Week 62

Hello po! This past week was long. We had exchanges on tuesday which seems like weeks ago. But it was just like a week ago. Crazy. While on exchanges we tracted this family. Who are like super super interested. But it's been hard getting back with them as a complete family. But we are trying! On saturday we got to teach Estel, she is a great investigator who has come to church for 3 weeks now. But she is only 12 years old (which I realized that Jacob is 12 the other day... but Estel seems really mature. And I think of Jacob as like 4 years old still...) so we are trying to really teach her father. He has always been busy every time we went until saturday! We taught him! And it was great! He even said closing prayer! And committed to church on sunday. And sure enough! Yesterday we walk into church and Tatay and Estel are there! It was so happy! Then right as I am talking to them and saying hi the first counselor in the Branch Presidency comes up to me. And tells me I am speaking. Oh the joys of a small branch. Missionaries speak almost every week and its always by surprise. It's a miracle I've made it this many weeks without talking. So I talked about the Book of Mormon. This past saturday I finished reading the Book of Mormon for the 4th time here. And my testimony of the Savior has grown so much. I really really love the Book of Mormon and learn so much from it. And I encouraged all the members (and all of you ) to read it daily. Because when we are reading the words of Christ we will receive strength to live this gospel and to share it with others. I hope you are all doing good! Namimiss ko kayo!
