Week 66

Hello! This past week has been great! I got my new companion! Sister Sorenson, from Wyoming! She has been here for a year now so she is great and its been so much fun this past week. We went to BYU the same year together and so we have a lot in common. Its fun. We had a great week too. We did a lot of finding (like always) and had some pretty funny stories. We had a new investigator come to church! We had picked her up because she was shy to show up alone but she loved it. And brought her little kids. She will be back next week too! I love seeing people so interested in the church. The Alpapara family is doing great and will be baptized soon :)! Umm oh ha. We had NO ONE at church yesterday. The attendance went from 180ish last week to 81 this past sunday. It is because it rained like so hard for so long. We woke upsaturday morning to rain, and it didn't stop all day. Then the next morning on sunday its still raining, and there is no electricity. SO yeah NO ONE went to church. OH how we need to strengthen the members here.... Kayang kaya! Siyang (too bad) for them because there was a great talk. This Brother spoke and read from 1 Nephi chapter 3. And people always focus on verse 7 right? He talked about verse 5. it says 

 5 And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thingwhich I have required of them; but behold I have not required it ofthem, but it is a commandment of the Lord.

so yeah like we shouldn't be murmuring because of commandments! i liked how my companion put it- like we have commandments to help us! when we complain about following like we are making it harder for the lord to bless us. i encourage you all to continue to read the chapter and see the greatness Nephi does because of his willing heart. I hope you are all doing good! I am happy so yeah! Ha! Mahal ko kayo!
