Maupay Nga Gabi Tanan,
So, this week has been really interesting. On Tuesday, we had a mission tour, and Elder Teh of the 70 came and spoke to us. That was really cool. He is a really inspired man, and I learned a TON from his trainings. It was great, I got a lot of my concerns and problems resolved from it.
We met 4 new investigators this week who speak English. One of them, Rafael, is Filipino (obviously) but he is American. Get this, He grew up in Kirtland, Ohio, 1 mile away from the Kirkland Temple. And he started an online paper for Calbayog, so he will put our announcements about our English class up and our service projects, so that is great! He is cool.
I got an ear infection this week, and Sister Andaya (the mission president's wife) made me go to Tacloban to the Doctor. So, Saturday morning, we were waiting at the Van terminal, and this lady started talking to us (in English) and she said that some Mormons came here a few years ago with some church relief aid program, and that they became her friends. Then we asked her if we could visit her, we gave her a pamphlet and a Book of Mormon, and she said, "Thank you so much sisters, I really really need this in my life right now." I almost died.
Also, one of our old investigators is in love with Sister Schaap... That's awkward. We might have to hand him over to the Elders because he keeps trying to call us at like 10 or 11 at night.... hmmmm... But, he also speaks English, so, that's a plus. It's kind of hilarious.
We didn't work as much as we wanted to this week, but even though we only worked 3 and a half days, Those days held a lot of miracles, and answered prayers. This week I learned that when we are exactly obedient, the Lord will be able to trust us with these super prepared people.
Transfers are this week. My president has said things to me like, "We will be expecting a lot more from you this transfer," "You need to get ready for next week, sisters." and, "Oh good, It will be helpful for next transfer that you are teaching a lot of people that speak English." So, you know, pray for my trainee.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers, and love, I really appreciate it, and I'm so happy that I have such a great support system back home.
Gugma,
Sister Bingham
