That is crazy! So much change happening so fast... Hard to take in. But this is a good change, right? Something that should happen, so that we can grow more and become better. So fast!
I did have a good week, and I loved being able to talk to everyone!
Christian Leynes is a Recent Convert, meaning he has not yet been a member for a whole year. He is really cool, and works with us the most of anyone else here. He said that he sent that a long time ago, so when he told me you answered the other day we were both really surprised, haha!
This week, Elder Olsen had some problems with his skin, like an allergy to his bag or something... It looked really painful, but the medicine we bought got it under control really fast. Because of this, we were only able to work so much... But the work we did have was awesome! We had a random Lady come to church, just because "She felt like she needed to go to church here". We found some more New Investigators to replace the old ones who have started to fall away, and all in all it was a really good week! But for specific miracles... I can't think of anything...
I asked Elder Olsen what the funniest thing that happened this was... He said it was when he broke the hammock and almost fell off the porch, but he didn't think that was very funny when it happened, haha! I think the funniest thing it when I go see Elder Rodgers in Mariveles. We went down this morning to lift and play Basketball before the transfer, and once we got back to their apartment, he gave us some of his protein shake and a cliff bar. That might not sound funny to you, but it just reminded me so much of football and basketball seasons, and then we all started talking about high school and what we are going to do when we get home... Here we had four American's, all about five hours from each other, sitting in the Philippines talking about high school... Crazy, right!? What a small world...
The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to pray... I don't think I've gotten to that one yet in my listening... But it makes me think of 3rd Nephi. 19. This is the second day that Jesus comes to the Nephites. The disciples had been busy all night, 'noising' around the message of the restored Savior. When it came to morning, they divided the enormous group of people into 12 groups, so that the disciples could re-teach the things Jesus had taught the day before. Then, the disciples got everyone together, and they all started praying. They prayed for a long time. But after that, the disciples received the Holy Ghost, and baptized everyone. Angels then appeared to the people, ministering to the disciples. Jesus himself arrives, and commands the multitudes to begin to pray. He then goes by himself, prays to God for the people, and when he comes back, they are still praying! I love what the Savior says in verse 26; "And Jesus said unto them; Pray on" After this happened, the Nephites became a 'white and chosen people', who had more faith than the Jews. Jesus then goes and prays again to God, and thanks Him for the blessing of these faithful Nephites. That story is just what came to mind when I say the title of the talk, I hope that helps!
Love you too!
