My life be like oooooo awwwww ooooooo ooo My life be like
Hey there!!
That song just came into my head right when I was about to start writing so I thought I would include it. Anyway! This last week was great. We had some specialized teaching trainings that are happening throughout the mission. We had 3 last week and we have 3 more of them this week. They are awesome and we just really focus on helping all of the missionaries teaching with power and authority. We have noticed that a lot of missionaries add a lot of fluff to the lessons so we had this teaching training for all the missionaries to just focus on the doctrine and teaching out of the scriptures. It has been great so far and everyone feels like it is helping out! We went to some of the members in the Makati 4th ward which is our international ward. It was great. We visited 3 families which included our ward mission leader Bro. Keys and his family. They are awesome and it was sweet because they fed us chicken and mashed potatoes as well as we got to coordinate the work in the ward. It is a weird situation in our ward because it s only for those international people but it is great because we get to go all over the place in our mission. They Keys family is awesome though and they have these 3 little kids who are so awesome. One of them is like 2 and he did a Hulk smash on his mashed potatoes. Literally he said "Hulk smash" and smashed his mashed potatoes everywhere. Elder Belnap and I were laughing so hard! We also got to visit our new Bishop in the Makati 3rd ward. He is awesome and just wanted us to come by, have dinner, and talk about what we can do to strengthen the ward. he is really focused on home and visiting teaching and so we want to really help with that. His birthday was this last Saturday and so Elder Belnap and I stopped by his house. He was not there so we left a note saying happy birthday on his door. I think he liked that. This last Sunday we had a miracle just happen in our area. We received a referral from some sister missionaries in our mission so we texted the guy to try and visit him. He said he was busy but said he would come to church. Well this last Sunday, he actually did come to church! He recognized my name because I was the one who texted him and we got to talking and he wants to be taught and wants to get baptized as well! I was stoked because Elder Belnap and I have been praying for miracles! I love this work and I can't believe all of the miracles that happen in the mission. This is the work of the lord. No doubt about it!
