This was an all-star week, mainly because the Mabbun family was
baptized. They were prepared by the Lord, not by the missionaries,
for the gospel. I feel so blessed to have been part of their
conversion. When Brother Mabbun shared his testimony with the
branch, he related how there were so many "dakes" things
in their life before we met them. "Dakes" is Ilocano for
"bad" and "ugly." He said that the gospel
erased their problems and made their home a peaceful place.
It has been raining a lot here. When we were leaving the
apartment one day, it was drizzling outside. I asked my companion
if she would like to walk or take a tricy, but she returned the
question. We decided to walk in the end and about 15 steps from our
apartment, it poured. It was raining oceans, we got soaked, and we
taught some wet lessons. Nothing like being soaked to the bone.
People always ask us when we are out and soaked in the rain,
"Are you going home now?" We always say, "No! We
are missionaries!" They seen to be satisfied with that
response and they get to better understand that the work of the Lord
never stops.
We have been working closely with the district president here the
last few weeks. He just "loves" my Tagalog (not true),
but he insists that I sound like Chris Aquino. I do not know who
Chris Aquino is, so you better look her up and tell me if the
district president is honest.
I love you all. Send some chocolate. XOXOXOXO
