Hey there everybody!
This week was a really great one! We had so many lessons and we were able to really help out a ton of people this past week to just come closer unto Christ and follow Him. I have really seen so many wonderful people change the lives because of the gospel and it really is a miracle to me. Children of our Father in Heaven changing their lives so they can live in accordance to His gospel. It totally blows my mind! (In a good way). This past week we had the wonderful opportunity of going to an investigator we have been teaching for a few weeks now. Anyway, he told us how super excited he is to get baptized and to follow the example of Jesus Christ! It made me so happy to hear that and I can't wait for him to enter the waters of baptism. His name is Jorald and he's 15 years old. His father isn't a member but said it would be okay for him to be baptized! And there are a bunch of members that all live really close to Jorald, the Paller family being one of them, and they all are there to support him as well. It was just great for me to see him progress so much, he was really hesitant at first and just seemed really shy, but last week when he opened up to us like that, it just made me so happy. Training and being a district leader here is pretty fun stuff. I'm having a lot of fun with Elder Baniqued. He is always trying to work on English and I never speak English to him. I think it's crazy that I spend every minute speaking in Tagalog. 9 months ago I could only say the real simple things like "thank you." I love this time I have to serve the Lord and I especially love these assignments as district leader and trainer. It has helped me to grow so much! I love this gospel and know it is true with all my heart! I can't believe I have the opportunity now to share it! I love you all! Keep me updated! I sure will do the same for you!
