#44 Still working hard

Monday, May 19, 2014

Hey Everyone,

This last week has been pretty good.  We have been helping a member with his family history and then he gave us a bunch of referrals of his family.  We continue to work hard and teach many lessons but we are trying to focus on the people acting for themselves.  One thing as a missionary is you can't make someone have a relationship with God. That is their own choice.  I am here only as a guide.  I know the way and I am trying to teach others the way.  Yesterday I was sick so I had a chance to read the Easter poems. Don't worry.  I am feeling just fine today.  I just had a couple explosions of diarrhea but let me tell you, rice slows things down quite nicely.

Love

Skyping on Mother’s Day

#42 Family History

Monday, May 5, 2014

Hello everyone,

  I am doing great here in the Philippines.  We taught a ton of people this week and found some awesome new investigators. One thing that we really used this week was family history work.  We were talking to one of our members and helping him with his family history.  He then told us where a couple of his brothers lived.  We were able to visit one and teach him.  He was very open to the gospel and very willing to help his brother with their family history.  It was really cool to see the spirit of Elijah work.  We will definitely keep trying to use this. Sorry I didn't respond last week.  We had a lot of computer problems but now we are in a different computer shop.  Transfers haven't happened yet and we don't know either.  We did find a place that we can skype on Mother’s Day and it looks like it should work well.  

The weather has just been hot.  It doesn't get below 87 even at night.  It hasn't rained in a long time and we ride about 20 kms a day.  

Love
