Ouch it hurts to write that date! Cuz every week that passes means I'm closer to ending my part of this great work! ahhh. I don't wanna come home.

Well this week was pretty good, taught a bit, found a bit, talked to some members, made plans to cast out a devil of someone/someones house. Ya know, the regular...

Oh and on Friday we had Zone Conference. It was fun. President talked about grace and our investigators, and the assistants talked about teaching our investigators the lessons, not teaching the lessons to investigators. I know kind of confusing but simply, its teaching people according to their needs, not lessons because that's what we have to teach in order to get them baptized. That is probably one of the biggest weaknesses of the missionaries right now. Its kind of sad but when they actually do it, it gets a lot funner and you actually look forward to teaching them because you don't know what exactly you are gonna say it just comes like it says in D&C.

The mental health coordinators came to our zone conference too. All the missionaries were teasing each other about how the other could finally get help. ha ha . But I asked her questions about my worrying, and insomnia, she told me that Tylenol PM is not addictive, I still need to be smart, but don't wait next time till the 3rd day to take it. ha ha I know now!!! ha ha

Brother Rey is on fire! He went to Manila on Friday night and he went to all his friends in Makati and got them to listen to the missionaries all the time, he was texting people here in Olongapo, getting them to listen too. He was texting us so much just forwarding numbers and names and addresses. Then he expressed his feelings about how much happier he was and all the blessings he is seeing like, he fixed things with his family (they weren't talking to him). Then just he has a whole new outlook on life, he even told us that he missed working with us. He hasn't even started doing it a lot. It is so great to see him as excited as he is. I wish every person could be like that.

We weren't able to teach Milan this week but he still is coming to church and we are working on building his self confidence. He just barely started attending all 3 hours of church in class. He is really shy and was scared of the priesthood class. In Sunday school he was called on to answer a question and his voice was shaking so bad he was sooo nervous but he did it and we just encouraged him. I was so happy for him!

This week we have ZLC coming up and it should be fun. We have a bunch of things coming up that we will be planning and we will get to eat really good food.

I love my mission and I am excited for everyone that is serving and preparing to serve, Go get em.
