Kumusta po kayo lahat?? That good?
This
week was ROUGH. Seriously, it started out so difficult. Remember Myra? I
sent you a picture of her. She decided not to get baptized. And two of
our other new investigators left us a note that they don't want us to
return. (Because Filipinos don't say no, usually. They usually just hide
from you if they don't want to visit with you.) So this was them being
bold, you know. Then another of our investigators is moving to the
mainland. Plus we had to drop a few because they just weren't
progressing. So, mahirap ang linggo ko. Plus we were so worried about
the our numbers this week because we had Zone Meeting and General
Conference. But listen, the Lord blessed us so much! We did better this
week than we've ever done before! So beautiful.
But listen, this email will be shorter than ever
because I had to type a story for President. Like, I still have tons of
homework here. It's cool, though.
Okay, I've got a great story. Listen up:
We were teaching a lesson to an investigator and it
started raining like CRAZY. The raindrops on the tin roof were SO
INCREDIBLY LOUD. We were literally yelling the lesson to them. Then it
got to the point in the lesson where I felt like I needed to extend a
baptismal commitment to him. BUT, I hestitated because you can't yell a
baptismal invitation at someone. I needed the spirit to be there. I
turned to Sister Hunt and whispered, "Should I do it?" She didn't know
either. Then suddenly, silence. The rain completely stopped. BAM.
Needless to say, Azzley Santos is getting baptized on May 18th. Miracle
of miracles.
CONFERENCE. Oh man, I love conference. We got to
watch it in english. They had both available at our chapel because a lot
of the younger folks here like to listen in english. But I didn't get
to watch the last session because we had a brown out. Sad.
We have a baptism this week! Definitely one for an 8
year old in our recent convert family and sana TATAY DANILO. The one
who quit smoking. But he still needs one more interview with President.
I'll let you know. I'm praying hard over here.
Oh, I have another story! I almost got robbed! We
were walking at night and it was almost curfew so we were hustling when a
man jumped out from behind a fence and tried to grab my bag! But I'm
too quick! I squealed and just started booking it which freaked him out
and he didn't pursue. So don't worry! I'm still safe here! Haha.
Seriously, don't worry.
FOOD THIS WEEK: Ube flavored ice cream. They really
need to bring it to the U.S. It is heaven. Plus this thing that SIster
Reyes made for me. It's like, fried saba, which is a class of saging,
which is banana. Pinakamasarap siya.
That's literally all my time. Go read all the conference talks again. They're all beautiful.
I love you all.
Sister Mecham
