Kumusta ka? Well this week was fantastic! The highlight has
definitely been working with my hijita. Her name is Hermana Macaballug and is
from Quezon City in the Philippines. She basically came pre trained...which has
made my life a lot easier. She is trying to teach me Tagalog but I'm not having
much luck.
This week was so much fun. Hermana M makes me laugh tons and
it has also been really fun to think back to the beginning of my mission and
think about far I've come as a person and missionary.
We got here on Thursday morning and I could tell Hermana M
was super tired. She took a nap in the afternoon, but on Friday was just as
tired. We went to an investgators to teach a lesson and when I finished saying
the prayer we all looked up (me, Andrea, and the member that was with us) and
Hermana M was zonked. We couldn't get her to wake up and she was snooring the whole
time. So Hermana Paola helped me teach the lesson while she got a little
afternoon nap in.
It has been super cool to see how real the gift of tongues
is. I have seen it in my life but I'm seeing it in her life as well. She
understands really well and can always find the way to get her point across and
isn't scared to talk. She jumps right in during lessons. The best part though is
seeing how real speaking the spiritual language is thought. She may not recite
the 1st vision perfectly or explain super well the concepts but the spirit is
always there and we have found super receptive people lately. I'm so grateful to
have her as my comp these last few weeks.
The highlight of the week was Ignacios baptism! On Tuesday
night while I was traveling to Antofa, bishop called me and told me he had
interviewed Maurucio and that he was worthy to baptize Ignacio. So Mauricio was
able to baptize his brother and it was so cool seeing how in the process of
reactivateing someone we were able to baptize! Yesterday was Ignacios birthday
and he receive the best birthday present ever! THE HOLY GHOST! and THE
PRIESTHOOD! And as Maricio blessed the sacarament I couldn't help but get all
teary eyed and feel so grateful that God had used me to help 2 brothers
progress together in the gospel.
Anyways, I love you all so much and hope you have a very
happy halloween. It's just another normal day here which is weird...till next
week!
