Letter that Didn't Send Last Week

Have you every tryed praying about being humble? That isn't a good one. I did it in Manapla and look what happened hehehe.
This was a pretty good week for us. We taught a fair amount and we had lots of investigators come to church this week. Now where to start?
Eric had his interview this week. It was a success. We are looking forward to his baptism this week with his niece. She is 8 years old. It is going to be an exciting day. We will be held of Friday because I have to go to Bacolod of Friday to get fingerprinted. Darn. That is 8+ hours of travel and 480 pesos just to be fingerprinted. I wish it could be a different day then Saturday. Oh well. Makalua are doing great. They are more active then most of the members. We taught them on Saturday and yesterday. They are a great family and listen very well. They have taken a love for the church. One wasn't dressing that great but when we taught the Law of Chastity, she immediatly changed. It was a great testimony to me. Jessa we hear is the same. Still haven't been able to go to her because of her aunt. Darn! Mingay we weren't able to go to this week. We found out they are shy of us and want some members with us when we go there. We are going to coordinate with our branch first counsilor and the district president, because they know them, to going there with us. Julie Ann is going good. She is a little scared to be baptized because she says she doesn't know it is true yet. We are trying to fix that quick so she can be baptized on Oct. 19. She has been to church enough now to be baptized though. This week we did a lot of finding. We went through the previous investigators and got some names to visit. We started to visit them and are starting to teach some of them again. We also started teaching some new investigators that we found. It is good because we were getting low on investigators. That is what we did this week.
We just found out last week that Elder Neil L. Andersen of the quorum of the twelve will be coming here on Nov. 2. We are looking forward to listening to him and learning from him. It is cool because that is 2 weeks after Elder Nielson. We are very excited for that.
As far as weather, it was good except for Saturday. It hit us hard on Saturday.It was like being under a small waterfall and we were outside in it!!! It wasn't fun but we couldn't do anything about it.
I think that is about it.
Love you all,
Elder Nielsen
