(Here is Frasier's email from December 15th. With the holidays, his p-days are a bit different. The next time we hear from him will be our Christmas video call! We cannot wait!!!)
This week has been good. It seems like just yesterday I was sending my last email. It is crazy how fast time flies by. It seems like I am just constantly waking up and then laying back down to go to bed. There isn't too much to report I don't feel like.
Reynante is doing good! We saw him when we went shopping on Monday and he was doing good. He and his girlfriend were on a date. We are teaching his cousin now and he comes to teach with us almost every time we teach her. Her name is Mary Grace. She is becoming a progressing investigator as well. One time we went to her house and she wasn't there, but her parents made us come in anyway. Her dad just started talking to us about life. The cool thing for me is he listens to classic rock music, so even though I shouldn't be, I was singing along to the music in the back of my mind. Then as we were sitting there Mary Grace's mom brought us over a tray of food. She made us sandwiches and had run to the tindahan and bought us a soda. That is one awesome thing about the Filipinos is that they all want to talk to us and give us food and snacks.
We also have an investigator who is newer. I can't remember if I told you about her or not. Her name is Judy Ann. She was referred to us by other missionaries because the missionaries met her at church. She went to church because her boyfriend is a member. She started taking lessons from us and from the very beginning she has just been on fire. She already had a Book of Mormon that her boyfriend gave to her and she was already reading it. She stopped drinking coffee weeks ago when her boyfriend told her that it is bawal. Every time we go and teach her she tells us all about what she learned from the assignments we gave her. There have been a few times where she printed off scripture verses from her work printer and shares those scriptures with us. She also came to church the very first week we met her.
The Abad family is doing awesome as well. We are almost done with all the lessons for them. They are all progressing and all have super strong testimonies. They all read the Book of Mormon every day. The two kids even take their books to school and read it when they have free time. I am so happy for them and excited for their baptism coming up on the 30th. They have their interviews a week from today. Pray that they all pass (even though I'm pretty sure they will).
Other than that work is going as normal. Not too much else to talk about.
We had zone interviews on Wednesday. It really is just a quick little meeting to get blasted about how your area book is not up to par and that you need to do better at it. The good thing is that Sister Hiatt makes cookies that we get to have at the end of our interviews.
We caught another Jerry and hurt another Tom last night. It is kind of funny how brutal the assistants are with animals. haha
Just in case any of you were wondering I still can't speak Tagalog. I am trying my hardest but it is definitely coming slowly. The good thing about it, I guess, is that I have a lot of time to think throughout the day because that is mostly all that I can do. I remember lots of things about home.
Love you!
Love you!
