It was a good week this week. The biggest news this week is what we just got this morning, my comp, Elder Westwood is getting transfered. So I am getting a new comp and gonna lead the area, after 6 months of being companions with Westwood. So things are goin to get a bit more different and crazy.
Here in the Philippines, even though it is barely October, Christmas is in the air. There is Christmas trees and lights poppin up more and more. I kinda like it. haha. Another cool thing I saw this week was some kids practicing boxing in the street. They were really young and they would take off their shirts and fold them and hold them up like a punching bag. It was cool and funny to see.
This week we actually had more priesthood work with us than young women, which is great. Three future missionaries worked one of them being the branch mission leader. They were good at teaching and they even taught in the local language of Ilocano, so the investigators could more fully understand. It was awesome. Also on Saturday night we cleaned the church. We had a ton of members come, they even started cleaning and had a lot done before we got there.
We had some more investigators come to church, new ones and ones that haven't been for a little while. The family we are really workin with, Family Huellas, are really close to baptism. They haven't committed to a date yet. But they are close the kids want to. We are just waiting on the parents. Another great investigator, Rolly Humilde, a part member, is really progressing. He reads the Book of Mormon almost every morning and really feels the spirit at church. We just extended a baptism date to him and he accepted!
After church we had a baptism, the young girl who was supposed to get baptized last week, but she got sick. So that was really cool. The branch president baptized her. So that is pretty much it for this week. Mahal ko kayong lahat. Elder Pennock
