Maligaya Araw

Helloooooo! This has been a big week for us! Monday night I had a got sick and went to the hospital. Apparently I am allergic to peanut butter. I am so sad because I love peanut butter! Monday was Zone Pday so we all went bowling! Happy day! Thursday we had training check up. We only had about 2 days of proselyting this week. We had many of our investigators come to church this week! Sister Lot Espiritu, she even comes early! She loves coming to church and I love seeing her. On Saturday we had a faith building experience. We got punted all of our appointments. So....tracking po kami. We spent time OYMing and looking for those ready to listen to our message. 2 hours went by and no one would listen to us. They gave us mean snooty faces and shrugged us away. I have never felt rejected in my whole life. I caught a glimpse of what the Savior felt when He was administering here on earth. Finally i stopped in the middle of the road and said sister, we need to pray. On the side of the street we said a prayer of help and strength. That someone would want to listen to our message. We continued. Softer hearts than bedore. But, still no one wanted to listen. We talked to 31 people. on our way out of that barangi, the lord led us to a family. The Orlinas. She has 9 children and is pregnant with another. The spirit was really strong. She felt the spirit of our message and the love of God that our message was true. She accepted to be baptised and some o f the family came to chruch. She was crying during the lesson and suring the prayer. She said she was so thankful for us and wants this in her life. I know that we had to talk to all those people so we would be able to find them. Then, we had a follow up investigator from the elders. Marilyn. She said she was always busy when we would stop by. KInda a hard heart. We saw her one day painting. We stopped and helped her paint her house. We came back yestersay and she let us in! Service had soften her heart to us and the message. After we talked she said, ito sarap, nararamdaman sarap! She felt that our message is delicious. She feels delicious inside. She is wondering why there are so many churches and how she can be clean from sin. Exactly what we have to share. She accepted the invitation to be Baptiste! I know this work is true of true. I joy in the work of the lord! Love, Sister Reed
