Well, this week went by like a sneeze. It like came, and I saw it coming but then like I closed my eyes and it was done before I knew it. Similar to a sneeze. That was a stupid analogy.
This week went by way quick. We had exchanges with the AP's which was good. A good chance to learn to teach better. It was great.
We got to do a little missionary presentation in our ward on Sunday that went great! It was a fun little time sharing to the ward. This ward I am in right now is excellent. Really great priesthood and leadership from all auxiliaries. Anyways we were supposed to have 2 baptisms this week but they got moved back which is totally ok. It gives more time to prepare and an opportunity to get more people to the baptism. This means in the next few weeks 3 of our true friends will be baptized. Man oh man, they are ready too. The only sad part is that I am getting emergency transferred tomorrow morning. (Ibig sabihin magpapack ako ulit!! Grabe! ) I got a call from president that let me know I'm transferring a week early. Oh man!! That means i won't get to see those people enter the font. But hey, that's all good cause what matters is that they get baptized and continue to follow Christs gospel. Also, a cool thing in our mission is we can message on FB our recent converts so I will still have communication with them!
So some of the highlights of this last week was having some great days of work that were super productive and a fun thing me and Elder Faletoi did was buy laser pointers on the street for like 15 pesos and that is about the same as 30 cents in the US- haha. we bought them and played with kids and with dogs and with cats every night hahaha. It's way funny to see- haha. Other highlights is I got to deep scrub the house before I leave. ("Leave no trace".) Should be a great new adventure and such going over to Valenzuela.
I'll share a cool experience. God really humbled me. Really touched me Friday night. So we had been punted from 2 appointments and had about an hour left before we needed to go home. So we went to this part of our area we have never been to plan to find members or tract. So we go there and pull out the phone. We had no idea where to go or what to do. I had felt kind of defeated that day too. (Never that defeated cause each day is a great day) but I was kind of ready to go home honestly. Just tired. Anyways I look to Faletoi and say "what should we do? I got no idea." He says the same thing to me...and right at that moment we hear a voice and see a light and turn around and this cute old couple and their daughter and her kids are all standing at the door behind us and they are in awe. Like awestruck. This little old Nanay is like bamboozled and so we smile big and realize instantly this was from god. I tell Faletoi "and that's how God just humbled us. Let go share the message" this family was so nice and welcomed us in and we taught a great small lesson on families and the church of Jesus Christ and why they are important. They loved it and said we could come back and teach all of them as a family. Cause the little girls went into a room and hid haha they were just giggling the whole time. It's not every day that two big old dudes all dressed up come stand outside your house. (Me and Faletoi are both over 6 ft and over 200 lbs haha so we sometimes stand out) the funniest part of this was that the nanay was just looking at me like I was a million bucks haha made me feel good to see her have the biggest smile on her face! Anyways. It was great and I hope they progress down the path! I sure love this gospel. I'm thankful that its all made possible because of Jesus Christ. He really is the center because if he wasn't, then none of it would work. I am eternally thankful to my brother and savior Jesus Christ.
Been a good week yall. I hope you all have a great great week and do a small act of kindness every day. That's my challenge. Make it a great week everyone. Talk soon.
