Monday was your regular P-day email zone volleyball laundry the whole shabang. I love shopping here. Tuesday we were blessed to have president Bangal in our district meeting. Unfortunately he was bearing bad news the Christmas conference with the whole mission had been denied so we were going to have 2 separate ones. He interviewed each of us. He was supper happy with me and my companions stats and was Happy that I was so happy. Said we were doing a good job working hard and to keep it up. He was impressed at how many people we had ready for baptism and that we were still working in new areas and finding more people.After district conference we explored a new barangai and did lots of findings.
Wednesday Is when things get interesting. Right as we were finishing our dally studies and preparing for lunch the next door neighbor came over and told us that the Vice mayor had been murdered in an ambush (for more information about that look up Beloan Launin Ambush you'll probably get half a million responses you ll have to find one in English or at leas 75 percent English) We called precedent Bangal and he said to stay inside for safety, and to call him that night about the next day. So we had a repeat of the typhoon day cards, cleaning study.
Thursday we were blessed to go back outside and teach. We taught those that we had planed to teach on Wednesday it was so good 3 of them are preparing for baptism they are a group of 11-12 year old boys and you couldn't get the more classic 11-12 year old boys but they are amazing they love the Gospel they do group BOM reads together and have nightly prayers and all support each other in going to church.
Friday We explored 2 more new Barangays and found even more supper prepared people. The lord truly is blessing us to be able to find people here. Saturday we cleaned the chapel and finally had help of members so it was cleaner than it has been seance I got here. We attended the baptism of two of the other elders investigators in Balaon this was a supper amazing experience and such a good reminder of what I am working towards and am so close to achieving with so many people.
Sunday we only devastatingly had 2 investigators in church. It was branch conference though so we doubled our member count with the number of steak leaders we had there. And after church we went and finished preparing several of our investigators for baptism. The lord relay has blessed us with such an amazing people and with such great opportunities.
The lord really has blessed us with safety and so much more this week. We have been told we need to be in our apartment about 7 now in just our area for safety because all of our area is under red alert so ya well see how the work goes. but as the missionary commission states no unholy hand shall stop it from progressing until the lord shall say the work is done.\
This week my spiritual thought comes from first Nephi chapter 3 verse 7
7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men,save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
The lord gives commandments for a reason If you are having a hard time living one pray to your Heavenly Father with an honest desire to change and to live it and he will help you and provide a way to live it.
Great to hear from all of you
Elder Davis
