I don't know what to call this email so I just called it that. This week has been great I love the work of the Lord and so much is getting done every week and I can only tell you so much. I've almost filled my first journal already so ya this is kinda crazy.
Monday we visited some people and they rejected a visit which is always so sad. We met a brother Brazil He is the husband of one of the contacts we had made previously. He said he is a bus driver and so almost never home, but that when he was we could visit him so that was really good. We then visited brother Randy (different than our Land owner Randy Castenero) But he was to drunk to meet with us.
Tuesday We went into a new barangay in Balaon that was exiting its name is Ttalinpugo. We did findings down there almost every one we visited was Inglesia ni Cristo, A church started here in the Philippines that is supper into debating or will not talk to you at all its one or the other nothing in between. So that was a little hard. We then went down and visited brother Ordinario . We had a very good lesson with him he said he believed the Book of Mormon was true but wouldn't except the church so we shared with him in the introduction to the Book of Mormon where it says "Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is His prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the Second Coming of the Messiah." He seemed to think on that a bit then excepted the challenge to pray to know again. We then continued finding and towards the end of the day met a family who's tatay was half paralyzed from a stroke. They had 3 grand kids living with them they were supper receptive to the message and understood it and excepted the challenge to pray to know the truth of it.
Wednesday our first lesson was with a finding he excepted a lesson then about 3 minutes into the lesson 2 of his friends show up and he just gets up and walks away leaving us alone in his little hut on the side of his field so ya that's a great way to start the day. We then did finding, tried visiting some people who we had taught in the past in that area but they were all to busy or not home so we kept on working on finding till we visited the Raqudans. The Raqudans, their daughter, just recently got converted and baptized (one of our recent baptisms) and her parents both have been baptized in the past year. So we had a good lesson with them and asked for referrals. We then returned to doing findings. We had a lesson with there cousins which we found in a different barangay then we found a woman named Gerly (pronounced Girl-ley) She was supper receptive and took us to her house to meet her family. Her family was just as receptive they excepted a return appointment and her dad (a supper nice man) excepted help in his field.

Thursday. We started out by going and help Gerlys dad in the field. Due to the fact he was doing a special project for a business that was preserving the pureness of the hybrid he needed to pollinate each of the fruit himself so we walked through and found all the squash ready for pollination and marked it so latter he could just walk through and pollinate. We then went out after lunch and visited a new area in Santole called Paagan. We found several people some of whom had been taught by past missionaries, so yes that was fun. We then visited tatay Orene and shared a lesson this was our first time visiting him there so he was surprised to see us so far out but happy and excepted a message.
I know this church is true and every thing that is taught is true and I am a living modern witness of that
Sorry That's all for this week love you all
Love elder Davis
