Heyy everyone!!!

This week has been really good and the transfer went so fast!!!
My comp and I are staying in Bulihan and I was made DL. Im way
nervous!!! This morning I was suppose to be at a leadership meeting
but we took the long way to get to Buendia Chapel so i totally missed
it! I did make it for the last little bit. The testimonies hahaha they
were nice!!!! This coming Saturday we have 3 baptisms. Encinas Fam(2)
and Sister Marjorie Panes(Part Member). Im really excited for them!!!
We have been finding this last wek and it has been rough. Something I
experienced...we were tracting and introduced ourselves to this
brother. I ask if we could come in. He said yeah on one condition if
they can share to. So we go in..he says you can call me Pastor Richard
haha we pulls out a antimormon book and starts to test us if we know
stuff about the church. Joseph Smith, etc. He never let us talk once
but then he said o now you can go. He started to push us out he door
literally then I offered him a BOM and he said nope I dont have time
to read it and pushed me out the door. I wasn't angry at all but I was
kinda hurt that he just rejected our offer. I told my comp. if he
rememebers the scripture about casting pearls before swine. I said
thats how I feel when people reject us. Something I care about and am
spending 2 years declaring, people dont accept it. But they do have
their agency. Something we are going to start focusing on are Less
Active and Part member family. Its just like finding but using time
wisely. The things happening around neighboring countrys and here
(quakes, radiation leaks, etc) doesn't stop the work. Well til next
week take care!
