Well my subject line has absolutely nothing to do with my letter i just made it something that will catch all of your attention. This week has been good and things are getting more and more enjoyable daily. SO that is good.
This weekend we had general conference which oh my. There was a miscommunication with the ZLs so it turns out we got to go to all the sessions. So saturday morning we got up and traveled to Bacoor which is close but because we are in the philippines it takes 90 minutes on a good day. Saturday we had priesthood and both saturday sessions back to back to back. SO that was brutal. Six hours sitting in the chapel however it was really good. Definitely the best general conference ive ever watched and i think that is because I am a missionary now. However it was incredible. Saturday night we went and got BBQ for dinner. I got some mystery meat that I honestly had no idea what it was until my companion told me... Yeah I had a ton of pig ear. Turns out it wasnt too bad but once i found out what it was man i felt sick to my stomach. Yuck.
This week weve been focusing a lot of three different investigators a lot. Kenneth. We have been teaching him a lot and we extended the baptismal invitation to him and he said he needed more time which is okay. But when we were leaving Joanne the member that works with us and is good friends with him told us he has a crush on a girl so that is a big thumbs up and we were quite happy to hear that.
Rico and Family. They own a print shop. Basically like a little staples. And we have been teaching him and they are really interested. We will see where that goes but RIco is sweet. Younger guy and its lots of fun.
Edward Devira. Man hes a tough one. His whole family is members. His wife is a member. He has been going to church for 6 years. Believes everything and anything we teach him but is "Looking for a sign." But since Elder Tanner has been here they havent invited him to baptism so taht is coming soon. Please pray for him. Weve been praying and fasting for him tons. He does business in America, actually in Gresham OR and is very intelligent. Like he knows a ton and makes bank but we will binyag (baptize) him.
Now random funny weird stories and facts:
- Elder Tanner got a football sent to him and man we go hard. We run routes and everything. Everyone comes and plays with us and its a lot of fum
- I am learning to solve a Rubic Cube and I am getting good. I can do it in under 2 minutes so there is lots of improvment coming but watch out. Im addicted lol
- The other day i was climbing up to bed. (bunk beds im on top) and i put my foot on the second step and bam there it went and tumbling went Elder Sackley. Wood splinters everywhere, broke 3 screws and bent 2 nails so now i have to run and jump up into bed
- Now from that last one you may think im fat but since ive been in the legit field I have lost 7 pounds and since ive left home ive lost 15 so im skinny. idk how because i eat so much food its insane but im dropping fast
thank you for all the support and prayers. It really means a lot and i miss and love you all!!
