Malapit na ang transfers muli/ Oct 22

Dear Family, This past week has been another wonderful week. Lots of stuff happened. We had interviews in 4 zones, went on exchanges, finished the rescue book and did some other awesome stuff. This past week I had a couple cool experiences. One of them happened in San Jose. This past week we had interviews in San Jose in the morning but that afternoon we had interviews at the neighboring zone. When we left San Jose we accidently took the key to the stake center with us and we didn't have time to take the key back until that evening. When we went back to take the key we called the sisters who borrowed it to meet them in their area. They were in a lesson so we parked and bought a little bit of food because we hadn't eaten since that morning. The sisters then came and met us and when we went back to the car we saw a man looking oddly at the car. We decided to talk to him and we found out he was a less-active member who wanted to come back to church. We quickly called the sisters to come back and were really happy to meet this less-active man. We had a wonderful conversation and the man is excited to listen to the missionaries again and to come back to church. After this happened I felt really glad that we forget to give the key back that morning. I feel like there was a reason behind it. Another one of the great expereinces that happened happened yesterday here in Angeles. Every Sunday we work with the Zone leaders here but yesterday they had a meeting with President Martino and the Stake president so Elder Adao and I didn't have anyone to work with. There was one appointment that we went to but the man we were going to visit wasn't home. We really knew of no where else to go so we started walking down unfamiliar streets knocking on doors. It felt like we were opening an area. Elder Adao and I felt like we were opening up a new area. After talked to many people who weren't interested we decided to go down an ally and we tao-poed the first house we saw. A woman came out with her 18 year old son who welcomed us into their home. We all sat down on their cool cement floor and Elder Adao and I shared a lesson with them about the restoration. We found out that she had seen missionaries walk past her house for years but no one had ever tried to talk to her. She also told us how for a long time she had forgotten about God in her life and had recently started praying again. We tuaght a wonderful lesson with their family and the spirit was amazing. The house seemed to light up as we taught. We are going to go back and teach again this week. This week my testimony has really grown that the Lord will lead us to his children we can bless and help. The Lord's timing really is always perfect. Transfers are already next week. Nothing is sure yet but my guess is I'll be staying with Elder Adao for another transfer. I love working with Elder Adao. He is an amazing missionary and we work well together. Another piece of good news is we finally got our rescue book out to the printers! It has been so wonderful to work on this book. I have absolutely loved working on a gift for the prophet. This week we will get hte finished product and I am so excited to see how it turns out. We have put many, many hours into this project. I always say this but I really love being a missionary. It just is such a happy work. It's jsut great being to focus on the Gospel all day everyday. mahal ko kayo Love Elder Leishman
