HELLO!
This week was another marvelous week!
We
had zone conference this Wednesday and we focused on just being smarter
in the way we proselyte and trying not focus on following up with the
people we find instead of just finding hundreds of people and not being
able to return to all of them to teach. Also Sister Nanlabi bore her
going home testimony and that was so happy but so sad! I'm so grateful
for the eternal friends I've made here in the mission field and I also
wish plane tickets to the Philippines weren't so expensive.
This
Thursday I had exchanges with Sister Regacho! It was super nice
honestly not the be the STL and to be the one getting helped I've really
missed that.
This week I've been focusing on
being super bold with love. Being so plain and simple that the people
we're teaching will know exactly what they need to do and how they can
be blessed and it's bringing really amazing results we have some people
we're teaching that have been being taught for a really really long time
and they're finally starting to act and to realize the importance and
the blessings of living the gospel. A lot of people here have a concern
about coming to work because it means they won't be able to work and the
Book of Mormon is the hero like always we've been using.
3 Nephi 13:31-33
"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you".
It's
been really effective I love the Book of Mormon so much. The word of
God has so much power to help us change our natures. I know that if we
put the Lord first He really will take care of everything else.
Fernando
came to church this Sunday! For real this time! He
was still super
early but this time but he actually came in and he loved church! He's
always following up with us and asking when his baptism is. Also we're
starting to teach his wife now too and she's also so receptive!
This
week we had so many members come out and work with us and all of them
are returned missionaries and the spirit is so strong with them and
they're also really bold with love.
Love you all !!
Sister Zollinger
PS. Anything it takes to help!!!
So Tatay Fernando is learning to live the word of wisdom right now and the other day we had an appointment with him and his wife and when we got there his wife wasn't home yet so we waited for a minute or two and then she came home with the groceries and she has a bottle of rum and I said Nay why do you have that who is it for and she said its for your tatay and I said no he can't drink that its not allowed for him and she said oh really! and I said yeah how much did it cost and she said 25 pesos (50 cents) so I said okay I'll buy it! and so i bought the rum from her and then poured it in the bushes and tatay fernando was laughing the whole time he was happy it was wonderful. And that's the story of how i bought alcohol so that Fernando wouldn't drink
