Donovan Mitchell > Elder Mitchell

Hello ang aking mga kaibigan,  I missed you.  

I had a very eventful week and we were able to see many miracles and blessings which made it even better.  We were able to get to the area on time every day this week and it felt awesome.

Tuesday:  We took a Sister the airport to get to her new area in Coron.  Right after, we were able to have a service project at a member family household in which we cleaned their house and did their dishes.  Only here in the mission field do the things listed above become your favorite things to do.  We had district meeting and one of the sisters in our district was really sad and when we asked why she said it was because Avicii died.  Then all of us were sad with her :(.

Thursday:  We went to the LTO to help some Elders get their Philippines drivers licenses.  We had to be super patient because the wait to receive the license was 3 and a half hours long.  SWEET...

Saturday:  We were able to pick up my camera from SM Megamall because it has been getting repaired for the last few weeks :(  But expect more pictures coming now that I have it again :)  Also I received news that the Jazz smoked Russell Westbrook and the Thunder like a sausage and that made my whole day.  At night we were able to teach some of our investigators and invite them to church.

Sunday:  MIRACLES!  Sister Lynn, one of our investigators that we've been teaching for my whole time in this area, came to church for the first time.  She is always super busy with her work but she was able to get a Sunday off and really enjoyed the church service that we had.  She said she'll continue to try and get Sundays off from work to come attend church.  Also we had four more investigators attend the church service, all of them being cousins and friends of one of our recent converts.  Today was a good reminder to me that the more effort that we put into progressing this work and being obedient to God's commandments, the more He is willing to reward us openly and guide us.  

Pictures:

1- We got bored at the LTO so we started flipping our water bottles and Elder Amoring somehow managed to flip his onto this thin beam.  Sick.

2- We had a jeepney to ourselves on the way home one night.

That's it for this week!  I would encourage each and every one of you to continue to minister to those who you think could use help or a nice boost along the way to following the Savior and His example.  Love you guys!
