English Class!

Well another week has gone by super fast! It was another pretty good week. We had a lot of luck working with some referrals this week, so that was really cool. We even gave a baptismal date to two new investigators in our second lesson and they seemed pretty excited. They both listen very well, so hopefully it will all work out!

We also had some really cool experiences with Angelo. We've only been teaching him for about 3 weeks now, but he has decided that the church is true and is wanting to be baptized. he just says that he isn't yet ready, because he is still feeling bad about past sins. So we taught him the Atonement and repentance and hopefully he will keep working his way towards getting prepared for baptism. We also found out he has a problem with the word of wisdom, so we have to work with him on getting that settled before he can be baptized! But it all looks like it will turn out very well.

Sadly we had to move a couple baptismal dates this week. Here in the Philippines when it rains on Sundays sacrament meeting attendance takes a huge dive. So because a couple of investigators didn't show up, we ended up having to change their dates to another time. We hope we will get to visit them this week and work everything out though.

We also had a really fun service project this week. A couple of our members work in gold mining outside of Paracale so we went to where they are living to help them clean up their house and everything. We had to take a boat to get there and then walk through some rice fields, but it was way beautiful. And I got to climb some more coconut trees and have some fresh buko. Then they killed a chicken and used the coconut to make lunch for us. So that was all pretty fun. It ended up taking up most of our day though so our work was kind of shot for the day. 

Nothing else too exciting happened this week, but we are finally getting things rolling on starting our English Class. Hopefully next week! Well I love you all and can't wait to hear again from you next week!
