This week was pretty cool! So the batch going home this week had to go up to Manila to get our fingerprints for our visas. So that was a fun adventure. Luckily we had 3 Elders who were "maroonon" in tagalog! Hahah basically saved our lives! If we didn't have them it would've been bad! WE also realized how much we were assigned to the right mission. AS IN! Manila is just not us at all! It is far from region 8. It is all city slickers and such with tall buildings everywhere. We had no idea what to do with ourselves. It was so crazy. And there were so many foreigners! Like not just white people! We met people from Kenya, Nigeria, Europe places, a Filipino soccer team, oh my goodness! We did so much finding it was awesome! In the airport and emigration building it rocked! AND... we had Wendy's! Ya, mos def not region 8! It was so goooooood! Ya we dropped a lot a pesos for it :)
But there is something that I really want to share with you all that happened this week! So I hope you all remember the story I shared about bro sanchez and his seeing the kingdoms of glory. Well We have focused as well on his sister. And her especially. She is amazing like her brother, she just has problems coming to church because of her asaua. He is pretty rude and won't let her. She let us know though in a lesson on wed that she will busy for the next 2 weeks with her niece's baptism in the catholic church. But when we got back on sat we planned to visit her that evening(we completely forgot what she had said). And its a good thing we did actually! The lesson was basically just QandA she had a lot, but at the end she said she wanted to share something she experienced. And I don't know what it is about this family, but they must be really in tune with the spirit! She had this dream the day after our last lesson with her-so Thurs. In the dream she said she was looking for something. She was walking around everywhere and then she came to this place where there was this big giant tall cross and she said there were many other crosses there too. and then out of nowhere she said that there came this big ocean that split the way. and on the other side there I was. Me all alone on this place. She ended up going to where I was. She doesn't remember what I said to her or what happened after that, but she does remember how she felt... Peace, love, joy, and warm. If that's not the spirit testifying to her that our message is true I don't know what is! We expressed to her about it, that we couldn't desifer dreams but from what she said, seemed pretty clear what the spirit was saying!
Well I gotta go! I love you all so much! I out some pictures from the activity earlier! We went to the tallest bridge in the Philippines! AGAS-AGAS BRIDGE!
