I am having such a great time with Elder Brown! he is from Cedar City and we have been great friends since the MTC. It honestly has just been the easiest companionship of all time so far! we have also been setting great goals and kind of started the week a little rough due to trying to get everything figured out and managed.
The new transfer with Elder Brown started when we woke up early to walk Elder Kauffman out to transfer over to the mission office and i got some sharp pain in my abdomen pierce into the soul of my poor American belly. I knew from there that my stomach was toast. I walked back home and still had some time to sleep because it wasnt 630 yet but sadly i had to go to the bathroom because i wasnt comfortable but i prayed that my pain would go and that i wouldnt be stopped from working because of all the goals that i want to make by october. eventually the pain went away and i was happy it was honestly a tender mercy! i thought i for sure had LBMs! that's not fun in the Philippines!
We taught a lesson to an investigator in the other area J___ V______ and we extended a baptismal date to him! he is a good kid and seemed like he wants to know about where the true church is! We also spent some time this week not being able to find things in Elder Brown's area even though he had been there for three months now hahaha. we always talk and laugh though so even if we get loss it is always a good time with us two. we think we might get matching companion ship ties and also mix kool-aid powder in pancakes to see if it's delicious...yeah we are a dangerous combination...i wonder why we were put together. but i can see that some great diligent work will be put in this transfer! Speaking of diligence i have been really trying to focus more my attention with goals that i have made and i have greatly learned this week that it is true that is if we will put great focus in a goal or something that we want, as long as it is a righteous desire, we will receive from our Heavenly Father. I have seen that as I have put more faith in my goal to get more baptisms that i have made that Heavenly Father has been blessing me abundantly. We are now teaching two little compound areas and trying to get more investigators in there because are progressing investigators both live there. K_______ and Sh______ M__ and J____.
Speaking of J____ we had a great lesson with her and it started of weird but we taught her about the Restoration again and really asked her questions and about her experiences in life. we later asked her if she would be baptized and she said yes and i think she really feels that this is truth and i cant wait for her to grow in her testimony!!!
We had the chance to teach another family with the help of a member and we got to teach M__, R___ and Mo______! those three live in the same compound!
I know things were all jumbled around but i am just so happy because with the faith i have been trying to build and also with the will power (still not perfect) Heavenly Father has been blessing me in my righteous desires and i know that he can and will do the same for all of you!
I love you all!
