363 days left! We have hit a one year mark!!!

Dear mom,

This week was zone meeting and stake conference. Tuesday, we started the day with our zone meeting. It took forever. after that, we had choir practice. My zone was the choir for an RM reunion. We sang a song called How great will be your joy. It was pretty bad... we are not great singers.. i wish i was talented with singing.... hehe  so wednesday and thursday were pretty much normal days. Thursday, we planned to visit Brother P. We got to his house and he was outside without a shirt. Probably working on his garden. anyways, he shouted at us as he saw us and it was the wierdest thing... i dont know how to describe the way of his shout... it was as if he was drunk... so my companion and i looked at each other and said, "i hope he is not drunk".... we walked up to his door and luckily for us, he was sober. he shouted cuz he said he missed us so much. we then had our lesson and talked about conference and just kinda reviewed it. then friday, we had a buch of people over at our house. almost the whole zone slept in our apartment. it was fun. one of my batch, Elder Leutze was there. his father sent him a package for his one year. we played with the balloons and streamers... we then tried to buy some banana bread but bought the wrong kind and we were kinda disappointed.. then the APs came and slept over too. it was a big party! both the APs have been my zone leaders and im pretty close with both of them. Saturday, we worked with the APs and got soaked by the rain. sunday, we had our stake conference. President andaya and his wife spoke, also the 2nd councelor from the Cebu temple presidency came. it was nice. 

Ok.... here is the bad news... Brother P. didnt show up to stake conference. He told us he had a three day all day shift for work and couldnt leave. but at his house he told us he would be coming to church. It was a really hard day. i was really really sad that he didnt come. Especially cuz President was there and ready to interview him. So on Nov 2 President is coming back up for Zone interviews and hopefully, he will be able to make that date as well.

well Ill tell you this.. This week was a real Testimony builder for me. I prayed  and prayed for help with several people in my area, and literally less than five minutes after my prayers, they were answered. Holy cow. it is so cool when your prayer is answered almost instantaneously. I know that  God DOES answer prayers. like it says in James 1:5 ask God, and he will give to all men liberally. God will answer prayers.

well i hope you have a great week. and continue in the faith.

I love you.

Christian
