New Area President Visit

This was a great week for us. We have been so blessed this week. Our work went great and our leadership meeting was really good this time.
I will first talk about our investigators and how they are progressing.
We saw Albert as we were walking home on Tuesday so we talked to him very fast, it was almost time to be home, and he said we could talk with him on Saturday. We kept going back to him but his family says he hasn't come home for 4 days. No one seems to know where he went. We just hope he will come back some time so we can help him. Reca is good for this Saturday!!! We are excited to have a baptism again. She is so good. She has came and worked with us a couple of times even. It will be a great baptism. Next we will have Chienna. She will be on May 17. She came back from vacation so she is good to go. She came to church and that is when we found out that she was back. We are so excited. Next we should have Armando. He is with one of our recent converts. He is doing great but we need to talk to his sister if he can be baptized or not. We are hoping to talk to her soon so we can baptized him on May 24. After that we aren't sure what will happen. We had 7 investigators at church so we are expecting a lot to come. Roy was one of our investigators at church. We haven't taught him yet but we are planning this week because we have seen a great desire. His mom might be a problem but we aren't to worried about it. We haven't seen Macmac this week. He hasn't been home so maybe next week we will see him.
Our leadership meeting with Elder Ardern, the new area president, was really good. He actually didn't teach us much. He talked a little about doing great things and showed us how our mission has improved so much in one year and then he spent a lot of his time asking questions trying to figure out what other missions in the Philippines could do to improve because our mission is doing so well. The work is hastening very quickly here in Bacolod. Elder Ardern wants the whole Philippines to do the same. I learned a lot about leadership from him and being humble. Sometimes we are put in leadership positions but we also have to be able to learn from those that we are put over. He gave a great example of that. We can learn something from everyone.
Those are the big things for this week. We will be giving a training this next week and then we will have a training with President Lopez. It will be a great week.
Love you,
Elder Nielsen
