well this week was sad, boring, boring sad and ugh.. haha nothing really exciting happened. our investigators arent coming to church or our lessons! i wanna punch them in the throat!!! we taught a man called E. this week, he is 54, 5'4" and not afraid to die. Did i mention he isnt afraid to die? he told us like 7 times. ha he is an interesting man. we started teaching him and he acts like your typical stoned person. he was sooo weird. we had to repeat ourselves like 288 times! he is just super slow and stuff. but he promised us he would come to church which was nice to hear. LO and Behold, No E. at church.... hmmm.. also our star baptismal candidate has been hiding from us for some time. people are progressing nicely up until they have to put their faith to the test and come to church.
One good thing of this week is that we got an awesome referral from our 1st councelors daughter! we went and visited her and she was super duper happy that we came! it was sooo nice. she looks really promising.
We had a normal turnout for sacrament yesterday, and we actually had some less actives that we have been working with show up.
we went to ormoc today to go to the doctor cuz elder wood cant hear. he just said that he had some inflammation and prescribed some ear drops.
umm i finally got your package, and let me tell you, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks sooo much the boms (books of mormon) are great!! all the toys are super fun! and the food is great!!!
so the best part of the week was prolly splitz. i went on splitz in my area with our new zone leader. he is samoan and speaks cebuano, warai warai and some tagalog. he isnt perfect in them all, but he is proficient. he has one normal eye and one craaaazy eye. haha its super funny, he is a real cool kid. we had a good day, and i felt pretty comfortable in my area alone. we had a great family home evening with some less actives. lemme tell ya bout them.... so Bro. C. he has been a member for a super long time but started to fall away when a neighbor church decided to make him a leader. so he is a leader for the Couples for Christ church here. it baffles me cuz he has a testimony of everything of our church but chooses to go to the other cuz he is a leader there. soooooo dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!
my hair. my hair is super. my hair is blonde. everyone and their dog asks me to cut my hair and give it to them so they can sell it. cuz its GOLD! people often ask me if im swedish. ha funny. but oh well.
well until next time. i hope you write tons. i miss you so much.
Love
Christian
