"Just Keep Going" 3/10/13

Well im glad to hear you guys are doing great and it was a normal week haha! This week was a great one and man one that really pushed me! one great thing is we had a baptism! it was a great service and she has truly been prepared, i tell ya what its the coolest thing to see some one take the steps of baptism. haha im just smiling writing this. some other great news, our investigator bro. celso passed his interview and he will be baptized this saturday! he even asked me to do it and so im really excited for him cause we have seen him progress so well and so fast, we actually moved his baptism ahead because he was doing so well! so that was the good stuff. this week really challenged elder and i because no one wanted to listen to us or let us teach! it was almost amusing the excuses they would come up with or the things they would do to get away from us, yeah it was dissapointing but when you know your doing your best you cant get down on your self and we felt that through the spirit. This week we had times where we just felt down cause we were punted from everyone and here in this area because its pretty rural once 8 comes and your not in a lesson its super hard to find anybody. but we just keep pushing foward and did the best we could. the lord really wanted us to learn something this week and im still trying to figure that out. thats one great blessing about the mission or just life in general, Heavenly Father gives us things to learn and grow and whats better than that? we had to help our recent convert realize that cause she was kind of down because shes been experiencing some trials lately but is still a rock in the church and its great to see! well this week was a good one and we are just pushing forward! i love you guys and hope you also keep pushing forward through the hard times! mahal ko po kayo! ingat palagi!
