We had another awesome week up here in Bangued. One of the highlights was going down to the mission office for MLC. It was an awesome meeting. Our mission is changing focuses a little bit as we realling work to find NEW people that are prepared to hear the gospel. Sometimes, we have noticed that we kind of end up teaching people just to teach. And that we are missing opportunities to find the people that the Lord is preparing for us every day. It is super hard to "drop" investigators, but it is sooo rewarding when you find someone that you know the Lord has been preparing.
As a companionship, we decided that we are going to add more time into our schedule to simply find. Find those who are reading for the gospel. This last week we found a couple of new people that we are really excited to work with.
We have still had a lot of success as we just simply start our lessons by asking some basic inspired questions. A lot of the time, we end up teaching a small portion of the Plan of Salvation to people the first time that we meet them. This kind of peaks their interest and makes them think about what they really believe when it comes to God's plan for us.
Studying Come Follow Me this last week was awesome!! We had a cool lesson with a group of members about how blessed we really are to have the Book of Mormon in our lives. Lots of them bore awesome testimonies about how the Book had truly changed their lives. It can honestly say that it has changed my life too. It is the reason that I am in the Philippines right now, and I am beyond blessed to spend these two years teaching people about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
