So yeah! Christmas and New Years both came and went! time goes by sooo fast!
this week we.... had a lot of dinner appointments. like for reals, every day. sometimes lunch too. the elders set up a calendar and then we just tagged along whenever we were free :) other than that it was pretty much a normal week!
Cool story: back in the day when i was in nova we did that awesome college seminar thing where the zone leaders taught the whole first lesson to like 250 college students and their teachers. coolest thing ever, right? right. so there were a ton of referrals that came from that but we didn't know what happened to any of them because they all lived in different areas...
One of them in fact lived in meycauayan area!!!!!! so we got a referral before i even got here but the other sisters were never able to contact it cuz it was wicked far away and the address was incomplete and the phone number was unresponsive and... yeah.
we decided to try one more time. and we found mark!! not mavis pala! he's 17 and both his parents were home as well and we taught them all! he already had a Book of Mormon and was super receptive!!! they are a super awesome family :)
we went and taught them the next week as well and the dad was at work but he had brought the pamphlet we left with him to read when he had free time!
We taught the first lesson and at the end Mark asked us if there are still miracles like in the time of Moses. yes yes yes a thousand times yes. it was so great! we're stoked.
cool finding referral story take two!
we got a referral from the office and the address was on our street!!! but the number was 313.... all the number on our street are like under 100..... so we were just trying every combination that could look like 313.... to no avail. so we stopped looking for the address and just asked if anyone knew the family.... to no avail. we seriously walked up and down this street like 12 times. then!! we asked this one dude. he didn't know. but there was this little munchkin walking by and he was like cortez? that's me! and he took us to his house! and that was who we were looking for!! and the whole family was home (like 8 of them) and we taught them :) they're great! they lived at block one lot eleven.... that's close to 313.... the Lord knows His people!
anyway! merry Christmas and happy new year!!!
make some good resolutions! see ya in a few months!
