So we got our transfer calls in and i'll be staying in Tondo as well as everybody in our house hahaha! Poor Elder Dominguez has been in Tondo for almost as long as i've been on my mission!! I'm super happy because I really enjoy it here in the Detroit, Michigan of the Philippines and that's no joke. Once a thug always a thug.
Super busy week but it was so dang fun. The week started off really boring actually with not too much happening in our area. We've been struggling to find new investigators because everybody's kids are back in school so their schedules are super inconsistent and busy :(.
A cool experience that I had this week really helped me remember to always be looking out for those promptings coming from the spirit. We just got done with our personal study and we were getting ready to head out. For some reason I felt a small prompting to bring a spare Book of Mormon. I kind of brushed it off at first because we were heading to some investigators of ours who already have copies of the Book of Mormon. Eventually I just decided to bring one just in case. We headed to our appointment and we caught our investigators at the wrong time, they were just about to leave the house to take one of their kids to school. DARN YOU EDUCATION NOBODY EVEN NEEDS YOU. So we were unable to teach them and decided to go to some other investigators whom we had only taught once before. So we taught them and the father of their household starts talking to us about how he reads the Bible every day and its importance. We began teaching him about the Book of Mormon and its importance in finding out if what we were teaching him was true. When I gave him the Book of Mormon that I had been prompted to bring he lit up with excitement!! He said he is going to start reading it as soon as we leave and he actually began reading it while we were still teaching him so he wasn't actually listening towards the end of the lesson hahaha! Grateful for the promptings of the spirit and I challenge each and every one of you to really listen for it in your life. If you're not constantly looking out for its guidance, you're going to miss its promptings every single time.
We had family home evening at the Torres' home and it was sweet.
Chilling before district meeting! They erased an area here in Tondo so instead we now have 7 Elders in our district!! A lot better than just 4, we might as well have just had our meeting in our house.
For a service project we fixed a member's door and put glass through that little square cutout at the bottom. Also while watching "A Bug's Life" which by the way is a mission approved movie :)
Don't forget those finishing touches.
Love you all! Have an amazing week the Church is so true it hurts.
