Family,
I am sending pictures this week, sorry for the long wait! Hopefully you will be able to see them all. They are loading right now so be patient. Also, last week we e-mailed earlier because of the power outage. It has been better this week, but we came early again just in case.
We get transfer calls
this Monday. My companion thinks that I will stay here another transfer to finish up my training, but I bet I get transferred. But who knows? I wouldn't mind staying here one more transfer. The place is alright, it's not very hot, & my companion is an alright guy. I also wouldn't mind getting transferred either, so we'll see. My biggest worry is if I get a companion I don't like.
So, I know that I say this every time you send pictures, but seeing all of you & the kids makes me almost cry every time. I long so much to be there with you all. This mission life is fine & I'm pretty much used to everything here, but I still wish I was able to be home with you all. I miss you all so much.
On
October 26, there is a mission wide conference, including the Cebu East mission which means I will be able to see Elder Rainey! I'm pretty excited about that. Besides that, Elder Neil L. Anderson is coming & speaking so it should be pretty good.
That's about it this week. We had some investigators come to church so that's good! Nobody would come so we went to their home's at
7 a.m. to remind them all & we got a few to come with us. Also, there is this little girl we have been teaching since I first arrived & we have been trying to get here baptized, but her mom is in-active. We have been pleading with her to come so she can be baptized, but she never did. So one night, I sat her down & told her that we can't keep coming over & teaching if she doesn't come to church. I said some other things as well, but it was pretty much make it or break it. That
Sunday, she attended church! She has been 2 weeks in a row now, & if she comes 2 more weeks in a row, she is considered "rescued" & we can baptize her daughter. She seems so much happier when we come over now. Hopefully she keeps attending.
