This
week was good. I wanted to work really hard but everything just felt like it
was in slow motion.. I'm not sure why but we didn't do as good as we could
have.
So
we had our follow-up training this week for Elder Liad's batch. I don't know
why it was a week after he got in the mission but I guess that was what
president wanted. It was good though, I had heard most of the trainings before
haha but it's okay.
Sadly
a lot of our baptisms that we had planned for this July 30 aren't going to
happen because we just found out that their parents are okay with us teaching
them but they don't want them to change religions. It's okay though, and I
realized that I have never baptized a kid unless that family also ended up
getting baptized or was already baptized. I think that is just how it has
worked out for me.
ANYWAY
the baptism this week was awesome! We had 2 again and it was two of the older
sisters from the Hagupar family! And we are trying to get their mom to commit
for this weekend! We had a family home evening at their house yesterday to try
and get them more comfortable with us and the members! I think it was good,
everyone was laughing-I ended up having to sing in front of all of them.. so
yeah
It's
still raining almost everyday! And I gotta hand it to Elder Liad. He doesn't
come from the Bukid he comes from the City and our house is really run down,
it's clean but you only clean so much when the house is just nasty to begin
with. This week our house was a zoo! We woke up and there was a snake on our
counter, once we finally got it out of the house we saw a huge frog.. like HUGE
and i kicked it haha (literally) out of the house. On top of all the animals we
have had problems with electricity and water.. haha I feel bad for him but he's
doing good and it will make him tougher.
SO
MANY BLESSINGS! July is going to be such a great month! I mean it already is!
We have had baptisms the last two weeks and if everything works out we should
have baptisms every week until I go home and hopefully it will keep going once
I leave.
The
area is doing great. Honestly the Branch doesn't really know what they are dong
but they help out where they can and they do what they are told ;) haha
I'm
excited to make this month the best month of my mission!
