Week 93, October 20 - October 26, 2014

Hey there,

Its been a good week, we are doing well and feeling healthy. Its been so strange to see the days go by so quickly, we are working hard as we can, and helping to get the Moran's up to speed, Nothing too eventful happened, Its kind of a blessing when its like that, I think i'm so constantly engulfed in these great days filled with the spirit that they all blend into one.

The ward here in Alaminos is so great, it has so much potential, but its going through a little bit of a lull in attendance and general good spirits right now, yesterday we were down to 4 in attendance in the Elders quorum with the Elder's Quorum President and his first councilor both absent, so last week with the help of Bishop Baliwas, the bishop here, we didn't teach from the manual but spent the entire hour of Elders quorum talking with the 4 active Elder's here about how we could get the others back. It took them a little while to understand the concept of planning out specific visits and counseling about specific names, but by the end of the hour we had 6 specific names of those who they felt we should start with in reactivation efforts as a quorum along with specific days, times, companionships and plans on how we were going to get out and see these 6 Elders this week. It will take some effort, but it's a start of a good thing here, I can feel it. 

I had the opportunity this week to schedule the trip for our batch to Immigration in Manila and the prayer has been answered, were going to the temple on the 27th of November! I'm so excited!

I found a Preach My Gospel in spanish and I've taken up learning it again. It's coming back slowly.

I love you all

The gospels true, live it!
