Hey everyone! This week wasn't too bad. We kept ourselves pretty busy with service and stuff. Last Wednesday, a lot of the priesthood got together (even a few less active members) and took a hike up into the mountains to cut down some bamboo and other wood to rebuild the house that I mentioned last week. It took most of our day up, but ended up being a great chance for everyone to fellowship each other and provide service for a family that really needed it. It turned out to be super successful, because the family that we cut all the wood for came to church on Sunday! I haven't seen some of them at church since I've gotten to the area, so that's great news for them. We also did some more service on Saturday for another family whose house got trashed by the typhoon. They were all super grateful, and we had a good time doing it. After the service we got to attend a baptism for some investigators I interviewed a couple weeks ago, and they were both super happy. I was really excited for them. We finally have power again also in most of our area, so we are pretty much back to the regular schedule now, no more curfew. It's great because that was a huge limitation. Most fathers weren't getting home until around our curfew time, and we can't go into houses without any males, so we should start to pick up work again soon. This next week should be a little bit better, and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks and I hope you're all doin great!
