#48 Still teaching our English class

Monday, June 23, 2014

Hello everyone,
  It has been another great week in the Philippines.  This week we had transfers so I got to work a little bit in some other areas while people were transferring.  I didn't transfer and neither did my companion, Elder Banawan. We are planning to have a great transfer.  This week I was working in Elder Johnson's area for the first part of the week and on Wednesday we helped one of the branch members make a bamboo crib for her baby.  It was pretty fun. We also found this awesome new investigator while we were shopping for groceries.  I was standing in line to pay and this little kid was looking at candy by me and I started talking to him. His mom saw me and said that her sister was Mormon.  We set up a return appointment and got a member to come with us.  We had a really good lesson with this sister and her sister that is a member.  It is amazing how the Lord will put people in your path if you are willing to act.  I encourage everyone to pray for missionary moments and then starting talking.  It might take a little while but I know the lord will help you in any righteous desire.  
Also we, as missionaries are now planning a branch activity.  No one in our branch really has callings or understands what they need to do.  It is wonderful.  We are trying to teach them their callings right now.  We have 4 missionaries here in Talibon and then 4 in Ubay.  Ubay is just a group right now so technically they are part of our branch and I am still district leader over these 8 missionaries.  We are still doing our English class and I am still helping with family history.  I am also teaching the temple prep class.  I have three students that will get endowed in September.  I might get to escort one also.  I  hope I do.  Do you have any good ideas for games that can be competitions between families with kids of all ages.  We kind of want to do a group competition.  We will split them into 4 groups and have them go to stations.
 It has been raining quite a bit which has been nice because it cools everything off.  Now instead of being soaked with sweat we are soaked with rain but the rain smells a lot better.  I just hang my clothes up at the end of the day and I can use them again.  I don't even have to wash them.  

Love,

 Elder Roskelley
