| this is the front room of our house at different angles. I went to keep taking pictures but my camera died and i am not sure where my camera charger is.. I need to look for it :) I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere :) |
This week has been good!! A little up and down and I'm sorry I don't have a ton of time, but I just want to tell you a few things that are good.
We have a couple referrals from a couple of our recent converts that are starting to progress :) It really is true when they have someone so close that actually referred them to the missionaries, They actually seem to want it more and be a little more interested. I love it so much!! Hopefully next week they come to church with them :)
Then yesterday the other sisters had a baptism (cute and funny story). We went through the whole program and at the end they announce the closing song and closing prayer, we sing and then the sister (who is an older lady) goes up to give the closing prayer and we all close our eyes and we hear "maayong aga brothers and sisters" which means good morning brothers and sisters then she starts baring her testimony and crying of how she remembers her baptism. Then Bishop kind of stopped her after a minute and said can you pray for us? It was kind of funny but so cute!! She was so full of the spirit she wanted to testify also of what she was feeling :) She was, i believe, the aunt of the brother who just returned from being less active last month, received the priesthood last week and baptized his wife and two children. It was so incredible to see! I love it :)
We also sang at the baptism, us 4 missionaries and in sacrament. It was kind of a cool experience. We sang a childs prayer at the baptism and then love at home in sacrament meeting. We sang the last verse of love at home in ilonggo as well. I love the hymns in Ilonggo they are cool. :)
Anyways, the work is still going and I love seeing people change their lives for the better! Especially Robert who is in Iloilo and was worried about missing church but He is incredible and still doing wonderful :) They also went to church in Iloilo :)
Well I love you family so much!! Keep up the amazing work!! :) I love you all!! Keep being amazing!! :) This work is real and the church is true!! and as the Filipinos would say, I know the book is blue :) But for me, I know the Book of Mormon is true!! :) It helps me everyday!! The Atonement is so real and true as well!! I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. :) Have a wonderful week!! :)
Love, Sister Smoot
