Hello Everyone!
recently here we've been trying to do more than FTE, Find The
Elect, but to Find and Teach The Elect, or FTTE. It has yielded abundant
results, and we've gotten 8 New Investigators from that alone in the last week!
There was a group of three in Casoy and as we asked if they would be
interested in being taught, they said yes, so we taught them. Then
another day there were two guys who were chillin on the side of a bridge of a
major highway, and we asked if they would like to be taught and they said yes.
It turns out that they both live in a shack under that bridge next to the
river - the whole lesson turned out pretty well, and they seemed to
recognize they needed something in their life; we'll be teaching them again
tonight. The other three you may have already heard about on the blog,
the ones from the radio station. But we're going to give that to the
sisters because it's in their area. We got another new Investigator
Monday, a husband of a Less-Active. We were actually looking for someone
else, but we asked if we could teach them and it worked out perfectly because
the husband usually isn't home. then Yesterday, we were trying to figure
out where to go and who to visit because all the husbands were out working -
then we were yet again led to a less-active whose husband isn't a member and
who usually isn't home, but because we came by at that particular time, and got
to teach him! Then right after that, as we were checking if another of
our less-actives were home, we talked to a young man, and he said we could
teach him, so we said, "Can we teach you now?"(in Cebuano,
"pwede mi motudlo kanimo karon?") and so we did. we'll
visit him again next Tuesday.
Anyways, now I've gotta go - we're going to have a sweet
activity which i planned - it'll be at a resort, we'll be cooking fish and pork
and having that with rice, and also Frisbee/basketball/Filipino-games, and
whatever other awesome stuff happens there :) I'm even involving the
senior couple, the Halls, because they need to be involved with all of the
missionary stuff - they have no trainer to involve them in things, so I've been
inviting them to the CSP (they got a good taste of what the transportation is
like here, and the construction) and the District Meeting (Elder Hall loved
giving a shining moment to his companion) and the activity (they will be
attending later).
so that's all that's going on here! Hope all's well with
you and yours!
