Also, happy birthday kay Riggin!!! I can't believe he is already 2 years old.
Well, this week has been just a rollercoaster of emotions and things happening.
Monday
we had a great p-day. We went to the chruch and played
volleyball/soccer and then it started to pour rain. but We kinda just
kept playing. It felt so good to do something other than walking.. (:
then we had planned another FHE with the boys in brgy 5.. but nothing
seemed to be working out... So right before we walked all over sipalay
looking for someone to drive... it is a lot harder than you might think.
there is only 2 people in our branch with cars... and only one lives in
our area... So anyways, god prepares people in crazy ways to accomplish
his purposes... because earlier that day we saw President Victoria as
we were walking to a little island.. and we told him, then when we found
him. it was a no hesitation yes even though he was still selling his
fish and stuff at the market. Such a blessing.
We
got to the church and President Ramirez had set up a little mini movie
theater for the movie. We planned to watch the Joseph Smith, prophet of
the restoration movie. Galing.. its all in english and all the boys just
could not understand. But they had so many questions about joseph smith
and we just felt so impressed that they needed to see that movie... so I
took one side, and My companion took the other side, and we translated
the WHOLE movie into Ilonggo for them. While explaining the back ground
and everything. I remember sitting back for a second to catch my breath
and I remember just being overwhelmed by the spirit. Only Missionaries
could do this. And only by the spirit can missionaries do it.
The spirit in the room was so strong. And The boys understood everything. It was just so amazing!
One
of them was baptized this past saturday... supposed to be all 14 of
them. but they are having the hardest time stopping their word of wisdom
problems... I would love any advice on how I Could help them. They have
such great desire, but it is just so hard for them to stop.
Yesterday,
they actually came with us after church to BRGY 4, which is like a 1
hour hike in the mountain to find an OYM. We got there and he just
wanted to bible bash us, and afterwards Sunny, one of the boys, told us
that he didn't feel the spirit and that he felt bad for the man cause he
didn't know what he was missing. How amazing.. and then they hiked abck
with us and stayed with us to teach more of our investigators. They
want to be missionaries so bad!!! Just that darn word of wisdom.
The work is hard. But it is good. Satan is trying hard to stop the work, but nothing can stop the work of the Lord.
Have a great week!
Love, Your sister missionary,
Sister Young
