Working Harder is Good, But it's Better to Work Smarter

Dear Fam,

The day has past. Yup, MY BIRTHDAY!!! 20 NA AK!!! LAGAS NA!!!! good luck looking that up on the internet 😂😂 Recently, It's been a little hard to type English. My mind just kicks into Waray, and I just start typing Waray words. Thanks for the patience.

So, last week was a very different week. We didn't end up going to Palo for exchanges. Something came up, and we were unable to go. the good news is that we got to work in our area ALL WEEK!!! we taught so many people. We got a referral from a recent convert, Brother J. we asked if we could teach his family, and he said yes! also, he said that he had a cousin who wanted to join the church. so, we went and taught the cousin with brother J. we asked if she had a question. she asked how she could know if she could receive forgiveness from God for her mistakes. That is a question from the heart, and she meant it. We shared some verses, and she was blown away with the answer that YES, she can. we extended a date of baptism to her and her other cousin that was there, and they both accepted. Actually, this sister had already asked her parents if she could join the church, and they said yes! it was a good week for that. this girl is the perfect example of what the mission is aiming for. President Argana has been pushing for referrals, instead of tracting. there are some missions who have made actually made tracting forbidden. this girl is not someone off the street that we found and may or may not be interested. This girl is a person that we know is interested, is searching for something, and we have the answer! in addition, she has 2 people, 2 a member, that can answer her questions, teach her, and take her to church and activities. Working harder is good, but it's better to work smarter. We have the gospel, the ultimate answer to people's questions. there is no one that the gospel cannot help, there is no one "too good" to repent and be baptized. 

It was a very trying week. Lots of work, lots of teaching. but, I am better then when I started the week. This week, I go to Catarman and Calbayog for zone conference and interviews. Calbayog is where I lived in my first area, so I am absolutely stoked to go back! 

that's really all. I hope all is well at home. Make someone's day today.

Love
