Family,
It's been another good
week here in the Philippines. This week, we've been doing a lot of work
using the MLS/ ward directory thing. There are a lot of people on our ward's
directory that haven't been to church in a really long time that we don't even
know, and there are a lot of incomplete addresses and a lot of incomplete
information on it. We have not had the most success finding those people, but
we have been able to get it organized better and have found an investigator
using it. It has been a very effective way of starting conversations with
people. We just ask around for people we don't know on the list and then
introduce ourselves as missionaries. We found one new person this week using
it. He is super nice and willing to listen. He is
catholic, has some pretty unique hair and long fingernails. He hasn't really
opened up to us too much yet, but I think he will in our next few visits.
We are still super
excited for a few baptisms that are coming up on the 27th. The one investigator
that was going to get baptized this week is going to get baptized on the 27th
now.
Things are still going
really well, just kind of same old, same old. I think one of the most exciting
things was walking to one of our far areas during the tropical storm. We were
right along a stream for a good twenty minutes. We were just praying during all
of our lessons that it wouldn't overflow, because the only other path out of
there is a really far walk and could have been flooded too. Everything went
smoothly though, even though we did get really wet.
Alam ko na totoo yung
simbahan natin. and na mahal tayo ng Diyos. Alam ko na possible yung mga himala
kung manampalataya tayo sa kanya.
Love you tons!
Elder Benjamin Merrill
