Week 24... Working.

***(You can tell from the grammar in his letter, that his language is beginning to transition to illongo... Cool!)***

Hoy!

Well week 3 of transfer 3 is gone, and another week started. The work here is great. Slowly but surely progressing. We've got probably 4 people gonna be baptized this Saturday if they pass their interviews. We've got lots of great investigators. Them, this one family that from lesson 1 has just gone nowhere but up! They have really been prepared! So sweet! They've come to church 2 times now and they have a date for baptism on the 26th. The sad thing is it's after transfer day, so if I get transferred which I really don't want to do, I will miss out on their baptism. I was the first one to teach them, I wanna see it all the way through you know? But anyways. 

Bibol is great.  He has a crazy work schedule and so he wasn't able to come to church yesterday but he said yesterday when we taught him about sabbath day and resting that I shouldn't work. That I should go to church, and was like "magtinguha 'ko gid!"  I'll really try and do my best. He's so ready for baptism it's ridiculous haha. But yeah. My illongo is improving slowly but surely. I don't speak much english anymore but no problem for me it's helping a lot which is great. 

My comp is filipino as I've said he's way nice, way cool, no problems! Really it's way sweet. He knows what he's doing which is good. So everything here is great and I'm just trying to do my best you know how that goes. Runnin a little short on time but I'll catch you all later next week. Palangga takamo!!!
