Hey everybody, so it's been an interesting week, lots of ups and downs! But mostly ups :)
First, the passing of our prophet Thomas S. Monson startled our zone but we're also happy he'll be reunited with his wife in the next world. We were out teaching and then the Mina elders texted us that he had passed away. We were so shocked we called the finance elder, Elder Klingonsmith (my batch) and he confirmed it was true. He's been the prophet almost all my life but I'm also so happy and blessed that we live in a dispensation where a new prophet will be called and we'll receive guidance from Heavenly Father always.
Our investigator Francis is doing great! He came to all 3 hours of church on Sunday and always has so many questions. He's still progressing well towards his baptism though and always talks with us when we buy ice cream at 7/11. He's great!
Trisha is doing great too, still progressing slowly but surely. She enjoys coming to church but is still really shy of a lot of the members given her past. We're trying to find her a good fellowshipper but everyone there is so old haha. She'll be alright though, she's doing great.
Things are pretty much the same here though, actually there were transfers on last Monday and it's STILL us four missionaries in Sipalay; me, sister Santos, and elders Steffen and Tabligan. We've all been here for four months together now haha. I'm so grateful still though that I got to be assigned here in Sipalay, it really is the best! Although I got a little sick this week and it was a WEIRD sickness, like I felt hungry all the time even though I had just eaten, it was super weird. But I just got prescribed this medicine here called "buscopan" and I'm all better :)
That's about it though, thank you all for the love and support! It means everything :)
