Magandang Hapon!
Kumusta!
Well, it has been yet another week of being able to
witness small miracles. We attended the baptism of the Sisters in Burgos, in
which we were able to feel the testimony that this new convert has gained. Even
though it started rather late because people weren't there on time, it still
went rather smoothly and had the great addition of prelude music on the piano
(an accommodation that is hard to come by at baptisms here) to help
invite the spirit. On the same day, we also traveled to Mabini so I could
conduct a baptismal interview for a kid being baptized next week. Id apply them
before other people do, but piece by piece, testimonies are formed to a big
solid piece.
President and Sister Carlos also attended Sacrament
meeting with us in Gamu on Sunday, which is always a pleasure to hear them
talk. It was kind of funny to see the reaction of all the members when he
walked in seems how usually they only see him at district conferences or
interviews or other big meetings-never in a sacrament meeting. Sister Carlos
gave an interesting talk about how to "scatter our sunshine", or do
acts of service. always love to see other people being converted as they
feel and gain their own testimony piece by piece. Testimonies are just like a
big puzzle-some people will gain testimonies of certain principles an to
cheer up others.
I also ended up staying in Catabban for 2 days while on
splits. It was only supposed to be one day, but seems how Elder Villania had to
be rushed to a dentist in a southern part of the mission because of severe
tooth pain, I ended up staying 2 days. While there, there was a really strong
and cool storm that came through. We were trying to teach a lesson, but
eventually just had to call it quits after the rain being so loud on the roof
we couldn't even hear each other. There was also some really powerful winds
that came through, which destroyed a lot of little huts meant for drying
tobacco plants and even flattened some corn and rice fields. Pretty fun to
watch. :)
That is way fun to see that much growth in the missionary
work-and how lucky you are to be able to participate and train them!
Very exciting to know that shortly after getting home, I
will have a new nephew. Congrats to Kyle and Aimee!
And mom, just like I told you a while ago, I really don't
need nor want very much stuff in my next package and would much rather put that
money towards other things when I get home.... But, of course, I wouldn't
complain if I had some eggnog and cashews. :) Also another bottle or 2 of drugs
to last until I get home.
Maligayang paglakbay sa Cambodia!
Mahal ko kayo,
Elder Nay
