Sorry i didnt write last week. ANd i dont have a lot of time this week either. This week was a blast! i had a ton of fun and we worked really hard. We had the most amount of lessons that have been taught in a single week since sometine in 2010. So we broke last years record for lessons taught with a member present! it was cool! we got a bunch more people on to be baptised. Im super excited for how htings have been going in the area. Our work has definately been paying off. In our zone we have a total of 21 people on date to be baptized. 11 of them are from mine and Elder Odriscolls area. hahah. more than half. so. things have been put in our way. And i feel very honored to know that God has seen us fit to use us as an instrument in his hands. Its really great.
This saturday we are going to have our first baptism in Tawau. I am way excited. Her name is Joan, and i think she is the most solid investigator that i have ever taught so far. Shes got faith and a testimony like you wouldnt believe. She goes with us every where to teach lessons. And she teaches the gospel principles like someone who has been in the church for years. So i am super excited for her baptism. haha. and its even better...she wasnts to be baptized in the OCEAN!!!!! hahaha i am soooo excited. I have wanted to baptize someone in the ocean since before my mission even started. haha. It just seems wayyy cool.
So this week, we decided to go tracting out by one of our members houses. But it wasnt just any tracting. It was jungle tracting. We were told there was a little village of jungle people not too far from our members house. So we decided to go find the village. But before we went out, we went and bought a machete. Because there is crazy things in the jungle. So we went out. But the thing is, we didnt know where to find the village. We needed someone to take us there. But the dad of that member family wasnt home. So the next best thing was his oldest son. hahaha. but hes only 10 years old!!!! hahaha. and his 8 year old little sister. So here me and my companion are, being lead through the jungle to a little village by a little 10 year old boy and his little sister. haha. But we made it to the village and taught 2 families there. It was pretty a pretty cool experience!
Anyway, thats about all. I wish i had time to write more, but i got to go!
Until next week
