Another Crazy Week in the Philippines

Boanerges and Omkar
this week was good. we continued to teach Boan and Omkar. brother boan is super smart and knows the bible back and forth. haha. he has started to read the BOM. he has a ton of questions about nearly every verse. haha he compares it all to the bible. haha. sometimes as we are teaching he will tell us he has a question then teach us for 3 min about a story in the bible and ask how it applies or fits with a story in the BOM. haha.  for instance once nephi says to his brethren "and surely moses spake unto the waters..." but he compared it to the bible wich never says that moses spoke unto the water. haha. we are trying to get  him to rely more on praying about the BOM and seeking the Holy Ghost rather than trying to prove it through evidences. haha.

Abang
this week we also started teaching the Abang family and prince again. they were our investigators before but we refferred them to the sister missionaries in our branch because they live closer. but they never went to teach them so they gave them back to us. the Abang family as well as prince, if you remember, almost got baptised. bro. abbang just had to stop smoking. and we just needed to finish teaching prince all the lessons. so we are still working toward preparing them for baptism.

Baclas and Old Ladies

this week we also had a crazy week with baclas and old ladies haha!! we were finding and we met an old nanay and a group of middle aged men. because they were drinking we told them we would just come back at another time. as E.Hoopes was shaking the old ladies hand she pulled him in and gave him a kiss on the cheek! hahaha!!! then later that day we met 2 Baclas(gays) both about 30-40y. we also told them we would share the next time around because i don't feel comfortable teaching baclas without a fellowshiper. as we were trying to go one tried to hug us! yuck! we are definitly staying away from that area for a long time!!!! haha.
