This week has been wonderful. busy, of course, but so
wonderful.
you wrote about sister A. we have two members of that
family that are not yet members; nanay A and sister A. Nanay A
also has 2 daughters that are members, though less active, and 1 son who is 8.
they are amazing! they have baptisimal dates for June, and are speeding toward
them! Nanay joined our gospel doctrine class, and absolutely blew us away with
her answers and thoughts. she fully recognizes the blessings, and after years
of waiting for the "right moment," she has finally found it! so
amazing! great family! we also found a really nice family that seems
interested. Excited to find them so I can have some good Investigators lined up
for my next companion.
Elder A is in the final week of his mission. he himself
says he is so trunky! he is right, he really is. But, he still works and gets
things done. He wants to set this area up for the next missionary, just like
me. He really is a great companion. He loves to have fun, work, and things just
work out. I am curious to see who my next companion will be. lots of zone
leaders are going home, so we will have lots of new missionaries accepting
leadership roles. Right now, my companion could be pretty much anyone.
I just got back from a zone activity. we planned for the
zone to come to Tacloban to play some games indoors. I have never had so much
fun! just little games really got everyone excited and that was really
enjoyable. we have an FHE set up for tonight, and that will be fun, because it
is with a less active family we are working with. they came to church, so they
are progressing. lots of less actives in the Philippines. many people forget,
are too easily offended, or just lose track of their church life. it is really sad
to have that happen to people who once had all the blessings the Lord has to
offer, but have lost their privilege to them. hopefully, we can help them feel
the spirit again and they will be returning to the church soon. we just have to
keep working with them.
personally, I am doing well. I am working on staying on time and
getting things done. Still love the work, still know the church is
true. being a zone leader is a bit hard, and a bit hectic, but all in all it's
great! I have continued to lose weight, but only a little. Daily exercise is
stressed during this new schedule, and the apartment has a barbell. Elder A
doesn't like to cook, and prefers eating out. I will be changing that, because
no more money if we do that.
the members here are really special. they are strong, and
usually, willing to help, whether it be food, lessons, referrals, or anything
else. lots of member meals means lots of enjoyment and time to get to know the
area. Palo is huge, and lots of areas are just too hard to visit to make it
worth it. but, we still visit as often as possible. I feel pretty comfortable
with this area, figuring it out. Hopefully, I can work on it and improve. still
love the work and all it has be do. zone leader is hard, but I can do it.
Lots of love to you all. not a whole lot to report on this
week. Next week may be more interesting, as it is the last week of the cycle.
many people will be going home, and that means lots of different experiences.
until then, love you all.
Perhaps we can make sure the skype works and then resend me
the information so we can be ready for that. Thank you, love you all.
Elder Kuehne
