Abaw! This week flew by. The Tuerca Family. Tiy Edgardo and Allan already accepted baptism but want to pray about when they need to be baptized. (Tiy Edgardo is still set on having his Baptism on his birthday, October 20) At the end of our lesson we also extended a baptismal invitation to Richie, because for the past couple times we have gone to visit them, he was sick. That's when he sincerely asked how he would know if he received an answer to his prayer about whether he should be baptized. We started to explain about the Holy Ghost, but the coolest part was when his own brother Allan turned to him and started testifying of how he came to know it was true through his feelings from the Holy Ghost. It was sincere, and honest, and so powerful coming from his own brother. I couldn't wipe the smile from my face. I was so happy. A testimony is strengthened and solidified as it is given. The Chua Family and Priesthood Blessings. So this family was a referral from our dear Mary Jane Francisco, the wife of our ward mission leader. They deliver water jugs to this family, and we decided last Sunday to go visit, and now we are teaching them! The father of the family just had a horrible stroke this past April, and the wife and daughter take care of him currently. We finished teaching them lesson 2 about the Plan of Salvation and now we have their new house helper wanting to learn more. Not only that, but this past Saturday, the whole bishopric came to their house with us and gave Bobby Chua a priesthood blessing. Bobby cried, and it was really touching. He doesn't know how to talk again yet, but he understands and feels the spirit.🙂 The Kantara Family. The Kantara family was found last transfer while they were buying tickets for something....I think? Sister Zollinger and Sister Christensen never could find the time to go back and find where they live. Sister Christensen said they had put them in the plan for the longest time, but it wasn't until this week we finally found them and went back to teach. They were so surprised to see us, because it was so long ago when they had talked with them and asked if they wanted to know more. It was so amazing, and the spirit was so strong as we taught about the Plan of Salvation. If it wasn't the right time teach them back then, it definitely is now:). The Jara Family FHE. This Saturday we had a big FHE with the Jara family. Members came with rice, and we came with Sudan (4 big bangros) It was great, and they were all willing to have a FHE with other ward members, and It was so much fun, and a big break for her kids and husband. They started to be taught not long ago and have been making slow progress ever since. Rhoda, the mom has been going to church for the past few weeks and loves it. She started to read the Book of Mormon and we feel like she truly believes it is true. It's going to take a while, because her family are devoted Seventh day Adventists. With Rhoda leading the way, I think they will begin to also develop testimonies. If anyone has any tips on how to fit everything into 24 hours, we'd love some advice. This next week consists of a district council training (I have to train), 2 days of exchanges, zone conference, speaking next Sunday, and then giving a training with the ZL's and stake president at a stake missionary fireside that same Sunday! Please pray for us haha. I love being able to see God's hand every day in the work, even in the smallest of ways. Every day we come home exhausted, because of all we have to do, but prayer, and daily tender mercies keep us going.
Padayon lang kamo ah. Palangga ta kamo pirme! Sister Adams (We got to talk to Em on Google Hangouts for a little bit. She said that the people generously feed them all of the time. She had bangros 3 times in one day. It is her favorite fish to eat so it was great. She said she eats a lot of things that she has no idea what it is, and prefers it that way. :) She loves most of the things she eats. She said they are teaching around 80 people right now, and seeing miracles as they are so busy with other duties.)
