Happy Father's day to all of amazing dads out there! You are the best examples and of course every boy's first hero is their dad! We love you dads!!!!!
Transfers are this week and I will be staying in Tondo! I got a new companion and his name is Elder Sison! He is yet another Filipino and he's pretty chill, we're going to great things here as a companionship. We have already seen some miracles happening since he arrived here. Our investigators attended sacrament and we found some new families to teach!!
SOOOOOOOO i'll fill you in on one of the challenges we faced this week. Sister Cinco and her family are some of the investigators that we have been teaching for the last few weeks here in Tondo. They are incredibly nice and always willing to hear our message. Unfortunately, they refuse to go to church because one of the members in our ward was a good friend of theirs back in the day. Turns out he has a pretty big amount of debt to them and refuses to pay it which caused them to become poor and move into the ghetto part of our area, the permanents. Since then they have been struggling and living some pretty hard lives. The father of the Cinco family says if he attends our church and sees him he'll punch him right in the face so you can see there are still some pretty bitter feelings going on here. Well, the father of the Cinco family passed away this week from a stroke... Shoot. Sister Cinco is still willing to listen to us and we delivered a very powerful lesson to her this week reminding her about how families are eternal and she'll see her father again and she REALLY enjoyed it so we hope to see how the spirit will help us to comfort and progress their family.
That is just one of the struggles we have faced this week but I love having trials in the mission. You really have to stop, ponder, and listen to what the spirit is telling you. We have no idea what to do or how to help these people sometimes but Heavenly Father knows all of His children individually so we just need to listen. This week was sweet.
That's Elder Sison my new companion!
While exploring our area we walked into this tiny slit of an entrance and it led to this giant market it was sick.
District meeting where they announced transfers!!! Always the scariest meeting!
Last picture with Elder Dominguez on transfer day!:((( Freak i'll miss him so much. He transferred ALL THE WAY down the stairs. Our area is Tondo 1A and he transferred to Tondo 1B... Same house and all.
Still Guapo as always.
Have an amazing week and once again HAPPY FATHERS DAY I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
