Another Week in the Manila Mission

This week we were not able to do too much because Elder Desabille was sick so we stayed in for a couple of days but that gave me a chance to read the scriptures and improve my tagalog so I was not complaining!  We focused on progressing our investigators this week towards their baptismal dates that are approaching this month.  We were able to extend another baptismal invitation to Sister Jennifer.  Sister Jennifer is the girlfriend of an inactive member, Brother Jonathan.  We approached their house just going door to door asking if people wanted to hear our message and they immediately let us in.  Brother Jonathan explained to us that he had been praying for missionaries to teach his family!  He told us that he wanted us to teach Sister Jennifer about Joseph Smith and the Restoration!  Crazy right?!  Missionary work is no joke, the Lord actually prepares people for you to teach!  After a couple of lessons, she wanted to be baptized and to follow Jesus Christ.  Other than that awesome experience we basically just tried to finish teaching all the lessons that are required to teach prior to baptism to those investigators who have baptismal invitations.  I will be sure to send the pictures of their baptisms and explain more about their backgrounds when you can actually see what they look like haha!  This picture sums up my whole week!  Love you all have an amazing week and trust in God, He is always with us!
