maupay nga hapon!!
so another busy busy week. and i don't have much time, so i'll try my best to catch you up on things. so this last week, we had like no time to work in my area because we were in like every other area of our zone. and my area is the farthest area IN our zone. so tuesday we had companion exchanges (splits) in Catarman, and it was a low pressure area so it rained and rained, and rained some more!! we were soaked! some of the roads turned into rivers! and there were some floods too. and we couldn't use a payong (umbrella) because it was too windy and would just break it! so yeah, it was nice getting all wet, and from that, i've gotten sick (probably from the lack of sleep too) i've just had a cough. but im good now. so fun experience.
so then our stake had a "little MTC" and they asked us to teach the ward/branch missionaries the lessons. so that was a neat experience, and from that, there will be so many future missionaries! and then we were JUST about to go back to the area, and then the sisters in our zone called and said that their apartment is haunted!! so we went all the way back to their area and dedicated their apartment, and they still didn't feel safe, come to find out, some one had died in that house, and its right next to the cemetery. so they ended us getting a priesthood blessing and they feel better now, but they're looking for a new apartment now. so our week was just super busy! with all this and baptismal interviews. and we had like no lessons in our area. i think the hard thing for me is not getting down for not teaching people. cuz we're doing things that have to be done, but we just don't get lots of time to teach. but when we do get time, i love it!
so one of our investigators, Sampayan family, they are the owners of our apartment. and we taught them the message of the Restoration, and it was an awesome lesson! the spirit was so strong,and they were really attentive. and they came to church yesterday! so it was fast and testimony meeting, and the 1st councilor of the stake presidency was bearing his testimony and he testified about families, and about how families can be forever! and when he said, i felt the spirit and i looked at sister sampayan and she was crying! so i know she felt the spirit, and she loved the whole 3 hours of church! she said that she will come to church again next week cuz she loved it so much! so im pretty sure she is getting baptized! i hope! so thats whats going on with our investigators. well i love you all! and thank you so much for all you do! i love Luke ch 13,14! i suggest reading it!
love you!
love, Elder Nelson
