Magandang araw sa
inyo!
Kamusta!
It has been yet
another week of us taking showers in the rain outside as we walk. Even though
we have umbrellas, everything from the waist down gets soaking wet. I think it
rained literally every afternoon last week. It always starts out hot and no
clouds around lunch, then we hear the thunder rolling in. I just keep all of my
stuff in a plastic bag now to keep from getting wet. And of course with every
rainstorm comes a brownout! I don't think I've experienced this many brownouts
since Mallig. It will be weird going home and not ever experiencing a brown
out.
It is also the time
of year where there are many fruits everywhere, so we have been pounding down
the fresh pineapple like nobody's business. The pineapple here is so sweet and
juicy, I can eat a whole thing in one sitting.
We have been busy
teaching our new investigators and preparing them to commit to baptism. One of
them is 18 yrs old and progressing really well, and even planning on attending
the district YSA activity this week. It is nice to have an investigator that is
progressing and missionary age. I was super excited last transfer day when I
saw someone I baptized in Cabagan because he was waiting for his mission call
and wanted to serve as a part time missionary while he waited. He has a pretty
crazy story to tell because he was kicked out by his parents when he told them
he was going to serve a mission.
It is interesting
teaching all of these new investigators and asking them a simple question after
finding out they have done our commitment-How did you feel as you prayed? All
of them say it was something different, saying it made them feel happy or
peaceful. That is when I teach them the fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5 and
help them realize that what they feel that is "different" is the
spirit working on them, and it would be impossible for them to feel that if it
wasn't true. Feeling the spirit is something we are all entitled to, as long as
we allow it.
Well, thanks for all
you do and ingat kayo palagi!
Mahal ko kayo,
Elder Nay
