Magandang hapon sa inyo lahat ulit

This has been a pretty good week. I think ever week so far has been pretty good. I cant think of a bad one haha. I went to my baptisms back in my last area (Muntinlupa 2). Saw the rest of the Sia Family get baptized and Sister Juleen Jaunico. Sister Juleen is the sister of Joanne who I baptized when I was there. The whole Sia family is now members and I hope in 1 year I will be able to see them get sealed in the Temple for eternity. I miss my last area and that was a treat to go back and see everyone again. When you make good friendships you dont want to be transferred but i knew that it would help me even though its hard. This area right now here in Bicutan is a good area to. It needs some help but with the Lord we can do anything. Something that happened to me last week was really cool. It was Saturday night and we needed some OYM's to meet our goal. So we were talking to everyone on Jeepney's and tricycles. I ran out of pamphlets and all i had left was a Book of Mormon. I told my companion Elder Kaka that im going for a big one haha. I was sitting on a tricycle waiting for it to fill up. I was gonna wait for someone who I really think would read it and not just put it aside. A sister walked past and she got in. The first thing I said was Magandang Gabi sister. Taga saan kayo? Where are you from? She said she was from a place near Cebu. So I know that she has to know Visaya. Im hoping she does anyways. So I say some stuff in Visaya and she said oh you know Visaya. Of course I dont know very much but just being able to relate to her and start a conversation she opened up and asked me who I was and I was like YES!!! Well we got talking and I shared some beliefs with her and when we stopped the tricycle. I had the feeling she was the one to receive the BOM. I pulled it out and and said here. Basahin nyo siya... Its like please read it. She kinda hesitated and than she took it and smiled and said thanks. I was a little upset I didn't have time to get information from her or tell her about it. But I had a great feeling after the tricycle drove off into the night. Anyways Brother Renyal was baptized and confirmed Saturday and Sunday. The work it great. I really enjoy it even when disappointing times come our way. I also went to the temple today and that is always amazing. Feeling the amazing spirit there. What a blessing it is to be assigned in a area near the temple. Until next week take care everyone and SMILE:) 2 Nephi 9:39...........Mahal ko kayo!!
