im in Guimaras. A little island below iloilo...i had to take a boat
ride to get here so that was interesting and it was right during the
day of holy week where Christ was crucified...so it was a popular day.
Um my new companion is Elder Farnsworth...who actually trained someone
from my batch. But yah and so im officially not a greenie anymore
because im in my second area :) so thats pretty crazy. The aprtment is
way nice. Theres nice tile in everyroom and the shower has the option
of hot water...which i wont really use too much...just maybe to make
the water slightly warmer then freezing cold lol. Um but yah so
transferes were way unexpected for me. But im here and its not too
bad. Um sorry about the way short post from last week.
Last week was pretty much a few parties and good byes and then a fun
exchange with a flood and being drenched form head to foot literally.
And a lot of pictures :)
This week we watched general confrence and it was cool to see the
messages the living apostles and prophet had for us. They had some
awesome messages that were way cool and definaltely built up my
testimony of this church even more. Like the story of a man who was in
Haiti when the earthquake hit and he and his wife were out working and
their kids were in the apaprtment building with a babysitter. So he
and his wife rushed to thier home to find it completly demolished and
thier little children werent out. So the man says a prayer that at
least one of his children would be spared if its Gods will and with
tears in his eyes still. He begins looking and as the search party
looks they hear some crying and he recognizes it as his baby. Then a
little while later they hear some singing and find his son who was
singing his favorite song...i am a child of God..They find all three
of the mans children alive and well. Although the mans sons has to
lose his arm. To me that story was truly a testimony that God answers
prayers and that He still does miracles today. This is truly an
amazing story of faith. That was one of my favorite stories.
Hope you all had a an awesome Easter this sunday :)
This work is true :) The joys of a mission.
