Seasons Greetings to everyone.

This week was really good. We taught a total of 31 lessons this week and gave 6 Baptismal dates and had 7 at church without picking anyone up. Usually we would drop by them and walk with them but we had to get up early and we want to see if they would go to church by themselves and they did. We will have a Baptism on Dec 25 and im stoked for that one. Sister Elisa is really strong and asked what are the steps to becoming a missionary hahaha I told her well you need to be a member first. Before she didn't really care about us coming by but now she's way excited. She reads everything we give her like right after we leave. and she has been just reading the Liahona and Gospel principles book like everyday. She's in 2 Nephi in her personal reading. Mapanao Fam are doing good also. They accepted our invitation to be baptized and brother had some ?'s. What do I do if I move before I get baptized? He is trying to get a job and he is waiting for his Visa to go to another Country to work. He said that at the end of this month the power will be shut off. There really nice and they have strong faith. Anyways I have been reading in D&C and I really enjoy that so much. I love how much it refers to Missionary Work and the importance of that. My companion and I are preparing a lesson that we will be sharing to the ward and hopefully to some investigators about the birth and sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We want to help people this season to feel the really spirit of Christmas. Remembering the greatest gift that was giving to us. Helping people relies that Christmas that its not about fancy gift but helping others and sharing our blessings with others. I know that if we remember the Savior this season that we will be able to feel the Love that he has for us. What we plan on doing with our investigators is reading The Birth of Jesus Christ and making a little gift that that will help them remember Him. Something that I want to do also is wrap the BOM's we give out with ribbon. Well I pray that this season is Joyful and brings the spirit into your homes. Mahal ko kayo!!!
