Illagan: Tumawini 2nd 3.10.14

This was my first full week with Elder Domingo! We have a ton of fun together. We have a ton of stuff in common including our likes in TV shows and games. Neither of which we are actually allowed to participate in but its cool that we have fun stuff to talk about and get along well. But one thing that he is super good at what we in the field call BRT it stand for Building Relationships of Trust. He is like a genius at it. I feel like im picking it up a little better with his help so I am super grateful for that. 

We were able to have a lot of work this week but as like very week it has it ups and downs. The ups being that we got to teach our prodigal children investigators who are a blast to teach. If all people were as fun and easy to teach as children the work would be a breeze. They keep their assignments they volunteer, and they ask questions. Its a blast to teach them the gospel. 

One thing that was super fun this week is we got to ride bikes on day. Although we dont have bikes our Mission President approved us to borrow our Bishops bikes when we have to go really far away. This is to prevent us getting stuck far away at night and not being able to get back in time for curfew due to a lack of transportation at night. That happened to us once this week. On top of everything else our phone dies so we couldnt even call and tell the other missionaries we were still alive. Luckily no drastic measures were taken before we arrived. 

As to the rest of our work its moves forward. No huge leaps of progress to speak of seeing as we had no investigators at church which break my heart a little every time it happens. But we did experience one miracle this week. We were planning at night one day this week and we planned for all the people we were going to teach the following day except one sister. We just felt like we should wait. WE planned the next morning for her before we left and we decided to teach here about charity. We went to her house and taught her and she was crying and just kept saying that what we were teaching her was the exact thing she needed to hear that day. 

I will testify to you that even though that is a small miracle it a miracle. And I will testify that God is a God or Miracles. He is the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Israel. He is our father and he loves all. He gives us strength when we have exhausted our own. I love this work and there is nowhere else id rather be. 

I love you all and Ill Talk to you soon!
