I
can't believe another week has past. Time is going by so fast. This
week overall has been good. Some ups and downs but I'm doing okay now so hopefully it will stay that way the rest of the
week.
This
past week we had follow-up training with everyone from my batch. It was
so fun seeing everyone. I feel like there's almost a
special bond between all of us, maybe because we're all experiencing the
joys of mission life together, or maybe because we're all experiencing
the struggles of mission life together but
regardless, everyone seemed so happy, which is how it should be.
The
Philippines also created a new requirement for our visas, so all of
us Americans had to go the mission office on Saturday to get
fingerprinted. It was basically a mission reunion because there was
probably about 100 missionaries just talking, waiting to get
fingerprinted.. But what was fun was that outside there was SportsFest
for the youth in our stake, where they had their cheer/dancing
competition. It was so fun to watch, especially because
there's this boy in our ward and he's the one
that choreographed and taught our ward, so Sister Bendoy and I have been
wanting see him cheer forever, and then we finally got our chance.
Our
missionary work is starting to progress more than it has in the past.
This past week we've really focused on trying to find new families and
investigators to teach, and one mom and her daughter even came to church
this past week! A, the father of the YSA member in our ward who
we've been teaching should also get baptized this month. He's come to
church the past month and this past week during one of our lessons, he
bore his testimony to us saying he knows that the church and Book of Mormon is true.
We have general
conference next Saturday and Sunday! I'm so excited. There's something
so special and spiritual about conference. I think about when we were
younger, and how it was just an excuse to have church in our pajamas on
the couch, but every since freshman year, it's almost the highlight of
my year. I'm so excited.
One
funny story this past week, we were walking through one of the
neighborhoods in our area, and there's this big group of kids just
playing in the road. And then, they all start chanting/screaming "Cana,
cana, cana!" which is short for Americans. So basically, I had to walk
through a group of thirty kids, all screaming at me. It was funny.
I
love you all. I never can think of what to write in these letters but
know that I'm happy, and this next week I'll try to write specific
things downs so I know what to share to you!
xoxo,
Sister Fitz
