Training done. Tapos Na. Over. Grabi.
Hello everyone! Kumusta po Kayo!
This was a good week with alot of "lasts!" Most of them in a really good way.
This was the "last" week with my Trainer Elder Potestad.... Ya ya its a bummer.
Then Saturday was Elder
Potestad's "last" Birthday here in the mission! Fun day working hard.
There was one lesson I want to particularly share. We were teaching
Sister Ariane and Brother "RR" (Perfecto). They are scheduled to be bap.
the 27! They are so smart! When we first met them they were so shy. But
now they answer and really show their desire to follow Christ. Elder
Potestad and I taught a great lesson about priesthood and then he bore
his testimony. The Spirit was so strong. I couldn't help but smile. They
felt it and were just "glowing." so excited to see them continue in the church! Had a lot of moments this week like that. Such a spirit when
teaching:) I love that feeling!
Then
latter that night we had Branch FHE. It was full of games, kids,
families, fun and then a special tribute to the leaving of Elder
Potestad. everyone gave their regards including myself. but for some
reason I couldn't speak in tagalog very well right then and there
..ooops!
Finally yesterday the "last" church attendance. Testimony meeting. Such a warm,
gentle spirit as the members of the branch bore their testimonies. Then
Elder Potestad gave his. He got a little teary eyed as most did in the
audience. Once again powerful. If you get the chance read John 6:66-69
his favorite scripture."
Can't wait to talk to this Elder on Christmas!! It's been 4 months. It will be exciting to hear about his next companion and area. Love this kid.
