Well family this week has
been interesting and a huge eye opener about this area. We have been
working hard to build more relationships with the members, Less Actives,
and Investigators. Honestly if they don't feel like you care about
them, there is no point to teach them! We are representatives of Jesus
Christ and we need to make sure we are showing his love for them! Our
investigators are doing alright, but the instant weather change from
cold to hot is making people sick and none of our investigators came to
church... We will work on that.
Well this week had exciting things that I ate like cow skin, which
is good but not preferable for me! I had a sup-as that had mini squids
in it, it was good but kind of gave me a bit of a stomachache still
awesome! I learned how to cook some great meals by Elder Dalumpines! I
will be a chef when I get home! Heather will like that I think ;)
So our investigator H didn't go to church, but she is doing way
better then I thought! We asked how her reading was going in the Book
of Mormon, she said it is going alright. We asked where she read and she
said Helaman, we thought she was just randomly reading through where
ever like most investigators. The next lesson we asked again and she
said she only read 2 or 3 chapter sense 2 days ago!! We then asked if
she start from the beginning she said YES!! What?? I have never seen
that my whole mission! We gave her the Book of Mormon less then a month
ago and she is 3/4ths of the way through!! I had to make sure she knew
that that is the coolest thing I have ever seen and she was a bit
confused so I think we need to talk about the importance of the Book of
Mormon in more depth! I am just pumped for that!
Well other then that nothing much more exciting happened. Oh my
companion used Filipino methods to heal my athletes foot and it is
almost fully gone! He really rocks! I am learning more how the culture
works through him and it makes me feel so much more useful here! I feel
like I could teach an American what some plants do and how things work!
I love it!
Well it has been hard... But my birthday rocked due to the fact
that all of Bacolod was having a fiesta that day! Woohoo! Everyone
celebrates my birthday ;) I am so happy and excited to keep working and
learning more! Glad to see you are all happy and doing well! You are all
in my prayers! I love you and miss you!!
Love,
Elder Minson
