Hey ya'll

This last week has been a successful week. I also learned some simple things and was able to apply them to myself and also I shared them with my family. We were in a lesson teaching the Plan of Salvation about The Creation and The Fall. It was really simple about Adam and Eve when they disobeyed and they were cast out of Gods presence. They were experiencing trials and were unhappy but when they covenanted with the God to obey his commandments until they die, things were happier. It is simple but I learned a lot from it.

We also have an investigator who is new this last week and we began to teach her. We were having a hard time helping here. She wasn't really understanding things we taught. We taught her yesterday and we just asked some simple questions but we found out how to help her. We found out that she only kinds believes in Jesus Christ. She said about only 25%. She doesn't know if there is a god. Everything we taught her was pointing to Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father. It helped me to open my eyes and relies that we need to ask even the questions like, so they believe in God and Jesus Christ. It was a real eye opener.

This week we had 8 people come back to church who were less-active. I really liked the area broadcast we had Saturday night. Elder Nielson mentioned focusing on those fruits that are closer to the ground. Those members who have been endowed or have received the Melchizedek Priesthood. I know that our efforts are really going to help the Church in the Philippines.
