The big news here in the Philippines is that the Pope came to visit. School was cancelled and he was paraded through Manila. All of the members said that's all that was on TV the whole week. This week our investigators didn't come to church. A member came up to us and said, "Since the Pope is here everyone became catholic again. You can probably get them to come to church in 2 or 3 weeks." Its kind of true though. 90% of the people here are Catholic..... It was crazy. Even members didn't come to church. Our attendance dropped by 30 people....
This week I have also felt that the promises of the Lord are being fulfilled in my life. This week, I have no idea why, but my Tagalog has made leaps and bounds. I know that the Gift of Tongues has been given to me this week. Even my companion said that I am more fluent than I was a week ago...... Vocabulary words just stick and my grammar is like 99% right :)
I am continuing to work hard :) I think that they say I have like 50 days left...... I am not counting but other missionaries are doing it for me.
I love you all :)
Love
Elder Bigelow
