This week was great! We did a lot of tracting and
finding. We have some good new potential. I feel like I have taught
lesson 1 so many times. It's true what they say you'll spend half your
mission teaching lesson 1 and the other have is all the other lessons. I
really enjoy though sharing the message of the restoration. It brings
such a spirit when you teach it. Our message is unique and it's our job
as missionaries to share it with everyone. I can feel the spirit of the
restoration in the lessons we teach though. This week something that was
cool was we were reading over lesson 1 during our studies and it talks
about what to do if you teach someone who doesn't have that solid
Christian background. Well were like oh we will never use that her in
the Philippines is so Catholic here. That day we were tracting and
across the street from the house we were trying to get in someone was
calling out to us, in English. It was an Indian young man. We went over
to talk to him and he asked us why we were in the Philippines and we
told him we are missionaries teaching people about the gospel of Jesus
Christ and how it was restored. He was like "whats the gospel, can you
come teach me about your message." We smiled and were like yes, yes we
can. It was a cool lesson because is was in English which actually I
found I wasn't used to doing. It took us a second to move our brains
into English teaching. But also that day Heavenly Father prompted us to
study about how to teach someone with a not Christian background. We
ended up being able to use that information that same day. It was a very
cool lesson. He even invited us back to share more. I'm not sure what
will happen, but it just was a testimony builder to me that Heavenly
Father is really setting up the way and preparing us for people.
I
am really glad to be a missionary and have the opportunity to share
this wonderful message all day, everyday. I hope things are going well
at home! Until next week,
