Well where do I start?? This week has gone by so FAST!!! We had some really good experiences this week. First of all....We were tracting this week and we weren't having much success but we were just walk paths or streets haha finding by the spirit. Look for those people who have been prepared!! We walked past this house and the door was cracked so we felt to OYM the people there. The people just said come inside. We were like SWEET!!! We find out that she was taught by the Elders back 2007. They are really nice!!! They went to church back in the day and then something happened and the missionaries didn't come back. Than she went to another country to work. But we shared about The Restoration. They accepted a return appointment. The next one was a referral from the Sisters in our zone. They contacted these people on a jeepney and they got there address and number. We go by there and she had a BOM. I was like where did you get that. She said that back in the day that 2 Americans Elders like my companion and I gave her a BOM. So you know my companion isn't American hahaha. She was laughing at everything we said which was kinda weird but we are going back later tonight. Something that really got me down this last week or yesterday........We were waiting for our investigators at the church but they never came. They had to attend yesterday to be baptized by Mar 19. 4 times to church before there baptism. So we had to move there date to the 26th of Mar. I was kinda bumbed about that but there are consequences for not keeping commitments and they need to show their faith. Early today we went to Tagaytay City as a Zone. Its a park on this mountain next to a HUGE lake in the middle of the island. I went there last June 2010. My 1st transfer in the field. It was pretty fun and HOT!!!! These next few months are supposed to be the HOTTEST months of the year....Tag-init. Anyways I heard that Dylans mission is being split in June-July when they get there new Mission Pres. The same is happening here in the Manila Mission! In July a part of the mission will go to the neighboring mission in Quezon City when we get our new Mission Pres... President Stuki. I heard he's from Kentucky but grew up in IDAHO. His wife is from Preston, ID. How sick is that???!!!!!!! Im excited but im going to miss President Howard! He is the bomb. Well I love you all and I know this is the work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This Church is true!!!! From everything that I have experienced and felt in my life and especially on my mission I have no doubt that this is the church that Jesus Christ himself established!!! Love you all!!!! Take care
