Hello Everyone!! Happy Pioneer Day!! This week went by so fast but was so much fun! I love being here in Bangued so much.
I also love being with Elder Jenson and living with Elder Hennessey and Campbell, it makes life fun!
This week was awesome. I cant really explain everything that we did but Ill try and give an update on some people that we have been teaching!
We taught almost every single discussion this week with a member of the Church with us. It was awesome. The people here are so willing to work with the missionaries and it makes life alot easier having someone who speaks Ilokano with us.
We are teaching a man named Alex who is about 30. He was paralyzed about 4 years ago after he was shot in the back from a gambling situation gone wrong. Since then, hes been able to get enough power in his legs to get from one side of his room to the other on his own. BUT! We have been reading the Book of Mormon with him about 3 days a week and we read 1 Nephi Chapter 8 on Friday.
If you haven't read Chapter 8 of 1 Nephi, read it! It is super good and helps explain how we can overcome satans temptations. He talked about how when in the mists of darkness, if we hold on to the Word of God, we can make it through. But we cant leave the word for a night and expect to know exactly where it is the next day while in darkness. I loved his initial though. And yesterday at church, he called us and told us "come outside and help me get in!" so we both ran out and there he was by the gate! It was super cool to see him and he said that he'll see us back at the gate next Sunday.
San Antonio is also as awesome as ever! So many people we confused at the sight of 2 missionaries walking around but now we have been able to break down barriers with them and help them understand our purpose as missionaries.
I am sorry that this email is short! The shop we are in is taking a while to load up and wont send pictures either so I will send them next week! Love you all! Have a great week :)
