I am jealous that you have already finished watching conference. I must wait another week to listen to the Prophet's voice and I cannot wait!
This week could be considered the best week of my mission. First of all, with two 19 year old American girls roaming around the Philippines, we have had a great increase of whistling, hellos, and creepy people taking pictures. This week I learned that prayers can be answered. I have been really anxious for some progression in this area. It has been really slow since we opened here. This week picked up like no other! Monday started with a great lesson with M. She has rejected baptism twice already but we couldn't give up on her. She is the investigator whose husband was killed in an accident at work with a building crushing him. She lives in a home with her parents and three children. On Monday, she told us she received an answer to her prayer and she knows that the Book of Mormon is true, that the Gospel is true, and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. The spirit was so strong. We taught her again on Wednesday on the Atonement and how the first step to applying the atonement in our lives is by taking the first step to following Him through Baptism. She accepted! So amazing. We also invited her to the Relief Society Broadcast on Saturday and she was so excited to come, it was adorable. She loved President Monson's talk and told us how she could feel something special about him. Then we gave her a church tour. She loved all the art in the hallways, it was a great experience for her. Then she socialized with the members after, I think she had a really wonderful experience. It is just so humbling to see people really come closer to Christ through the gospel.
