I like to look for rainbows




hmmmm. As soon as I start to type these things my brain goes blank.

Anyways this week we started working with the best member missionary EVER!!!! He's a Philippines pioneer! He was baptized in 1981. Every time we go to his house he has new people for us to teach. This week he's given us like 10 or something referrals and then went with us to teach them! His testimony is so strong and he's probably a better teacher than we are. Plus they're all SUPER RECEPTIVE. Member missionaries are like angels from heaven. Plus he has his personal study hanging on the walls in his house and it's amazing. He's a rockstar. 

I had exchanges this week with Sister Young and Sister Sta Barbara and they're both the best. I'm so blessed to be able to work with so many sisters I learn so much from them. 


Nicole is also keeping up her member missionary work with every kid she knows in her neighborhood. We can barely fit inside their house to teach them all anymore. Pretty soon we're going to have to move the beach. And Tatay Randy is still the best ever because he's still there for every lesson. We're focusing on his son now but he's pretty shy to come to church. We need to find him a buddy. Send some prayers for Radjie. 

We're teaching one nanay named Diolinda (Jolinda) and she's like my favorite person to teach because she has the most sincere questions. Three of her children have passed away and we started teaching her with the plan of salvation because she asked us where they were. Then we started teaching the Restoration and asked us what apostles are and what they're supposed to do and then she asked why there are so many churches on the earth. She came to church this Sunday and LOVED IT! She made like 25 friends right away she's so famous haha. I know that Heavenly Father really works with His children and gives them those inspired questions and prepares them. 

This is from the beginning of Preach my Gospel 
 
"You are surrounded by people. You pass them on the street, visit them in their homes, and travel among them. They are all children of God, your brothers and sisters. God loves them just as He loves you. Many of these people are searching for purpose in life. They are concerned for their future and their families. They need the sense of belonging that comes from the knowledge that they are children of God, members of His eternal family. They want to feel secure in a world of changing values. They want “peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come” (Doctrine and Covenants 59:23), but they are “kept from the truth because they know not where to find it” (Doctrine and Covenants 123:12)".

I know it's true and I'm so grateful to witness God every single day.  Before we arrive he's already been there. Never doubt that he's working with those we love preparing them to receive what they already accepted once before.  


I love you! Happy fishing!
