Mayung aga!
It's been an interesting week, but a good week. It's rained
all week which makes proselyting really hard. It started last Monday. All day
during preparation day it was fine. We wash our garments in the afternoon and I
told sister maybe it'll rain so we'll hang them up inside to dry so they don't
get wet. Then five minutes later, it starts to barely sprinkle. And then we
leave a little before six, just barely sprinkling. We get on the tryke to take
us to the highway to catch a jeep to our area, and then it starts down pouring.
As in, downpouring. So then we get off the tryke half-way soaked already and
run to hide under the waiting shed. The thundering is so loud, and then you can
see the lightning bolts strike. It was Sister Vaitohi's first real rainstorm.
But since then, it's rained the whole week. Which sometimes makes it hard to
proselyte, at least to find. But we're trying. We just baptized the last of our
progressing investigators, so I think the next month is going to be a little
rough because we kind of need to start over with the whole finding process, but
I think we'll be okay. But speaking of baptism, it was J and V's baptism this past weekend. It was so great even though it was kind of small
event. It's kind of fun being with a new missionary, because I notice things
that she points out that I feel like are just so common now. I've forgotten
what's normal and what's different here in the Philippines. But they shared
their testimonies and of course I teared up. It's always such a humbling
experience being a missionary, and teaching the gospel.
Also
yesterday at church, Elder and Sister Mower came. Elder Mower told us that he
went up to Brother V and said sorry that they couldn't make his baptism a
couple of weeks ago, but then Brother V said "It's okay, you can just
come to our sealing next year." They're seriously the best family
ever. Brother V already is in Moses, he already finished the D & C and
the Book of Mormon.
I love you all!
Sister Fitzgerald
