October 12, 2014

Mayung Aga!

The sun is actually shining today, which has been a nice change after this past week. It's been raining all week, a constant down-pour, and I've broken two umbrellas because of it but that's what life in the Philippines is. It's been a little difficult working but we've tried to make it work. The storm has moved out of the Philippines supposedly, so this week should be hot and sunny per usual. Everything has been so wet, slippery, and muddy while working, I even fell once, but we're both still alive and healthy!

This past weekend has been so spiritually overwhelming and exciting. We were able to watch the general conference sessions, and all the messages were so inspiring and great. Before conference Saturday morning, we had our zone baptism which was actually a really cool experience. R got baptized along with the rest of the baptismal candidates in the zone. R is 14, and basically found us. He's actually been going to church and activities for the past couple of months, but we didn't even know. But then we actually met him a couple of weeks ago, and now he's a member!  He's a boy that really needs the direction and purpose that the gospel brings into our life. He's so smart and will be a great future missionary!

This upcoming week we also have Sister L's baptism! We had an amazing lesson with her this past week, and she basically asked us when the soonest she could get baptized. She's the mother of all of our recent converts, and seeing them all at church together is so great. We had FHE this past weekend at their house, along with the other recent converts in the area, and it's always so great seeing all of these families now united through the gospel. 

It's been a pretty good week, despite the rain. Tomorrow we have our zone conference at the mission home, so we've had one exciting and extended weekend :)

Send all my love to the family! Especially Grandma Fitz and Grandpa Bodily!

Sister Fitz
