Dear Family and Friends,
It's been another great, hot week here in Lucena. It seemed like one of those dead weeks where everything just seemed to be happening a little slower, but we were still able too see a lot of miracles. The heat continues to get hotter, and we're really thankful for any opportunity that we can get to take a break and share a message with someone. I never thought that part of my motivation to find would be the opportunity to sit in the shade for 20 minutes. Also, it's pretty customary here in the Phillipines to give your guests a little snack. This usually ends up being soda and some kind of bread or crackers. We got to have a lot of orange soda and cookies this past week.
The current training plan for the mission is focused on charity and the atonement. The objective is that once we realize what charity truly is and how we can obtain charity through the atonement, our only desire will be to share that knowledge with others. My companion and I definitely had the opportunity to share that charity with others as a lot of our appointments fell through and we were able to find new people to share with.
The family that I talked about last week came to church again last week, and they said that they're back for good. The father was interviewed last week so he can start working towards getting the Melchizedek Priesthood, so that was definitely a miracle for us. We're really happy for how much he will be able to bless and help his family.
Everything else is going well. My companion's getting down to his last few weeks in the mission, but we're not even really thinking about it since we both know that we're close to the end. Thanks for all of your continued support and advice!
