Magandang Araw Po,
It's More Fun in the Philippines:
- The other night I was walking on a narrow path between two rice fields. It was pitch black, and I felt quite confident that even without a flashlight I would be fine. BIG MISTAKE, because not too long later I slipped into the rice field and lost my shoe in a foot of mud. From there I had to reach in and grab it out of the mud and walk about a kilometer without a shoe.
- I have a new companion. Elder Julian from Isabela, Philippines. He is energetic, and we are getting along SOOO WELL.
Sunday, March 1, was the wedding of Aillen and Crisostomo Icamina (Two people that we are teaching). It was a simple wedding held at the church, and ultimately one of the most beautiful weddings I have attended. However, earlier in the morning a frightening event occurred. After church concluded, Elder Julian and I went to fill out a few papers, but as we were leaving to do so I had a strong feeling, which I later realized was a prompting of the Holy Ghost, to turn around and talk to the soon to be bride and groom. As I approached them, sister Aillen collapsed back in her chair and began convulsing. Before she hit the ground I caught her in more or less a baby cradle and lowered her gently to the ground as she shook. I tossed my bag under her head as to keep her from hitting the floor. From there a few members came quickly to help by moving chairs away from her and giving her space. Brother Crisostomo was calm through it all, because he said this was not the first time; however, I, on the other hand, was quite terrified as this was my first experience with any sort of Epileptic fit. Not long after, Sister Aillen fully recovered, and a few hours later was married to her husband, Crisostomo.I am simply glad that the Holy Ghost guided me toward Sister Aillen, and that I was ready to listen and act on the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
