so to start off i was really missing mom yesterday during sacrament. it was the primary program, it was awesome! all 5 of them had 2 parts completely memorized and it was amazing! i almost cried, but whatever.
(In our church we have have responsibilities, or "callings". Mine is to teach the primary age kids 3-12 singing time. We work an a set of songs during the year and then perform a program for the congregation in the fall. )
so this week was fun, we had district meeting in abuyog and then rushed back for an appointment in rawis. it was really good. we taught the restoration and are going back this week too. we found lots of new investigators because for the month of october our zone has a goal of 20 and we planned for 7 a week. we need 7 more and it seems to be good because the more people you have the lower the chance of having nothing to do but talk to people. but in all the high lights came when we were with members. they are wanting to work with us now and we told the A.P.s (AP is assistant to the president, referring to the mission president) one of them used to be here in dulag when the attendance was 60 and he knows what happened. so he was kinda surprised when we told him they were working with us. so i guess we are doing something right. but I'm kinda scared aright now, the ap was talking to me about being ready to train next transfer! i was like i don't know this language well enough yet. although, i have had other missionaries tell me my language is good and i had an investigator feed us who said my accent is really good too. yay! i was told that's important in the mtc.
so i started reading the Warry Warry libro ni mormon (Book of Mormon) to help with my vocab and pronunciation because i was told when we finish the BofM in our language we will be fluent, so hopefully by christmas. we had interviews this week my first one it was cool. president seems to be happy with our work in dulag and he keeps telling me he understands the hardships we are going through. but of course i don't know any different so its just missionary work for now.
we went to teach lorena and stephanie the other day and stephanie is now shy of us she wont talk to us so we just taught lorena. she really wants to be baptised but cant read so we set up scripture study appointments with her and hopefully with in a few weeks she will be ready. so then sunday we had the primary program and an attendance of 37, yay! maguswag kami (no idea) then we had 3 members work with us after church. one works with us all the time, one always works and the other normally has school. but they all were free and on the same day, darn. but thats ok the one sister, sister jessa (in our church we call people "brother" and "sister" and then their last name) she is a college student is going to work with us friday. she is awesome! she knows everything about the gospel and has scriptures to go along with it. i hope she can work with us more later too. but we visited lorena and another lady named veronica, she would be a member already but she doesn't have a birth certificate so she cant get married. darn! but they are saving. she invited one of her friends to join but she is to shy. she got up and left after the prayer, lol, it was kinda weird. then we went and found a guy we met with the brach president on saturday. he is diabetic and he was going to get baptised about 10 years ago but he was a policemen and got reassigned and missed his own baptism. so that'll be fun, he is in a wheel chair and only has one leg, but we are excited to teach him. we also went to go see some inactives (this refers to people thta have been baptized members, but don't attend Sunday meetings) with the branch president. and turns out its normal for the members to listen to Jehovah's Witness. but its kinda funny they just like learning about the Bible from them. but the other missionaries don't know that, lol.
but ya so fun week! i made a shirt last p day that's red and in white writing it says bawal umihi dito its tagalog for don't pee here, like sister who I've forgot her name in our ward, whose sons name is von. but she said she wanted one when she was in manila for her mission. but everyone laughs when they see it, and the guy that made it for me said he might start selling them to people. well that's really all for this week but cant wait nov 12 is the end of my 2nd transfer and i don't think I'm going anywhere for a while but its all up to the lord. well i love you all
We got a second short email that said: oh and i remembered its barfeild -refferring to the name he couldn't remember.
