Irish
is doing great. We had her interview on Sunday and we have a baptism on
Saturday!!! We are excited for that to happen. It is cool to have one on my
birthday. What a great gift. Erik is doing amazing but he didn't make it to
church this week. Some of the members went over there and they said they had no
money to go to church this week. We are going to have to move his baptism now.
It is a long walk if they would walk, I think about 8 km, so we can't blame
them. We didn't get to teach the Makalua family this week because the kids had
school to make up for a celebration this week. They can choose to make up
school here on Saturday if they don't go because of a barangay celebration.
They didn't make it to church this week either. We don't know why they didn't
come. Mimi is also doing great. She didn't make it to church either. We text
her and she said she tried but the gate was closed and locked so they couldn't
enter. We don't know what happened with that but we did see her on a motorcycle
prepared to go to church. We will probably just move her baptism a week later.
Julie Ann came to church again this week. We were excited about that and want
to give her a baptismal date but she is shy for us to teach her unless her
mother is there. Her mother is very busy so we have a hard time teaching her.
We hope that we can get that going because she has now been to church twice.
Mary Grace is also doing great. We had a great lesson with her about the plan
of salvation. She had lots of questions but she said that it was a lot
better because people don't go to hell. We are trying to get her to
pray to know it is true so that she can get her testimony and make the
transition to the church.
This
Sunday, I went to Vallermoso and did my first baptismal interview. It was a
cool experience. The spirit was so strong as I interviewed him.
The
weather has been pretty nice here. It has been overcast most of the week so not
to hot. We did get a little rain but not as much as you did. We get enough to
get the roads wet but not much more. It is crazy that you are getting so much.
It is pretty nice that amount we are getting right here.
I
wish I could tell you more about my week but it was pretty dull and we spend a
lot of time walking trying to get some teaching appointments.
Next
week might be about the same. We are going to Bacolod next week for zone
conference with President Lopez which will take up two of our days.
Love
you all,
Elder
Nielsen
