Finally got a new companion, Elder David! He's Filipino, so
I'm taking a little time to get back into the groove of having a Filipino
companion, but we are doing great! He works really hard, and loves tracting, so
it gives me a lot more drive to knock on doors all day... And that's pretty
much all we've been doing for this past week. I think on average we knock on
doors for more than three hours every day, so we get pretty exhausted by the
end of the week. Thank goodness for Mondays! (It's funny because back home I
hated Mondays, but the mission forces me to love them haha)
And Francis Monilla got baptized last Saturday!! It was
great, because his older brother Jonathan did the ordinance for him. After the
baptism he bore his testimony and the room was on fire. I didn't know that a
14-year-old boy was capable of bearing such pure testimony. In all honesty,
he's probably the most solid convert that I've taught on my mission. He wasn't
converted because of friends in the church - he has none of those, not even
one. He wasn't converted because of activities or programs of the church - they
don't have those in this ward. He was converted to the Lord, and it truly shows
in his countenance.
