Ya hoo!! We didn't have a very successful day that day, but Funny sorry... We were at one of our recent convert's and the daughter was looking at pictures and telling us what they were... and then my companion pointed at me and asked her who I was.. and she said, "Jesus Christ." hahah. I guess I really am a representative of Him... Really, though, It taught me a very good lesson. Sometimes, Just somtimes, I forget who I am and who I represent. It is one of my goals to always reflect the Savior, and to have people see Him in my countenance. Maybe I really was reflecting Him... or maybe she was just confused because I am so shinny white, I don't know. But, I do know that I want everyone to say that about me.
On Thursday we had Mission Presidents Training. We
learned how to better teach the Commandments in lesson4 of Preach My
Gospel. It was such a good boost. We also had ice cream... which is
always a bonus. (:
Later that day we went to one of my favorite areas.
Aidsisaw. We have a lot of great investigators there! And remember me
talking about how my companion ate a Manok tiil.. or chicken foot?
Yeah
well guess who ate one, too? Yeah, ME!!! Go me! It was sooooo gross. I
never want to eat another one again. There are like the nail and bones
and cartalage... i don't know how to spell that and skin. and you just
eat it all. It was EW!!! I took pictures. They look gross... on purpose
cause it was gross. But now I can check that off my list of things to be
done only in the PHilippines!
If I were to give any of you advise, I would say don't eat it.
Yesterday
at church we had 9 less actives come to church!!! It was so great to
see our hard work pay off. Now if only we could get some of our
investigators to church.... thats the trick! But, I figure that if we
get the less actives active again then our investigators will have
people to bring them to chruch and sit by them and be their friends...
right?
I am so thankful for the scriptures. Yesterday in
church one of the speakers talked on how the trials and problems that
are talked about in the book of mormon are the same trials and problems
that we are having here. He also said that the book of mormon lays out
the solution to their problems, so it also lays out the path of solution
for the problems of today. IF we appy what we learn to our lives. It
was so inspired!
It is true that the book of mormon answers all of
our questions. Through the words and also through personal revelation.
That is why it is so important to prayerfully read the book of mormon
and then PONDER, That is often a step that is looked over, and that is
when magbaton kita sang sabat. I am so much thankful for the
scriptures.
Well, That is all for this week. I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week! You are all in my prayers!
Love, Your sister missionary,
Sister Young
