This week has been great! We have 3 amazing investigators who should be ready for baptism before I leave; June, Dave, and Ricky. I've talked about June before and his goal date is now the first of November, just to make sure he is totally ready. He likes coffee, so we have to wait a couple weeks to make sure he can fully get over it. But he is doing great! He's been sick all week, so he missed church yesterday, and was really concerned about having to wait even longer to be baptized, but we assured him he can still be baptized on the first:)
Dave is still doing great. He's pretty cute, and is also anxious to be baptized. He keeps asking us when, but he hasn't been reading and praying everyday and church is not his favorite, so we have gone back to the very basics again and now he understands he needs to come to church. We are going to make him a calendar so that he can mark the days he reads and prays and Sundays when he comes to church to get him more excited about it.

And Ricky. We found him a few weeks ago. He lives by 2 members and he has progressed SO quickly. He is 30 and still single. Every time we teach, he is just so open about how he wants to change his life and repent and really just come to Christ. He came to church yesterday and you can just see how he is changing. He is very serious about being baptized and so ready to change. His goal date is November 15.
This last week has been really good though. Our mission is really changing our visions and doing more. There are companionships talking to over a hundred people each week!! It is SO cool to hear the experiences that president shares to us. There is so much work to do here in the Philippines and you can really feel the mission shifting to higher goals and visions. I love being apart of it at this time. Next week, we start using new planners and it is my last planner, but I love having these new goals in the mission, because I feel like the whole mission, especially myself, is going to finish so much higher. I love it.
This week we also will get to see conference! Last Saturday was the women's meeting and it was great, except the stake told everyone the wrong time, so we got there half way through the meeting. There were some serious technical difficulties, as they tried to fix it, they had byutv on so I may or may not have watched some of the byu vs usu game. That was weird to see football again. I hope next week for general conference there are no weird delays so we can all just go and focus on the spirit:)
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Sister Mecham
