how are all of you doing? Today has been a great day. We went down to tagaytay and did the coolest thing ever. We did a foot spa,, however it wasnt your normal foot spa... It was a FISH foot spa. So you sit over a fish tank and then put your feet in the tank and all the fish come and eat the dead skin off your feet. It was the funniest thing ever. At first its super ticklish but after awhile you get used to it and its just super cool. It is almost like leeches but its not sucking your blood hahahaha
Me and my companion are doing really well. Elder Calmacio has been a member only 2 years and has a really strong desire to share the gospel. Elder Calmacios mother was baptized back in the 1980s but went less active super quickly. The missionaries found his family was found by the missionaries in 2009 and they pushed them away until 2016. They finally sat down and listened fully to the discussions. Him and his 3 sisters were baptized. Now everyone in his family is a member except his father. His oldest sister just got married in the temple 2 weeks ago to a return missionary. His other two sisters plan on serving missions in the future as well. His family is awesome.
This past week we had a really cool experience with a new investigator. We started talking to a nanay on the side of the road and she quickly pushed us away but pointed us to a different nanay to go and talk to. So we went and started talking to this other nanay and it was almost a joke the things this nanay started telling us. I thought it was too good to be true. But this nanay shared her story to us how one of her friends gave her a book of Mormon about 5 years ago now. She wasnt told where the church was or anything. She was just given a book of Mormon. Well she continued to tell us how when she has hard times in her life or she has problems and she doesn't know how to solve them she opens up the book of Mormon and she always finds an answer or comfort. We were able to testify to her of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon right there on the spot and teach her a lesson. Its truly amazing the people the Lord has prepared for us. We just gotta go find them!
In other news May and Jane are both getting baptized this coming saturday! They dont live at home right now so we had to go talk to their mom to make sure its okay with her for them to be baptized and she was beyond nice to us and accepted the invitation to hear the discussions as well. Unfortunately it wasnt our area but we were able to refer her to the correct elders.
Life is great in Tanza... Lots and lots of work to do! Love you all lots!
