Monday in the evening we had a FHE and it was great there was several people there who I was glad was there.
Tuesday we had regular studies then we went and worked in the rain out in Santa. Unfortunately no one wanted to talk with us but the area out there was crazy there was one barangay that was scary it looked like a war zone because of a typhoon in 2001 and they just haven't had time to fix the area yet. Then in the evening we had an FHE down at the house of brother Viliaruz they were supper happy and supper exited about it they loved it and wanted us to return but we will have to see how often or when we can return because they are so far out and things are just kinda harder for them and me.
Wednesday we had the opportunity to be interviewed by the new mission president and he is awesome. He knew which one of us had written what, what area we are in, and as we talked I could tell he was looking for a way to help us and the people we are serving. I love him already and look forward to working with him more. Then after district counsel we had exchanges. I went and worked in Santa Maria (AGAIN! {joke lang yun}) It was great I love the area we worked hard despite pouring rain and then worked on my companions language as we worked.
Thursday after we closed our exchanges we went out and visited brother Lagmay and had a good lesson with him about the Book of Mormon he was supper receptive and it was great we. Then walked around and tried to visit others but because it started raining they didn't want to talk to us and said "go get home get shelter" so ya that was ok we visited one of the less actives in the area.
Friday we went into a barangay called Dasay and visited some of the people there and met some people for the first time, and revisited sister Kimberly, a young sister who lives there. She was a past investigators of the missionaries before that had been lost in transfers, she was receptive and exited that we had returned. We had a great lesson about how we can learn from the Book of Mormon and how to apply it to our life. She was supper grateful and had been still reading the Book of Mormon and was supper thankfull.
Saturday we went and returned to Sister Halog the Nanay we visited last week and she was happy we had returned she readily accepted a lesson. We had a lesson with her.then we kinda circled around and visited some less active, and tried to contact some old findings again. Then in the evening we had a lesson with the recent convert sister Jenalyn this was ok and we enjoyed sharing with her and we finally also found out one of the things that is keeping her from church so we will be visiting her and her family trying to help overcome that concern.
Sunday church was ok we had a good sacrament meeting about how to learn for our self then after church we went out to work in Codoog and visited the Lardisabal family. We had a great lesson about the temple there found out one of there concerns and we will be helping them with that. Then we went and walked back and visited some old findings then visited the Cabico family they were happy to see us again but it started raining and so they sent us home.
So ya that was my week we had a good week despite being slightly hard.
My spiritual thought this week comes from first Nephi 8: 5-9
5 And it came to pass that I saw a man, and he was dressed in a white robe; and he came and stood before me.
6 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, and bade me follow him.
7 And it came to pass that as I followed him I beheld myself that I was in a dark and dreary waste.
8 And after I had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have mercy on me, according to the multitude of his tender mercies.
9 And it came to pass after I had prayed unto the Lord I beheld a large and spacious afield.
Sometimes even as we follow the plan of the lord we may feel like we are in a darkness and we can't see why things are the way things are or why we face the temptations we do and so many other thing but if we have faith and pray to be delivered Eventually in the time of the lord we will be delivered there for my invitation for you is for you to pray to heavenly father and continue in faith even if its hard. If you need or desire to seek the knowledge and answers to questions you need (I am always open to answers your questions) from reliable sources given by God. I know that this is the church of Christ on this earth and he dose guide it.
Thank you for all your love and support
Elder Davis
