Hey family let me tell you my stories for the week. So on wednesday we were tracting and we found one lady and started to teach her, My comp was like only give the first 2 priniciples and we will leave. But as we started we kept going with the entire lesson, but i gave the first vision. And i was nervous out of my mind i wanted to make it perfect. As i started the Nanay started staring in my eyes and i was staring back. it felt different than other times. After the lesson we asked if she had any questions. She told us that as i told her the story of Joseph Smith and the First vision, she felt different, the entire time she was rubbing her arms cuz she had goosebumps. she told me in Tagalog " parang jesucristo kayong dalawa, iba iba mga naramdam ko, salamat salamat" which in english is " its like you two are Jesus Christ, my feelings are very very different thank you thank you." she said alot of missionaries form different religions had visited her but no one made her feel the way we did. She stood up and shook my hand with both of hers with tears in her eyes saying thank you thank you so much. its like your Jesus. she kept repeating it. Anyways we are going back to teach her soon. we couldnt sooner because i was in Bagamanoc, which brings me to my next story. On thursday we had a district meeting and the Zone leader asked if i wanted to go to "jurassic park" i was like freak you know it!!! so i had no change of clothes no toothbrush no nothing, but my camera and BoM. anyways so we start our journey here in Virac. We are riding atop a Jeepney called MR. Suave lol its awesome. This jeepney is beefed up like kinda lifted and big tires and uglier than sin. Ill send a picture, our seat is a water tank like 50 gallons and it has a hose running from it to the radiator because the radiator has a leak, and instead of fixing it or getting a new one they just have this huge water tank on top to keep refilling the radiator lol freak i was worried. anyways its about a 4 hour trip that turned into 6 because we have to trek through the jungle and we get stuck 3 times in knee deep mud, but the trip is beautiful beyond all description. anyways i got sunburned like there is no tommorow. Anyways we worked in Bagamonoc for friday and saturday but we got stranded there because there was no bus or jeepney or boat till sunday maybe monday. so my one day trip turned to four. We finally got a ride atop mr.suave again last night about 6 and went through the most horrible ride of my life sitting on top of coconuts and coconuts sitting on top of me ( coconuts are heavy as all get out too) anyways we got stuck again 3 times this time they asked me to help pull them out they gave us a rope, like a roping rope and tied it to the axle and were like pull! i was like freak thats heavy im not a winch but an hour later we got out of one of our perdicaments. anyways long story short we arrived at Virac at 2 in the morning. Only to realize we didnt have a key to the apartment, so we had to pay 200 pisos to go to san andreas and our driver was all over the road cuz he was so sleepy anyways ya thats my stories of the week. I hope that the roof went on smoothly sorry i wasnt there to help. what color is it. ?i love you and im sending pics to you now i hope your saving them ill send a cd of them soon too. love you guys keep up the strong work elder walker
