Brother Negad's baptismal interview is on Sunday! We are
very excited. It will be the first complete family that I will baptize on the
mission. We had a lesson with Len Dojoles again. We showed the Lamb of God and
the Restoration. She really liked it. We were shocked because she came to
church this Sunday. We don't expect her because of her boyfriend and the need
to attend the Inglesia ni Cristo church. It was a good day to see her come
again. As far as Ruby, she is going back to her work so she will continue the
lessons over there. Joemar, the cousin of the ward mission leader, is doing
pretty good. We have taught him a few times. He is a little bit slower but we
have the time to explain. I don't think he has much religious background. We
still don't know what is going on with Ansaldo. We are really wanting to know
the problem. It is frustrating but maybe it isn't the right time for her right
now. Tabligan is the same as normal. We think he is waiting for someone to come
to church with him. We are working with some other investigators and members to
go to him and invite him to church so he has someone to come to church with
him.
We had a lot of investigators at church again. We reached 8
investigators. It is a pretty good time right now to be working in Manapla. We
are getting close to having a lot of investigators getting baptized. They are
starting to see the fruit of the gospel and are starting to accept it.
On Saturday, it was National Day of Service. The ward put on
a project for us to do as a ward. We attended it to help out. We planted some
trees called mangrove. They are the trees that grow in the water. It was a fun
project.
So right now it is summer in the Philippines. It is very
hot. I hear it will get hotter in May. I don't know much about the fruit. I
haven't ate much here. Mostly fish and rice. Sleeping is ok because you have a
fan running over you so it isn't too bad. You get use to it and besides, you
are too tired not to sleep.
Love you all,
Elder Nielsen
