I had a really cool experience this
week with one of our new investigators. We were teaching him about faith, and
it was only our third lesson with him, and we hadn't said anything to him yet
about the Restoration or Joseph Smith, but at the end of the lesson, he said,
"may itatanong ako. Paano naging propeta si Joseph Smith?" ("How
did Joseph Smith become a prophet?") So we gave him a Restoration pamphlet
and pointed him to page about Joseph Smith, and he started reading it right
away, and he was very eager to know about it, and he had lots of questions. It
was very exciting to see an investigator become very excited about having a
living prophet.
I just love being a missionary so
much. I can't even tell you. It just gets better and better. I can't imagine
that I'm going home in 4 months. Time is sure flying. I really like being with
Sister Quiles. She is a really dedicated missionary. And she is also a very fun
companion.
Last week, Nanay A's granddaughter was
diagnosed with Asthma. It was a really hard week for her and her family
especially because they don't have money to pay for health care. We got the Bishop
to come give the granddaughter a blessing, and now she is starting to do
better. The granddaughter’s mom sat in on Nanay's lesson on Saturday, and then
she came to church with Nanay yesterday. I really hope she will continue. I
hope their whole family will accept the gospel.
I love being here as a missionary. I
am so thankful for the gospel. I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve as
a missionary. I love you all!
