You Can't See Me

Kamusta yung mga nagbabasa ng emails ko hanggang ngayon.  Konti lang kayo seguro hahaha!

We're killing it here in Makati.  We've been able to see some small miracles coming from our diligent work in our area.  I come home super tired every day and I wake up maybe even more tired but we've found a way to make it work.  

One day we were on exchanges and a man walking his dog stops us on the street and says, "Elders!!  I have a question!  What's the difference between the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood?"  What in the world.  How crazy is that?  Turns out a while back, this man had a copy of the Book of Mormon and the Restoration Pamphlet but moved away before he could really be taught.  We were super excited to hear about that and we've been teaching him ever since!  Another super cool experience came during a super long stressful day.  Elder Asay and I had just been walking back and forth from appointments that fell through so we just opened our planners and started going to some of our potential investigators.  I got the impression to visit the house of a man we had street contacted the other day.  We looked for his house for a good 20 minutes walking up and down the street but we could not seem to find it so we decided to just give up on that.  However, we passed by an investigator who we had dropped a while back because he was rarely available due to his work and his little kids.  We decided to head to his house even though we didn't really want to because it just seemed like a waste of time walking to his house and we didn't feel like getting rejected for what felt like the 100th time that week; but we had nothing to lose so we did it.  Turns out we caught him at the perfect time.  Him and his wife were just sitting in the living room playing with their 3 little kids.  They let us in and let them teach us and we were able to really connect the gospel to their needs.  Brother had to lose his job to take care of his family and was going through a lot of stressful times but we were able to share some scriptures from the Book of Mormon that seemed to comfort him and bring him some happiness that day.  He invited us to come back and teach them about the message this week!  

It really boosted our testimony that the Lord has His own way of moving this work along.  Even though what we feel we should do may not be what we want to do or it may seem pointless at first, if you follow that spirit you'll follow the will of God which ultimately leads to happiness.  I stand by what my awesome companion said this week, "Straying away from the will of God is straying away from the happiness that he has prepared for you".

Elder Adawag and I went on exchanges this week.  He claims to be full Filipino but deep down I know he's a chinese kwanner.  He's crazy.  I love the guy.

We seem happy but we're dead inside :))))

​Have fun.  Be safe.  See a doctor if the symptoms persist.  Love you.
