This week was pretty good. We found some really good people. First off we were in the area and we went to back of a house and there was a stairway going up. I told my companion to go up so we did and we knocked on this door and a nanay answered. She let us in and we taught he and here daughter. Later the tatay came home and we sheared with him to. He said they would go to church with us on the first visit. We then went to the next door. A brother answered but the was busy he gave us his number and we have been going back ever since. His wife left him and she has the kids and he wants to get remarried but he cant cause he's not divorced and he told us he doesn't want to break a commandment. The problem is a real divorce is really expensive and hes poor. So we promised we would find out what he had to do to get divorced. Next we met a Tatay last week and he was nice but we weren't planning on going back. I walking walking past his house one last week and he seemed pretty interested so we went back and we taught a lesson on faith. he got fired as a security guard cause they say hes to old but he's only 55ish. The spirit was REALLY strong!! Next I went on splits with a ward missionary and we were just closing for the night and looking for just 1 or 2 more lessons. We walked past a little walk way and I saw someone sitting down there. I stopped and said we need to go back. I walked up to the family and said good evening can we introduce ourselves. The Nanay stood up and went inside the house I thought she was leaving but she brought out two chairs. We taught and the spirit was REALLY strong also!! We promised to come back later the next week. I dont know why I said we need to go back but I just felt like we should and it turned out to be a really good lesson. Anyways this last Saturday a family was baptized in my last area. The Oñate Family. I found them when I was on splits. I just found out they were baptized today. They tried to invite me but I didn't hear about anything and so right now I feel really bad about not being there:(. There were real tough back in the day and then they opened up and now there members. Well those are some of my experiences. Last night I fixed the toilet weird to bring that up yeah I know but I felt really good haha. What happened was a spoon was thrown in to the toilet and no one had the guts to pull it out so it got deeper and deeper and it was stuck so the toilet was clogged. Well I took a hanger and stuck it up there and and fished it out and now its all good. I dont know if this is bad but they one of the Elders in the apartment sang "Praise to the man who fixed the toilet" haha. Anyways last week we were coming home from my area and we saw a little kid sleeping on the side of the road. I had some bananas so i took one and put it next to him so that we would wake up and see it and im hoping smile haha. Anyways thats all for today......Until next week take care. Mahal ko kayo!
