Magandang Hapon po!
Kamusta po sa inyong lahat!
Well, to answer the
barrage of questions about transfers and where I now am, I'm still here in
Mallig because transfers are this week and I still don't know! Haha. But don't
worry, I'll be sure to answer all of those questions next week so you can stop
waiting on one foot and the next. But, yesterday was a great
last Sunday (most likely) here in Mallig. We officially broke the
history in Mallig with the highest church attendance. The record was 81, but
now it is at a whopping 84! We actually thought people were going to have to
start sitting in different rooms and just listen during sacrament instead of
being in the same room (which I guess is really 2 rooms-the kitchen and the
living room). However, with some squishing and rearranging of things, we were
able to squeeze in there. It was rewarding to see so many people we have been
working with come to church, including less actives that I had never met
before. We even had 5 investigators there. Two of the investigators that I have
started teaching my first week here have now felt like they know enough about
the Church to be able exercise their faith and accept a baptismal
commitment next week. Even though I most likely won't be here for their baptism,
that is the reason I like to stay in areas for so long--I get to see people
grow and develop from being new investigators to being baptized and turn into
active church members. It made the day even better when we were actually able
to have a decent meeting with the branch president so I could answer his
questions about what to do with a list of people recommended for callings and
how the Young Women program (seems how I know so much about it.... Haha) is
supposed to be organized. The extra benefits of being a missionary in Mallig.
:)
I was able to get my
shoes resoled so no worries about that. It only cost about 12 bucks to do it,
so its quite a bit cheaper than having to buy and ship new shoes. Even though
they feel about 10lbs heavier with the new sole, they look decent and hopefully
will work well.
The rash looks like
it has gone down a little bit, but it has been a little cooler and rainy these
last few days which has helped. Not that it really matters because there really
isn't anything to do about it anyways...
Well, other than
that, nothing else exciting has happened this week. It's just been another week
of walking, teaching, sweating, and sliding around in mud trying to get
places.
Don't forget who you
are!
Mahal Kita,
Elder Nay
