Dear Family and Friends,

It sounds like conference was great, everyone's email is talking about it.  I am excited to watch it this week.  The branch president isn't sure if we will be able to watch it in our little meetinghouse or not.  Hopefully we will be able to, if not we will go to the Sorsogon District Center and watch it. So I am looking forward to that later this week.

So we had a great week.  On Tuesday was MLC so Sister Natividad the other STL in Sorsogon went to Legazbi.  It was a great meeting.  I just love learning from President Guanzon.  It is always so inspiring.  President and the Assistants did a workshop about finding and particularly the faith to find.  It was really great.  They talked about acting in faith to find-staying out until the very last minute of the day finding.  It was really inspiring.

The rest of the week went great.  We were able to find a lot of investigators.  On Wednesday we were walking to an appointment and we stopped to talk to this lady outside her house.  We got to talking and she said how she was the cousin of President Roman.  (Remember president roman was the district President in Bulan that died and we went to his funeral).  She said that she had been taught by the missionaries before, but she would lose contact because sometimes she would go to manila to work.  We came back on Saturday and were able to teach her whole family and give them a baptismal date.

Well more great weeks to come.
