July 28, 2014 - If You Can't Say Something Nice...

July 28, 2014     Day 25     Letter

Hi Family,

My Kasama is getting annoying.  He knows more Tagalog than me but I'm still the one doing 90% of the talking in our lessons.  I'm ok with that because it helps me grow, but he always criticizes the lessons.  I know I'm making mistakes.  I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to teach.  We teach 6 times a week.

We taught a former investigator and her friend, and I thought the lesson was ok.  They both said they'd come to church the next week (and they did).  We walked out of the lesson and he says, "That was the worst lesson we've ever had."  I was a little all over the place, but it wasn't that bad.  But he's a good guy and things could be worse.

Oh, Sister Eves says letters have a 60% chance of making it to us.  It's better to send it pouch mail though Salt Lake and write things like "Jesus Christ" or "God Loves Us" on the letter or put some stickers of Christ.  The Filipinos are very superstitious, so it has a better chance of getting through.  And if you send it regular mail it can take up to 6 months to reach me.

We get to go proselyting Wednesday!  So excited.  How's Priscilla?

Love Y'all Tons
