Monday was really fun and we spent part of our pday at the bowling alley which was really cool! I started off pretty horrible, but i got pretty good after a bit. After that we didnt do much until we went and taught Nita and Bonifacio. FINALLY we were able to move onto a new lesson and topic. We have been spent the last lessons trying to teach but ending trying to answer all of his questions and concerns which was not solving anything but we were able to share about the Plan of Salvation and it turned out really well, but there is still more we need to teach them so we set a return appointment.
Tuesday we had interviews which was really fun but we have so many members in our zone so they took a long time.
Wednesday I had the wonderful opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder Walburger who is just about to finish his training soon and he was so much fun to work with! He had me laughing the whole time! I was cracking up! He had so much confidence in talking to other people even with his broken tagalog that they didnt even care and just liked talking to him and hearing him talk!
We first got punted from our appointment so we decided that we would go finding and try to get into someones house to teach a lesson...i mean who DOESN'T want two Americans storming into their house speaking tagalog with the biggest smiles on their face?! So we started going around but for some reason, i could just not feel that i was where i should be and i remembered the Rico family so i told him that we go near their house and find. So we trecked on over there and started finding and i started going down one way and just felt the constraining powers of the Spirit telling me to get out of there! So i turned around and at this point he is probably feeling like "will we ever stop walking?!" (E. walburger). Then as we are walking back we stop and see this one family and i get the impression to stop and turn around, so i have Elder Walburger start talking to them. Long story short they are not who we needed to visit BUT we got out of the house and talked to this girl Lyka who walked in on the lesson and the left soon after and she was very interested and we had a great lesson with her about families and the gospel. And she talked about how she wants a strong family because hers is broken. She is 18 and has a kid but no husband and lives alone with her older brother. We shared the message with such happiness and we knew that she felt good too about the message. Truly God inspires us and does guide us when are worthy and seek after His spirit!
Thursday we went back to Cindy and taught a great lesson to her, she is part of the Esterninos family and she seems to be interested and we taught her about the Book of Mormon and invited her to read and pray about it!
Friday we had another great lesson with Nita and Bonifacio with Brother Sarabia and we introduced the Book of Mormon to them which made Bonifacio have even more questions but Brother Sarabia really helped us out and helped him understand the importance of both the Book of Mormon and the Bible to teach the true doctrine of Christ in a world that is so confusing!
Another highlight of the week was finding a less active who had not been visited in a while and he was so happy to see us and to read from the Book of Mormon with us, it was incredible! He got so excited and wanted to come back to church!
Really this week the spirit guided us! there are countless wonderful experiences and i know that God wants to use us to bless the lives of others and if we will pray for the spirit he will give it to us! love you!
