When Holden gets home, tell him I say Kamusta! Masaya ako dito sa Pilipinas! Walong buwan na! Matanda na ako sa mission! Pero namatay ka na! Sayang! Malungkot iyan! Pero kapag uuwi ako, magsasalita tayo ng Tagalog!
Anyways, that is weird to think that he is already home! I still remember the day when he got his mission call, and I was like wow, that language looks soo hard haha. but now I can manage! That would be cool if we crossed paths in Manila! I am guessing he is taking a flight to Manila before he leaves, so who knows, anything could happen! And as for handwritten letters, that would be nice, but you dont have to write them I like to focus on my mission... haha no just, kidding, I would love them! but I wont write back, that is way too much time!
Right now I am really learning time management! There is soooo much do be done, and so little time to do it, you really have to choose between good uses of time, and the best uses of time. So I have really been trying to have the best uses of my time here in my new area. It is weird, time goes by so much faster in this area, it is ridiculous! I am so filled with activities! and I have realized how much faster the work of salvation is when members are involved!
This week we had two complete families at sacrament meeting! One is the Colliantes family! He is a refferal that the old Elder's in this area went to once but decided to never go back, so last month we followed up and taught the father many times. they have three kids, 8 5 and 4 or something like that. Anyways, he showed up late, but he brought his whole family! wife, and kids! I had never met his wife before because she is always at work, but they all just showed up which was great! The second family is the Morales family! The father is a member but his wife is not. They were taught once before I got here. The kids are all young like 5 4 2 and 1 I think. Anyways, they were all together at church too. Then we had a man who a member brought, that we met not too long ago. And two friends of a recent convert. They are just 12 years old though and their parents aren't too interested.
Anyways, this week was great, we have also been setting and hitting our goals which I think is really good and Important. Anyways, Love you guys, dont worry about me, and I hope the package comes soon! We also have zone conference with President Ostler tomorrow which is very exciting! Love you!
Nathan’s Letter to his Mission PresidentDear President Ostler,
This week we had two complete families at sacrament meeting! One is the Colliantes family! He was a referral right before I got here so last month we followed up and taught the father many times. They have three kids, 8 5 and 4. Anyways, he showed up late, but he brought his whole family to church! Wife, and kids! I had never met his wife before because she is always at work, but they all just showed up which was great! The second family is the Morales family! The father is a member but his wife is not. The kids are all young like 5, 4, 2, and 1 I think. They were all together at church too. Then we had a man who a member brought, that we met not too long ago. And two friends of a recent convert. They are just 12 years old though and their parents aren't too interested, but we will continue to follow up with them. Needless to say, it was a great week!
Elder Briskin is making improvement on Tagalog every week, but I think I need to be more patient with him. I have been pushing him hard. I talked to him about what I can do to help him more, and help him relieve his stress level, and he told me that I just need to relieve my stress level and that would help him out. I think that my stress has been rubbing off on him and that is part of the reason he gets stressed. So this week I'm going to stay as cool as a cucumber. That is my goal! I really feel like we do have a strong relationship, but with these things it will get better. I am very excited for zone meeting tomorrow! Goodbye President Ostler! Love you and I'll see you tomorrow!
