It's a rainy day here in San Pablo and I am SO grateful for it. There have been some super hot days and I am just really not looking forward to the heat. It is nice to be able to sleep without the fan on full blast.
This week has been great. Of course full of ups and downs, but Sister Mann and I worked really hard this week and the effects of that were amazing. We had GREAT numbers this week and we just worked as hard as we could. We were able to find 8 new investigators(people interested in hearing about our church) and 70 OYMs (open your mouths),and18 lessons. It was such a good week. Sister Mann seriously is exactly what I needed and what this area needed. We are going to have a great transfer.
The members love us too. We don't have to come up to them any more to try to get an appointment. They come up to us and say they want to feed us or they have someone they want us to teach. It is a pure miracle. I know it is 100% because WE gave our 101% to the work this week and it feels great.
Our investigators are being converted to. They are reading Ang Aklat ni Mormon and are praying and we got Julie Ann AND Vincent to church this week and I think they had another great time.
We have another sweet lady we are teaching too. Her name is May Ang and she is the one that is from my first area. She definitely trusts us a lot and felt like she could open up about some of the problems she is having with her husband. We were able to just do our best to give her some scriptures to read and really just be someone she could talk to. We have been really praying for her. She is so amazing and we really hope the best for her. She also told us she really wants to come to church with us next week!!!!
I love being a missionary. Last night while I was trying to fall a sleep my shirt felt weird, and I realized that it was because my name tag wasn't on. I thought about putting it on because it did feel really weird without it, but then I fell asleep like 2 minutes after. That was a weird ramble, but it makes me very grateful for this opportunity to be a missionary and to wear Christ's name everyday.
Fun facts:
- This week we had a tri-some with one of the sisters going back to Tacloban. She worked with us on Wednesday because their plans changed so they left on Thursday instead of Wednesday. She is a Filipina, so it was SO nice to have a native speaker with us. She was darling.
- The next morning we dropped her off at the mission home and got to eat breakfast there. Yes. I had Fruit Loops and real milk! They live large at the mission home. Plus we got to hang out with president for a few minutes after. Sister Mann and I then headed back home. I felt spoiled.
- We were walking down the road and this younger boy sees me and starts singing "You're sexy and you know it". Hahahaha I couldn't hold in my laughter. It was priceless.
- Our ward mission leader taught the investigators class yesterday in church and one of the other ward members went to it with us. The WML(ward mission leader) asked him something along the line of "what is one of the commandments that we need to follow to use the atonement in our lives?" The ward member (he is almost 30 I think and not married yet, so every one always gives him a hard time about it) says, "magbasa", which means "to read". The WML turns to write it on the board but instead of writing "magbasa", he wrote "mag-asawa" which means "to marry". ha ha! We all just died laughing. It was seriously the funniest thing.
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Mecham
