Hey
Everyone!
Well I got a new companion this Wednesday! His name is
Elder Sorronda and like my trainer and follow up, he is Bisaya. He is
super nice. Sometimes I feel like I am evil when I am next to him because all
he is is kind! He loves to make American foods, so we have stuff like
mashed potatoes often. I can't complain since food is food! Its
like we were opposite, he learned to make American foods and I learned to make
Filipino foods. We really confuse people when they see me buying FIlipino
foods and him buying American foods hahaha!
Anyways we are doing some
good work here in Naguilian. We have 2 new investigators who literally
attended our District meeting to find us. They weren't able to attend
church since they were both sick but they seem really interested. I also
had an amazing conversation with a less active on Sunday. His name is
Brother Tagaromo and for the past year he has had problems with his work as a
mechanic. I shared with him a scripture in 2 Nephi about how God invites
all people to come to church and repent, no matter what has happened in their
lives. After I shared the scripture we has a good talk about repentance
and keeping the commandments.
He also asked about rich
people. He asked why they lived so easy lives and didn't have any
problems. I tried to explain that even rich people have problems, they
are just different from people who aren't rich. I also explained that it
can be harder for rich people to go to heaven because many are
selfish and do not think of others and are too focused on worldly
possessions. After the talk I felt really good. He said that he
would like to attend church so I am really hopeful that I will see him next
week.
I have not heard conference yet, but I am excited for the opportunity to be able to listen to
the words of the prophet and apostles.
I am just about always going to be
the Senior Companion now. In fact, most of my batch is now training, so I
may follow next cycle but nothing is positive yet. In 2 cycles we are
going to get a new Mission President. It will be interesting to see what
changes here.
Well anyways I don't have much more for this week. I am
continuing to do well here.
I love you all and will talk to you again
soon!
Love,
Elder
