This week has been another good, but ever so sweaty one here in the Philippines. Mother's day was definitely the highlight.
We have been working hard this week, but we are still facing struggles. We have been tracting and tracting and tracting and talking and talking and talking, but we are really hoping that all those people we talked to last week and all the houses we tracted will turn into new investigators this week.
It really was a very normal week here. We had a fiasco though trying to get a hold of Sister Mann's family for mothers day. Western Samoa is not the easiest to get a hold of, but we figured it out and I could tell she was SO happy about it.
Julie Ann and Vincent came to church yesterday, but we weren't able to teach them last night because they were doing other things for mother's day. It was really good to have them at church again. They are great!
May and her asawa are really finally figuring things out, but it is kind of sounding like they might move back to Candelaria to be closer to their familys :/ We will definitely keep teaching her till it's official.
We found a couple new investigators this week and talked to a lot of nanays who are a little crazy...but they are so fun to talk with. Everyone thinks Sister Mann is from the southern islands in the Philippines and they are all obsessed with my nose. Almost everyone we talk to says that they thought sister Mann was a filipina or that they love my nose. Filipinos have tiny little noses, so my huge one seriously just fascinates them. Haha I just love it here!
Any way. My mind is really running blank right now. I think that's pretty much it from here. We did find out today though that Elder Craig Christensen will be coming here on the 27th to talk with us. But the kicker is that only the missionaries within a 2 hr radius of San Pablo are invited. And yours truly is a whopping 10 minutes away. I am excited!
I am glad Heavenly Father kept me here for this transfer. I am really really happy here and again my kasama is the best. She reminds me to be humble and be grateful for all the blessings in my life, and my housemates remind me how to be American and not Samoan or Filipina. Sometimes I forget that I'm white and from America, so I've got them here to remind me how Americans act. I love all of them though!
Life is good and the church is true. I love you all and hope you had a good Mother's day. I love all of you the same and am so glad I have such great support from all of you!
Have a good week :)
Love,
Sister Mecham
