2015-05-03 - Sampaloc work and the Game Show Contestants

Fun! So I can probably arrange my schedule so that I can Skype around 9 or 10 Philippines time. Plan on me to call at that time. I am looking forward to it. Be prepared and write down your questions for me so you don’t forget. So we can use our time wisely... haha I'll tell you how it is going in the city. Also, my companion is transferring. I am staying here. I just know that I am staying here. I don’t know who my companion is. It is really sad though, we had a really great time together and I learned so much from him! So give my regards to grandpa, I hope he gets better soon!!  I myself am doing very good here.

We had a very cool experience yesterday. So basically everyone in the Philippines is christian, I have taught one muslim, but other than that everyone I have ever taught has been "christian" haha sometimes they dont understand what that means. But yesterday a member brought his friend to church with him, and we taught him. This kid told us he was Atheist, and the member that brought him just thought that he wasn't going to take church seriously, but after sacrament meeting, the member said that he had to leave after sacrament meeting, but when sacrament meeting got done, his friend didnt want to leave! He was like this is great, I want to keep on learning! So we finished church and taught him, and it was one of the best lessons I have had in my mission! We never know who is ready for the gospel! I also testify that working with members is the only way to go, It is so much more effective!

I love you guys and look forward to seeing you on Monday! Well in Filipino time, haha

So these guys are two returned missionaries that entered into this huge game show called Foreighnoy. which is a show where they take foreighners who speak Tagalog, and they compete. The one with blonde hair was 3rd place, they went to church on sunday in the singles ward.
