Hello,
I am having a grand old day. I just got an email that four of my invesigators in Pasay got/ will be baptized, all is going well, and I am excited! :)
Earlier today we went on a trip! To Tabon Caves! Which was our zone activity. We got to take a boat to the caves and were excited at the experience to be out on the ocean, we did not swim, because that is not allowed, but the water was so warm, we had to wade through in order to get to shore, because the boats could not make it all the way their. It was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy the pictures also :) There was only one injury, which is pretty impressive, and it was not me, which is not that impressive, because I never get hurt. We were pushing the boat out and a huge cloud of blood came out from looked like my foot, and I mean a lot of blood. I think we ran over a poor sea cucumber or something, but it freak out the senior couple missionaries.
We are blazing through potential investigators, the youth here are great at inviting friends, and all of their friends want to get baptized, the only problem is that none (not even one.. out of a lot) of their parents will allow them to be baptized. We have a lot of other solid potential, but after October, there is none yet, so we are working on that now.
We also bought 20 lbs of fish for our activity, it cost a litle more than $10 we had a specially hookup, and we ate well earlier.
I taught my first official district meeting ealier today, it went well, we sang some Christmas songs, well one, and got started, I figured out I actually have the ability to teach in a classroom setting, which I sometimes do struggle with.
I do not really remember a whole lot from this week to be honest, I ate a manta ray, saw a hammer head shark, that someone else was going to eat. I got a new pillow. I taught on splits with our Branch President, who used the verse in Jeremiah that I shared last week in my email, but he shared it in a lesson. I was a bit suprised, he taught very direct, which would offend a lot of people, but the couple just laughed and said their Pastor avoids reading those verses in the Bible.
Oh yes I spoke in Sacrament along side the Senior couples, I also translated for one of them. I also learned that the Prophet has a specific ward he attends, I always wondered where he went to church when he was not traveling.
Also! The family that we partially baptized and are trying to complete came to church! I think that is the first time that Ben Simbron has been to church before with his family. He is a good man, and I am excited for their family!
Anyways, all is well in Quezon. Elder Gillette, my fellow district mate knows a lot of my friends at BYU, and even knows my ex-girlfriend! We will not go into detail there but it was fun to talk to him about our good friends at BYU :)
I love you! Or if I had a New Zealand accent, I love you's!
Have a great day, and week!
Elder Munk
