Hey Fam,
This week was quite the success actually! We have been preparing physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally for our 100 hour week this upcoming week. It is actually Sunday night right now because we won't have time to have a pday in order to reach 100 hours of work in 1 week. Anyway, here are some of the highlights from last week!
First of all, I got to go on exchanges with Elder Gamege Don. He is from Sri Lanka! He is honestly one of the funniest people I have ever gotten to work with in my mission! Hahaha his English and Tagalog are both still a little hard for him, but he just says whatever he wants😂 Wala siyang pakialam talaga! We had a super fun day together in one of our super poor areas.
The DelaCruz family is so awesome! This week we were going to their house and the youngest girl Princess was hiding outside and scared us😂 I gave them twisty colored pencils and they have been using them every night:):) Our best lesson this week was about the tree of life! We got the Dad super excited when we told him he was the Lehi of their family and that it was his responsibility to help them all come taste the fruit! The mom was hesitant to come to church because she is shy, but when we got to stake conference Bro Niño had fulfilled his Father responsibility and brought all of them to church! I was sooooo happy to see there waiting for us to get there! They were like 40 mins early hahaha that is not a normal Filipino thing to do! #FilipinoTime We ended up having 9 investigators at stake conference which was super awesome!
We have an investigator named David Subang that is getting close to his baptism on October 5th. He is 22 and actually works in downtown Manila for a branch of Google! Haha it is so awesome because he always talks about the NBA! He always gives us updates to which how his 2K team is coming along hahaha. It's like teaching an American teenager... except in Tagalog:) Anyway, he is kind of dating one of our RMs in our ward, and he said he is going to invite her to our next lesson! It happens to be the day that we are planning on sharing the Law of Chastity with him! Hahahah it will be a super funny lesson:)
Anyway, I'm going to bed so I don't die this week:) I'm going to see how well my mind can control my body this week as we are working 100 hours in the heat. It is going to be a memorable experience whether it turns out good or bad;) Love you guys!!
