Kamusta ka na? Abaw! It was a great week and yet again I can't believe it's another Monday. This week we spent a whole lot of time with the Arlos family preparing Andres for his baptism. He is so ready. I love him and his family so much. On Saturday the Elders came with us to interview Andres for Baptism. They were SO excited to get to go to Cavan. It is my favorite place ever. And good news Andres passed hapos gid. A while back we had started to teach a group of boys, one is a recent convert and the rest are his cousins. One boy in particular is more interested then the others. His name is Ronel and he seriously could be a modern day Joseph Smith. He's 14, so spiritually mature and has tried just about every church just wanting to find the truth. It was pretty cool to be able to fully relate Joseph Smith's story directly to him. We know he knows it's true. The times he has prayed he told us he's felt peace every time. He just continues to tell us he's not ready. So we just need to convince him he is. Also funny story of the week. Once a week we go to a recent convert that was baptized a while ago. We weren't sure if he had been retaught after his baptism so we started from the beginning, the funniest part is when we asked about the Godhead and he proceeded to tell us that it is Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith I couldn't help it I lost it laughing. No wonder people think we worship Joseph Smith. Don't worry he understands now hehe This Sunday Sister Sales and I spoke again. I talked about prayer and shared a story. As most of you know, I went down to Snow College the beginning of August for training summer before last. It was really tough physically, and mentally, and I'm not sure if my mom remembers this or not, but every night without fail, she would text or call and want to know everything. What we did and especially how I was doing. She wanted to know it all even now being on a mission, she wants all the details. And sometimes (no offense mom) it was a little annoying. But as I've thought on it, I've realized it is the same as our Father in Heaven. He wants to know everything. What we did, how we are doing, our dreams, hopes, fears, problems and the longings of our hearts, because we are His children and He loves us. And unlike my mom he can't call or text, He silently waits to listen. So get on your knees and communicate with him everyday:) Palangga ta kamo tanan! Halong pirme
