HELLO!!!!!!! So this is what’s going on… I’m in a computer
shop, this is the only computer which doesn’t have working internet, and no
other computer is open. So right now I
am writing this letter with the hope that eventually a computer will open so I
can send this email to you all. Hopefully, soon.
Anyway, this has been quite an
interesting week. On Tuesday, we were
supposed to have a district meeting in Morong but our mission president sent a
text that no missionaries are to leave their house because of the bagyo (storm)
that came and the intense amount of flooding in Metro Manila. Well, for us here
in Rizal Province, it didn’t look like too much of a problem so we asked if we
could go out and still teach. But we
found out that the order came from the Area Presidency and that a missionary in
Pasay got electrocuted so everyone was to stay indoors. Well, we did and it was
a pretty dull day. We just played games
and talked the entire time, listened to music, and Elder Robertson and I just
talked about Utah things for a few hours. Haha! And naps, yes, we took naps and it felt
good! ^_^
Other than the intense bagyo that
happened, it rained really hard on Wednesday too until about 3:00 pm but we
still got a few lessons in. On Thursday,
the APs (assistants to President Revillo) worked with us in our area so we took
that opportunity to contact as many people as we could. We have a far area in Barangay
San Guillermo so I used the opportunity to teach all of our investigators there
with Elder Kmetszch cause we could use the car. Haha! I miss driving…
Saturday, though, was interesting
because my companion Elder Millora was sick that day so we stayed in the whole
day while he slept. Man, he’s been in
and out of a sickness for a few days too. Getting a small fever here and a
cough there but he’s doing better now. We were able to get like 6 lessons in yesterday
to make up for all the lost time. So
despite all of the storms, rain, and sickness, the week’s work was good. We have a ton of people progressing and we had
10 investigators come to church yesterday!
One of the highlights of this week
was that yesterday I was able to confirm Jay-M and Rose Ann- Venadas. It was a really good experience for me cause I
felt the Spirit so strongly when I was confirming them even though it was in Tagalog
and I was struggling a bit to say what I wanted to say. It worked out well and I knew they understood
what it meant. It was the best I’ve felt
in a while so I’m glad I had that opportunity. They were supposed to be
confirmed 2 weeks ago but they always came late to church. On the bright side,
their house is looking pretty good and is almost finished. Don’t worry, I’ll send pictures. I’ve been
waking up sore for a few days too. Nothing
that a good night sleep and ibuprofen can’t fix. Haha!
On top of that we have a baptism
this Saturday! Brother John Mark Langres (Langris?) has been one of the kids
we’ve been teaching at a recent convert’s house. He’s 8 years old so the Branch President
approved his baptism. His father is not
a member so he asked me to baptize him instead! This will be great because then his brothers,
Mario and Jaymil and his father will see his baptism and get more excited for
it! His dad is our investigator too.
Anyway, life is awesome! I love being a missionary!!!
Smile it’s a good day : )
Doing
you Proud,
Elder
Froude ^_^
