Hey I finally ate a burger

I'm sure as you have all read the title, nothing too spectacular happened this week so i'm going to try and keep this email relatively short.  

This was a very tough week.  It pushed us physically and really tried our faith.  Up until the latter part of the week we found very little success.  Our investigators either weren't home, leaving soon, or had some other reasons as to why they were unavailable at the moment.  It can be REALLY frustrating sometimes when you feel like you're giving your all and seeing little payout or outcome from your efforts.  There are some days you really just want to give up and run away from all trials and struggles.  I testify that it is in those times that we feel so desperate and useless that God is ready to lift us up and help us.  All we need to do is remember to turn to him.  He loves us as His children and He may be the only one who knows what we're going through so He is on hold waiting to see what we will do next.  A really funny experience that i'd like to share happened while we were contacting a media referral we received from the office.  We were introducing ourselves and he asks us if our chapel is the one with the basketball court and we say yes.  He then asks us if we know why our church has a basketball court and we ask him why.  He then goes into his house to search for something and comes back with a picture in his hand and says, "Because basketball is the sport of the Savior".  He then shows us the Picture and lone behold, a picture of the Savior in full basketball attire, shorts and jersey dribbling a basketball!! That was one of the most interesting conversations I think i've ever had...  You learn something new every day!

As the title states, I finally ate a burger.  It was incredible and it came with disposable gloves so that I wouldn't get my hands messy... GENIUSES!  

We found this cool landmark in our area.  KKK does not mean what you think it does.  It means, "Kataas-taasan Kagalang-galang Katipunan nang mga Anak nang bayan"  

...Yeah whatever that means

We also celebrated Bishop's birthday this week at their house!  Our Bishop is awesome and super helpful to us and to the progressing of this work.

That's it for this week I hope you all remember we are children of the Highest God!!!!!!
