So I got a package from home from my wonderful Parents :) We had a party for my 6 Months with Rice Krispy Treats and Mashed Potatoes that I missed sooo much :) Anyway, things are going good in our area. We have a few IBD's, but most of them did not come to church this Sunday. This was really disappointing :( Everybody is in the field harvesting the palay or rice plants. Either that or drying it out on the concrete. They just put the rice in the middle of the street to dry, when it rains its not good for the palay so we always hurry and help people scoop it back in :) Oh I forgot, HAPPY FAMILY WEEK!! So this week is family week and we had a big celebration. The Agular District had a parade and a big event with the congressmen and everything. We couldn't join the parade but we went to the event. It was cool to hear the congressman talk about the missionaries. He looked and me and my companion and said, "Give them a round of applause they are doing more work for the families here than I could ever do." He then saluted us. IT just goes to show even nonmembers with high authority jobs respect us :) Pretty cool huh?!?
Like I said earlier, things are going good. Me and my companion are really starting to figure out how each other teaches and its brought the spirit in our lessons. My soul hungers for those experiences with the spirit and with Investigators feeling the spirit. I know that it is the spirit that does the converting nothing of what I say matters unless I have the spirit. :) I have started to realize the greater importance of the Plan of Salvation and what I am doing here on the Mission. Its all part of a greater Plan. He is the hand guiding my actions and I can feel it everyday as I talk to people. :) So here is my scripture for this week, Alma 7:23. These are the Characteristics of a True Disciple of Christ. This week was a great great week!! :) My saying is I took a few steps towards my Heavenly Father Today whether big or small I am headed in the right direction :)
