Magandang Hapon!
I decided that my emails are kind of sounding like journal entries or something, so I'll try to only update the highlights. I'll try to keep my emails shorter. Haha, sorry!
Anyway, the first thing that happened was on Wednesday. We were teaching an investigator about the Law of Chastity, and I accidentally messed up in Tagalog. We were talking about our thoughts and "malinis na mga isip" is clean thoughts, but I said "malinis na mga ipis" which means clean cockroaches... But he understand what I meant and after we made fun of me, everything else went well. Haha.
Thursday was my first Zone Training which was good and our Zone leaders are awesome. They really stressed 3 Ne 18:21 and Alma 18 which are awesome, and I highly encourage you to read them.
On Saturday our District Leader interviewed our baptismal candidate. Unfortunately he couldn't pass him, but after Stake Conference on Sunday the mission president interviewed with him and he's clear to be baptized on Saturday! I'm pretty stoked for that and he is an awesome guy. Also, we went to Marcos and I've never sweat so much in my life. It's flipping hot here and the humidity is crazy, but it's good.
Oh yeah, another thing: Stake Conference was really inspiring to me because the stake center is really far away, but the members are excited and willing to go anyway. The entire jeepny on the way was full of members of our ward, our investigators and us. It was so cool, and they're faithfulness was a huge example.
So basically, that's it, other than the kids yelling "up here!" and chasing us down the street. Haha, they're pretty fun. But yeah, keep me updated! Mahal ko kayo!
