This week was a pretty good one. We had zone interviews this week on tuesday and because we now live so close to the office, i did not have to wake up at 5! It was good and I got to see Elder Morris there for the first time since training. He goes home in June and i was excited to see him and talk to him again. The rest of the week was just finding, teaching and visiting members. The struggle for us right now is finding good investigators, ones who want to come to church and who read and pray. We finally found one this week while we went finding. Her name is Joy and she had three kids, her husband is a sailor and is currently in Peru right now working. She let us in and we talked for a while and we were not able to teach her but she said she would come to church. We went and visited her on sunday morning and she said she was too busy to come....but.....after the sacrament we were walking to class and she came up to us and said that she was sitting in the hall with her kids, but SHE CAME TO CHURCH!!!! finally we have someone who came to church. It was a really good tender mercy from the Lord and we were both relieved and happy that we finally have someone to work with.
Another thing that people here struggle with is prayer. A lot of the people here dont know how to pray and because they dont know how, they dont do it. One thing I learned this week was the prayer is like a big, juicy, delicious, 'Hires Big H' hamburger. Of course your hamburger has two buns, and your prayer should have two names. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are like the two buns, and in between the buns you can put anything you want in there, bacon, cheese, lettuce. Just like in prayer you can ask for anything and be thankful for anything, you can say anything thats on your mind. We try to teach the people here this concept and it seems to work sometimes, the problem is now everytime we say a prayer i get hungry and want a burger. And its funny to joke about, the philippinos find it really funny when, after a prayer, you say : "Oh sarap ang burger nyo" that means: oh that burger was delicious hahahahaha. Yeah good times.
Well, masaya ang mission talaga. Ang bilis yung panahon pero minsan mabagal talaga din. ANyways, I love you all and i hope that you all ahve a great week! remeber to read the BofM everyday and pray......remember the burger.....haha. There is power in the Book of Mormon and it is the most true book on the face of this earth, why not read it everyday? I love you all talk to ya next week!
