Well another busy week.;) So we had little time to work this week, but we found one investigator who is way cool. He is 10, is fairly religious and has tried a few different churches. He also said he likes the story of Joseph Smith because it relates to him, and he committed to a baptism goal date. So that was way cool. We also found an investigator who has some siblings that are members and she seems real interested and wants to know more. We had a ton of other things goin n. But it was awesome and we learned a ton. On Wednesday after weekly planning, we had exchanges, my comp was Elder Scharman, the other district leader in our zone. It was good, thats when we found that 19 year old investigator. Scharman's a good elder and loves missionary work, it was cool to work with him. Then on Thursday it was the Leadership Training, with the
Mission President and all the leaders and their comps from Orion, Balanga, Dinalupihan, and Olongapo Zones. So it was sweet to see some new missionaries and some old ones, like Elder Westwood, my follow up trainer. The training was great, learned about giving workshops, exchanges, and key indicators. We also learned about being a good example as a leader, resolving concerns and becoming a missionary. Later we attended a high school graduation, because a few members were graduating. It was pretty interesting, they had fireworks, games, and first did all the award winners. Then Friday, we had a Service Project at the chapel in Bagac. We cleaned out, mopped and organized their huge storage room there. Cleaning and moving chairs, desks and pulpits. That was a ton of fun, especially racing and havin like a water fight with the hose. Then Saturday and Sunday, General Conference!!!! It was napakaayos!! I learned a ton about service, love, family and becoming more chirstlike. I also learned that I shouldn't delay getting married when i come back. ;) Also just to hear the great testimonies and words from the leaders of Christ's church strengthens your testimony. It was also cool, cuz for the saturday afternoon session I listened to it in tagalog. I understood everything except, it got pretty hard when that fast talker came on, the tagalog was way faster too. :) This Monday we had an Areabook update activity (thats what the pics are). We fixed and updated our areabooks in the whole zone. Then that other pic is Elder Graven, an awesome and funny filipino missionary, he is the one i rode with when we got transfered from Alaminos. And he's there in between two big foreign elders on the jeepney. Well I need to go. Love you and miss you all. Elder Pennock
