My dear Family,
Well
its down to 5 as of Thursday. I just can't believe that it has gone this
quickly but I have no time to slow down and think of that cause our
area needs some help. This week was super good and we were able to get
alot done and really learn the ins and outs of our area.
Tuesday
was district meeting and we were able to go over what the first steps
to being a people person are. It went really well that is one thing that
our district is working on is trying to talk to more people and get out
there. I have been working on helping my bata talk to as many people as
he can. That is one of the biggest things we are working on is trying
to help all the people we meet when we are out working.
Wednesday
we headed out early to one of the farthest villages in our area. It
went great, I am slowly starting to pick up this new language and my
Tagalog is really coming along now. The Lord is giving and I am taking
for as long as he will let me have it. Me and the comp were able to
teach a great lesson about temples to our recent convert family. It was a
miracle when the mom who has not been very interested the past lessons
picked her head up and asked about temples and if family's can really be
forever. I almost fell over and we taught her a fast lesson about
forever families. It was so sick and me and the comp jumped after the
lesson. The rain came down after the lesson and we got trapped in a less
actives house for about two hours. It was crazy to say the least.
Thursday
we were tracting all day and I am happy to say that we found a new
family the DeJesus family was ready for the gospel. And it turns out
that they are the first cousins of some of the members in the ward. The
rest of the day was full of teaching Less actives and trying to find as
many new people as we can.
Saturday
and Sunday just whipped by and before you know it we are to Monday. But
we had a great turnout for church and in the end it was a great day. I
can't believe how many members are active and come to church every week
in this ward. I am loving this time that I have to train and be a
district leader again. As the months roll down I just think about what I
have done on my mission and how much is left to do when I get home.
Love you all and until next week.
Elder Swanton
