Kamusta?! Hahaha! This week was a blast. Attached are pictures of the week....
Well,
this week, had my first baptismal interview! Lol! And we had it near
the sea! You can see it here though. So neat! Because their house is
neighbors with people who are gambling, so no Spirit for sure. And,
there's someone who is singing karaoke, so we had to find a place where
the Spirit is conducive. And, we went near the sea! Haha... It was a
wonderful and spiritual experience for me...
And, we'll be having a baptism this Saturday! Yay!
The District will be having 5 baptisms so we're happy... Can't wait for
Monday! Haha!
One thing I can't forget this
week is the lesson we learned with regards to planning. We weren't able
to go out last Saturday because I'm not feeling well and we forgot to do
our daily planning. Sunday came and when we went out for work,
everything felt odd. We had a hard time to yield to each other. After 2
lessons, we had the same feeling towards the work so we evaluated while
walking. And we have the same idea in mind why. So, before going to our
last appointment, we planned and discussed a bit and all went well after
that. Now, we can't go out without doing what we should do. The Spirit
is just strong and we really love to have it always because we know it
is the true teacher, we're just instruments for the Spirit to teach and
testify to the people we're teaching. I'm grateful for Elder Abad
because we're so open to teach other. We had a great time with our
companionship inventory this week.
Well, I'm learning my weaknesses here. I do admit
that I'm prideful in my own little way. It's hard to be humble,
nonetheless, teachable. But, each day, I evaluate myself and ask if the
things I'm doing are aligned with God's will. It's a humbling experience
for sure. I'm still overcoming my past behaviors but I'm grateful for
how the Lord works in my life. I love this work. It has taught me of my
purpose in life.
The Gospel is really important in our lives. Without
it, we won't know how to have peace in this life and happiness in the
life to come. I'm grateful for the Lord's call to serve a mission. It's
been a miracle. Everyday, I get to see how the Spirit works especially
with me. Prayers are really answered as long as we have that faith.
My companion and my housemates call me Nerds...
Haha... Each of us has a "name" but, I guess we need to go over the
handbook. Haha... Just with us 4 though. And, exercise! Elder Abad
taught me a lot on exercise. So morning exercises with him paid off. A
way of relieving stress..
Well, that's our week. I love you all!
Sincerely,
Elder Dimazana
