Hello, Everyone!

It's been a good week! I've really enjoyed training for these last two weeks. That's probably because I have the best trainee ever! Sister Asug is already teaching in Waray Waray! She still uses Tagalog, but she's learned so much faster than I thought she would! It is pretty funny though how diverse my languages are. We were riding on a trike and I started talking to the driver. Turns out he worked in Cebu so he knows Cebuano! So I started talking to him in Cebuano, he answers in Waray, and my companion speaks to him in Tagalog. I just chuckled a bit to myself because it was just so weird that we were speaking 3 different languages but we could all understand. Gotta love the gift of tongues!

Anyway, this week, Sister Asug committed this sister, Sister Arlyn, to baptism this week! She was really nervous, especially since she committed her in Waray, but she did great, and she accepted! We're preparing her for baptism on October 11. = She's really good! She has a daughter who is active and she had already come a couple times before we were able to teach her! She came again this week. We actually had 3 investigators come this week. Training is funny because I was more excited to see Sister Asug's reaction than I was about them being there. (Not that I wasn't excited about them being there.) She just lit up! We also had one sister and her mom come back too.. She's been inactive since April. But she was there! Sister Asug was really excited because last week the attendance was 45 and this week it was 61. We just have to keep being diligent and obedient and I know we can make miracles happen here. This week we have members scheduled to work with us every day! (:

Mom! I forgot to tell you last week! I got your package! Thank you so so so much! It was perfect!! I am now very loved by those who live in my apartment. We made the Pasta Roni and it was perfect because this recent convert always brings us seafood (her husband's a fisherman) so we put fresh shrimp in it too! It was really good! Thank you! You're such a good package sender! 

Okay, I think that's all for this week! I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week!
