I
am so thankful that there are 4 missionaries in San Nicolas 1 now. I am so
excited about the progress I'm seeing in the ward. So many more people are
progressing and coming to church than ever would have happened when it was only
me and Sister Serrano here. I am so grateful to see the Lord's work
progressing. It's very exciting.
Last
Tuesday we had to stay inside all day long because it had been raining since
Friday, and the area presidency didn't want the missionaries to go out because
there were two missionaries who were injured from going out in the storm. So it
was an interesting day. But I started reading the Book of Mormon in Ilokano,
and it really helped me. So that was good.
Yesterday
we taught the cutest family...well, the mother and children anyway. The
mother is less active, but Sister C has been helping her to come back to
church, and so we are now teaching her children. All three of them have baptismal dates now, and
they are really progressing. Before we ever taught
him, he asked Sister C how he can be baptized. He is reading the Book of
Mormon, and praying, and going to church, and now sister is starting
to do that too. Yesterday was our first time to teach their other brother, but he
wants to be baptized too. I'm excited about them.
The gospel is so wonderful. I never realized until I came on my mission how lucky I was to grow up with the gospel in my life. I'm so grateful to be a missionary.
