1st off last week we had a FHE with a member super far in the Bukid. We got to cook some food over a campfire and share a lesson and play some games and it was super fun. It started pouring rain while we were there so we got to walk back home for like 2 hours in the rain and of course I forgot my payong(umbrella) so I was soaked.
2nd we had exchanges in Carigara. I was with Elder Lopez who is from Utah and he is super dope. We taught a bunch of lessons and it was good to be back in a Waray Waray area. I like Waray-Waray much more than cebuano.
3rd we had zone conference in Tacloban. It was super fun to be with a bunch of missionaries and to learn from President Argana. He gave a training about a talk from President Monson I think about Faces of Failure and Attitudes of Accomplishments. It was basically that I don't ever need to be discouraged because as long as I give my all the Lord will make up the rest. The conference was supposed to end at lunch time but it ended up going until 5 so we missed our van back to Calubian so our entire zone of elders stayed in the Carigara apartment. It was a pretty good time.
4th we had exchanges in Calubian with the other elders in our district. We found a couple new people so that was good.
Sadly Jhon Rex and Noel didn't come to church last week so we had to push their baptism back a few weeks. They still want to be baptized they have just been busy so we are just encouraging and praying for them.
Also we had a member invite her friend to church. Brother Joel and he is super awesome. We were able to teach him at the Church and it was a super good lesson and the spirit was super strong. He accepted an IBD so that was super awesome.
Pretty busy crazy week but it was super fun.
