First
off the Taguig Zone had our zone activity last P-day which was pretty
darn fun. We spent a lot of time filling up water balloons and then
played Dungeons and Dragons with them until it got too boring and
everyone just started chucking water balloons at each other. I hid
safely inside of the chapel with my companion and Sister Faka'osi so our
clothes remained dry :) We then played hide-and-go-seek and ordered
Pizza Hut Pizza (Ssooooo gooood!!:)
The next day was our Zone Training so our whole zone was together
again and yeah... that was about all the excitement that happened that
day.
Last Wednesday we did service for some of the elders'
investigators. We cleared a huge field of weeds. It was really hard
work actually and my legs are still sore from it. I was using a sickle
to cut the weeds, and then I almost took out a plant with it.... haha,
it was great.
So the best part about our week was definitely our investigators.
First there's Rico... We met Rico on Saturday the 11th after teaching
our investigator Dioso (Bill?). He was waiting for us to finish our
lesson with Dioso to meet with us. He told us he was searching for the
truth and honestly seemed like a golden investigator. He went on to
tell us a few things that made a red flag appear in Sis. Doucette's
head: 1) He asked us about proxy baptisms (who knows about that outside
of Mormon's?) and 2) He asked us if we were allowed to listen to other
religions. So he texted us over the next few days and we kind of
ignored him because our phone is NOT for "fun texting" and then it all
came out when we tried to set up an appointment with him... He said, and
I quote (except it was sa tagalog), "Haven't you guessed by now?...
Hahaha!... my religion is Inglesia ni Cristo!!" Inglesia
ni Cristo is a wonderful religion, I'm sure, that is very popular here
in the Philippines and was actually formed by a man who used to be
mormon. Long story short, he wanted us to come and either debate with
him over religion or be converted to his church. Obviously we dropped
him as a potential investigator and Sister Doucette is still trying to
get over "Rico: Our Golden Investigator." :)
So then there's Dioso (Bill?)... Apparently his name is not
Dioso... it's Bill.... or at least, that's how he introduced himself to
our ward missionary Raymond. Can't wait to see what this week has in store
for us and "Bill."
Finally, there is Angelica. :) After being so, so, so nervous for
her baptismal interview she made it through and will be getting baptized
this upcoming Saturday!!! We're so excited for her!!! It's perfect
timing too, because I'm 99.9% positive I'm transferring out of this area
in a week and a half. I love Angelica so much!!! She's been through
so much with what happened in Tacloban and having to leave her family
behind. She's grown so much in the gospel and will be an awesome member
of the church! Sister Doucette and I will be bearing our testimonies
with her after her baptism to help her not feel so nervous (did I
mention she is really shy and get's nervous easily?) :)
Well... that's all for this week. Until next week!!
Love, Sister Dickison
(P.S. I also ate chicken feet at a funeral last week... good times... )
