What a week! We had a ton of work again and I just felt super duper busy the whole time. There was no time to rest which was great because I really felt we are being diligent and fulfilling our purpose as missionaries in helping others to come unto Christ. I was really grateful for the work that the Lord blessed us with this past week. We had a really awesome opportunity to teach a referral given to us by members this past week. Her name is Rosemarie and she is just great. We shared about the Restoration the very first lesson and invited her to baptism. She said she is so willing to follow Christ and be baptized! I was so happy, and it reminded me of the time I was first taught by those wonderful Sister missionaries and the feelings I had the first lesson to follow Jesus Christ. We shared about the Book of Mormon and she is so excited to read it and pray about it to come to know that it is true. I can't wait to see how she progresses and comes to follow her Savior, Jesus Christ. I had the opportunity to work in Carbar this past week as well with one of the district leaders in the zone, Elder Clarito. It was a great experience getting to help him out in his own area and seeing how the work is progressing over there. There are not a whole ton of people over in Cabar because it is super duper jungle and houses are really spread apart, but the missionaries over there are doing great and really working hard. It was a great time because I got to learn a ton from Elder Clarito as well. We found out this week that Elder Balonsong, my companion right now is getting transferred. We only got to spend one transfer together here in Narra. I am going to miss him so much. I really learned a ton from Elder Balonsong, probably the most I have learned from and other companion on my mission so far. I am very grateful that I got to serve with Elder Balonsong as a zone leader. He is going to open up an area in our zone and he is going to be training a new missionary at the same time! He is going to do great and I know his trainee is going to be able to learn a lot from him as well. So next transfer I am going to have a new companion, my 6th new companion in my last 5 transfers. I think he is going to be a new zone leader so that will be exciting helping him to learn how to be a zone leader and stuff. I can't wait! I am going to miss Elder Balonsong a ton though. I love this work and I love being able to help others to come unto Christ. I love all of my companions I have had so far and all the things I have learned from them. I can't wait to continue to learn more bu more importantly I can't wait to invite and help more people to follow Jesus Christ. Well, that's it from me. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you all again. Till next week.
