Kumusta Po Kayo greetings and Ulam! (ulam means rain),
We had our first real few rain storms allready this week
although that doesn't mean it isnt still hot! Its burnning and
by that I mean at least 38 celcius with the humidity index,
The craziest thing happened last night even I can hardly
belive it. We we're teaching a brand new investigator sister Mati
and her older brother Edwin who we've also started teaching
walked in late to our lesson, which was of course a bit distracting,
but the most distracting thing of all he was wearing and I kid,
and joke, and lie to you not MY HIGH SCHOOL BAND T-SHIRT!
AT first I thought hey that looks a lot like a CHHS band shirt
then I looked again and sure enough yest it was a REAL
chhs 200-2001 Panther Band shirt. I just about could not continue
I laughed out loud and maybe shocked our investigators if not
my companion a little bit but it was to crazy to be true! He said
he got it at something here that they call Ukay Ukay which is like
second hand stuff that people pick up from all over and sell in mass,
Kind of like a plato's closet if you know what that is. Any ways I
took pictures and they are on the blog so you can all see it for
you're own eyes. Trust me if I had not seen it I would not belive
it either. It just goes to prove that the world is SMALL!
The best experience of this week I'd like to share though is about
a 12 year old girl we are teaching named Sherina, her sister Shela
aged 17 is also a recent convert and usually sits in on our lessons.
I've noticed in these first few weeks that sherina is a very smart
young girl and knows all that we teach her to the point that she
is really becoming a bit bored with with the lessons although we
still do not feel her testimony is strong enough for baptisim and
she is not yet keeping the comittment to attend church every
week.
So thinking what on earth we could to to give her inspiration
and excitment about becoming I memeber i thought of what I
wanted to do at church when I was 12 years old all the sudden
the inspiration just struck me PERSONAL PROGRESS! We’ve
now given her abd ger older sister a book and have started her
out on the first Fait value experience and she is LOVING it and
Sister Soriano my companion also being a new member having
not done personal progress herself is loving it too! It builds my
testimony of how inspired our leaders are to see how something
as simple personal progress has completely changed our teaching
atmosphere and experience with Sherina and her Sister Shelia.
I know that this is truly the lord's work I am engaged in here.
I'm happy to keep on doing it! I love you all and miss you!
Ingat Sa Lahat,
Sister Quinn
