10 Investigators at Church!

The first of this week has hard. We had a hard time teaching people. But in the end it turned out to have a lot of miracles.

This week we went to one of our farthest areas. It is San Pablo. It is on the mountain side. It is about 4-5 kilometers from our house. It was a long distance. We contacted some of the less actives we had over there. We also returned to Central Manapla because we had some referrals over there and an investigator. It was good to go there because we now understand our map in the area book.

As far as investigators, we had Renelyn's baptism. It was a great experience. It was good to finally have a baptism from Punta Salong. Brother Negad is progressing. He is on schedule to be baptized on May 11. Cherry Mae doesn't want to listen to us so we don't think that she will be baptized for a while. We don't know what is going on with Tabligan. They said they will come to church on Saturday but they didn't come. We are still waiting to hear if they want to join because they are listening to a lot of religions right now. Brother Baldos seems to be doing good. He likes the church but he doesn't come to church. It will help to have missionaries there to pick them up to come to church. Len Dojoles really likes the church. She doesn't believe some of the teaching of Inglesia but she loves to listen to us. She says that her faith increases when we teach but it doesn't when they teach. We are just waiting to hear what she has to say. Padernal really likes the church. They are hesitate to come to church right now. We hope that as we teach they will feel more comfortable coming to church.

We saw a huge miracle in church this week. We had 10 investigators come to church!!! We were surprised because we only taught some a few times and others we hadn't met. We had some come from San Pablo that we hadn't met before. They came to investigate the church because the daughter's boyfriend wants her to join the church. It was great to have them come. Her name is Ruby. I don't remember the mom's name. We are seeing a lot of good in our area right now.

The training went well. President, as always, gave us a lot of insight and taught us how to better teach the restoration. He teaches a lot and really wants us to be Preach My Gospel scholars.

I love you all.
