Ay this week has been a good and fast one. Sister Sta. Barbara and I worked so hard this week, and we are so excited about a couple of families we found and started teaching too! One night this week after a really good but exhausting day of work, we got home and knelt down to pray.... to say the least we didn't get back up from the floor. Two hours later we woke up to the alarm on the phone that we set to remind us it is close to 10:30 and we have to go to bed. We didn't even eat dinner or get ready for bed, we were just so tired haha. This Sunday in the middle of the night, President Sumagpao called and asked if Sister Sta. Barbara would be willing to transfer to La Carlota. Long story short the Sisters house in La Carlota got broken into multiple times last week, and some of the sisters were really freaked out and scared. President gave them the option to stay or be transferred, and that's why my new companion is now Sister Clark. She feels a whole lot safer being here in Bacolod City. I was sad to see Sister Sta Barbara go but all we can do is padayon lang. This Saturday we went and visited the cutest little family. Sister Garcia and I had found this family last transfer. They told us that they were available on Saturdays and Sundays. We have had a hard time getting there the last few weeks on those days. We hoped to be able to go back, but something else always just came up. This Saturday the Dopio family was so excited to see us because it had been awhile. They told us that for the past couple weeks they had waited for us, but we never came. We talked real quick, and they told us to come back the next day. Sunday we had an awesome lesson about the Restoration. After we closed, we asked when we could come back. Mario thought for a minute and then said, "What about tomorrow?" We couldn't stop the grins that came to our faces. That is what every missionary wants to hear. Then he added, "We'll feed you dinner too so you keep coming back!" I love the spirit that our unique message brings that keeps others wanting more. I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is true, and God's work is hastening here on earth in order to gather in His children. There is nothing greater we could be apart of!
