Monday we shopped got the stuff done that we needed to get done done in the evening we had our FHE canceled that we were supposed to go to so we just kinda chilled for the day because this was the second week in a row that we had gotten over 54 hours proselyting so ya long week.
Tuesday, we went to the barangay called Samingan. We got there and the first person we were supposed to visit was sleeping. We then walked for a few kiloliters and found another barangay that was supper far away this was hard because there was no one home every one was out in the bukid or at school, so ya. Then in the evening we returned and found that sister Jessica the person we were supposed to visit earlier was there and was happy to see us and that we had returned. We shared a great lesson about sharing the gospel and got a great referral from her. We then tried to visit some of the less active members there (a family) only to find out they were in the hospital because of the sickness of the dad. So we started walking back and finding people this was slightly hard because most people who go to the field come from the field and start drinking so it was hard but then there was a point where both of us were thirsty and were out of water so we stopped at a Tindahan and got a soft drink and started talking with the people who were there and it turned one used to work for a member so it was a great opportunity he was interested so we arraigned to come back.
Wednesday we had zone conference and got to meet the new mission president. He is great one of the first things he said was that "there are no big changes right now" I love him already for so many reasons he is so nice and great. Then after words president approved splits so my companion could help another companion so I went and worked in Santa Maria again, in the evening we returned to our area.
Thursday We went out to Parparaya and found that all of the people were in the field in Paprapraya so we went to the next barangay, Banglayan and found several potential people We then tried to visit sister Joana and April. Sister April was the only one there but her older brother was there so we were able to share but she has unfortunately lost almost all interest in us I'm not sure if its because of the things her religion is telling her or for other reasons so we are going to try having the sisters visit her again and see how things go. We then went to one of our interested family the Banyo family and had a great lesson with them about how the book of Mormon will bless our life and family.
Friday we went out to Santa with bishop and visited brother Viliaruz the member that we visited last week in the beautiful Santa (no not the man with a big red suit beard and a stomach like a bowl full of jelly the municipality.) We wad a great lesson, bishop helped so much and we are supper exited to return there. Bishop had some great suggestions for us. Then we went and visited sister Jenalyn and her older brother and had a great lesson about how the gospel of Jesus Christ can help you in your life.
Saturday We went out and visited sister Scarlet and had a great lesson with her using the Come Follow Me. We then went and taught the Halog family about the family, Gods Plan, and the Godhead they were supper receptive and liked the message and accepted a return appointment we then went and visited a few other people briefly then went home.
Sunday we had a great sacrament meting about becoming instruments in the hand of the Lord, it was a great meeting. After that went and tried to visit some people and a bunch of the people we were supposed to be visiting were in the field, so we went to another area and visited some of the people we found there and had a great lesson about the Plan of Salvation because they had had a nephew die recently. They really liked the message and accepted a return appointment.
Now today we went out to Pinsal falls again. Then we returned and are emailing so things are pretty good even though the work is hard its great.
My spiritual thought this week comes from the Come Follow Me for last week in Acts 9
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a alight from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Now the thing that happened to to Saul (Paul) was great amazing and a miracle but we shouldn't need for something the great to happen for us to ask "Lord what wilt tho have me to do" We should just want to do the will of the Lord and that should be the questions that we ask him therefore this is my invitation to ask through prayer as to what you should do to do what he wants us to do.
Thank you all for all your love and support.

| Building a house for a family. They used hollow blocks, and "cement" and one wall out of bamboo. |

| The floor is made out of cement. The house would fit in our entire living room. |
