Rigucira and thier son also need to come next sunday to make the goal date.

Carnival

this week the carnival continued until yesterday. many of our investigators couldn't come to church because they were in a parade that was scheduled the same time as church.but next week they will be able to! next week is going to be awesome! we will also have more fellowshipers. this week no one could work with us. also because of the carnival.

Minivan

yesterday we had bro mark anthony work with me again. (we went on splits) he took me around in his nice shiny MINI VAN haha! i felt rich again! haha! it felt too nice almost! haha. we went out to the far area again to teach the ilocano family. they are also progressing. instead of week, when i taught then my fellowshipers(2nd councilor,EQP,and YM2ncouncilor) translated i just gave them short topics to explain. we taught the Saviors earthy ministry. the lesson quality improved and the investigators seemed to understand a lot more. at the end i was suprised when 2 of the daughters pulled out a lined sheet of paper. they had covered it in questions from what they had read in the pamphlet we left them! haha! we only had time to answer 2-3. but the questions were great! (1. why was truth lost after death of apostoles?,why is the BOM a witness of christ? why does God love us even after we sin/don't follow him? haha it was Awesome. i felt that the spirit was stronger when they started asking their questions than at any other point in the lesson.

Zoo

this morning we went to a zoo. haha it was kind of funny. they had sheep, small horses, and deer walking all around(open cages to the walk ways). the main attractions though were the Tigers, and the animal show. they basically put snakes, lizards,birds, and a wierd bear/cat on anyone who volunteered. haha.
