So this week was fantastic! We made a lot of food.. and I learned how to make Chicken and/or Pork Adobo! It was super yummy!!!!.. Of course, it wasn't perfect, since it was only the first time. But practice makes perfect :) So I'm gonna have to keep making it. We also made a Graham "cake," which is just Graham Crackers, sweet and condensed milk, evaporated milk and mango's. Super healthy huh? ;) It is insanley good! One great thing about the Philippines is the food! MMMmmmm.
Elder Maagad and I are working really hard.. and it is hard because here in the city, the people are more prideful, and they aren't as willing to listen to us. But we push through, and we have seen little miracles and blessings. When we run into Less-Active's on the street, or people call us over just randomly, It shows me that I need to always strive to have the Spirit with me so that I can be open to recognizing those little "goodies" placed in our path.
We also have 2 baptisms coming up soon! One is quite amazing... So the man is not a member, but his wife is, and both of his Children. He was really into smoking and drinking, and then about a month ago, his son passed away, without much warning. His heart was then softened enough to begin listening to the misionaries again, and, though he was VERY VERY hard headed, he eventually softened enough, and with the help of the Holy Ghost, we are so happy to say that he has accepted the Gospel into his life, and he is very excited to be baptized, and eventually go to the temple with his wife and be sealed to his family for eternity!
I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and for all of the many blessings that come from living it faithfully! I am so grateful that we have a living Prophet today, who helps lead and guide this church, through revelation from God.
Stay True!
