Hello all!
How is everyone doing?! Hopefully there isn't a blackout while we are emailing again. This past week was a pretty great week! We had a wonderful branch activity here in the Aborlan branch on Wednesday because it was independence day here. We invited all of our investigators and less active members to the activity and some of them showed up! It was great because the members were able to have a fun activity and fellowship the investigators and less active members to really help them feel welcome. Some college students that we were teaching a little while ago came back this past week and we are teaching them again. They are Jason and Paugie and they are awesome. We had a great lesson with them this past week and we really saw their desire to come to know the truth. It is great when investigators have a true desire to know if the Book of Mormon is true, or if Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God. It's awesome because I know they will do those things Heavenly Father wants them to do in order to know such as read and pray to find the truth. Elder Baniqued and I have also been learning a lot about working with members and leaders in order to really help the work grow. We have mad a goal to really work with the members a lot more and gain their trust in order to receive referrals and also to get them involved in the teaching. The members here in the Aborlan branch are so great and I know they love missionary work and as we continue to work with them, the Aborlan branch is going to grow so so much. I love this work and it is such a blessing to be here in the Aborlan Branch and able to work with these wonderful people and also with all the investigators and less active members. I know this is the work of the Lord and we as missionaries are only instruments in His hands in helping Heavenly Father's children to come unto Christ. That's about it from me!
