on wednesday last week i got to go to the temple! It was awesome being able to go and feel the spirit! i got to go again today and i absolutely loved it! the whole day was sad with all of the leaders gone and people leaving! but its okay cuz on thursday we finally went out of the mtc!!!
Thursday was our day to see missionary work in reality to the fullest degree! and let me tell you...IT WAS THE BEST! i love proselyting! i dont even know tagalog that well and i loved every secodn. i had an awesome filipino kasama who was still in training taking me around. he was from canada and was just the nicest guy. his kasama had taken two appts i think it was when they went out, so we had one possible appt. and so we were banking on that one and he decided to show me around and we will knock doors and oym (open your mouth).
We got on a jeepini and it was so small with room! they just pile people in this tiny car and i tried talking with people in the car and they talk so fast and quiet! it was crazy! i could barely understand but i still tried to talk to people the best i could!
we went over to the squatters area where houses are cramped everywhere and to get to house to house we have to cram through tiny areas and i had to duck at points! we went knocking on doors and got rejected or people werent there, but we also did get another appt and new investigator that couldnt meet right then and there so that was good! but as we were going around we were talking to little kids and they are so cute and they just absolutely love missionaries! i loved talking to them but i could barely say anyhting in tagalog but i tried and its just funny how much better they are at tagalog than me but i guess its not cux they are filipino but my vocabulary just doesnt compare!
As we were knocking we almost went past this house but my tmeporary kasama had a prompting to go and knock on the door and we did and it was awesome we got investigators! they were so receptive to the lesson and to what we taught and we gave them a book of mormon... so hoepfully the read it up!
The lesson started off with getting to know them a bit and then i started us off. i ddint say too much but i tried to teach about how god is our loving heavely father, the gospel blessses families and then i lead the lesson into prophets where my kasama took over and gave a fantastic lesson. they way he would communicate with the people was awesome! he really does have so much love! at the end of the lesson i bore my testimony and it was difficult but i tried my best to share our message with them.
the spirit was strong in there and it was an awesome experience! i was so sad to have to leave! i DID NOT want to have toback to the mtc! i wanted to just teach everyone even though there wasnt much i could say! but just goes to show that doing the lords work truly brings happiness!
I love you all so much! i cannot wait to hear from all of you! missionary work is awesome!
sorry no picss!
