Sister Wilwand: McDonalds delivers?? Talking to people sure does!

Hi!!!! I hope you guys are having fantastic weeks, because we definitely are!!!

This week was the best!! We've been applying the things that Elder Bowen was telling us about in his conference, and it has been so great!! Guess who is finally getting better at talking to people?? That would be my companion =] Ok, just kidding. We're both getting better at it, and it's going great!! One day this week we got punted from all of our appointments, so we just went around talking to people. It was probably one of the coolest days in my mission. We talked to so many people, and met some really cool and some really weird ones.

We also had the chance to go on exchanges with our STLs this week, and it was great! The Sister that I was able to go with, Sister Cestona, is an amazing missionary! I learned so much from her, even in just the little time that we got to spend together. It was way fun! Oh, did you guys know that McDonalds delivers? Well, here in the Philippines, it does. We didn't want to cook when the STLs, so we ordered McDo, and they came and brought it to us =D

McDo (Tagalog for McDonalds???) Delivery

Do you want to know why else this week was so great??? We had baptismal interviews for 3 of our kids on Saturday, and THEY PASSED!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!! I can't even explain to you in words the excitement that I am feeling. We were so nervous (for no reason), that our kids wouldn't pass, but they did, and now they are getting baptized on Saturday. It is going to be the best thing ever!!! I just can't even wait. That's pretty much the best thing that happened in our area this week.

And we've also had some other miracles. We have this family that we are teaching, and they are fantastic!! They've come to church three Sundays in a row, and they love it! We've only taught the Dad once, but he seems willing to listen when he's there. This family is amazing, and we just love them so much. We're hoping that they will just keep coming and keep wanting to learn more about the church. It'll be great!!!

We also had a cool experience this weekend with one of our service projects. We were cleaning one of the streets in one of the other Sisters' areas, but while we were doing it, we were just talking to a whole bunch of people. It was way fun! We met some really cool people, and then we also got a bunch of referrals for the Sisters that are in that area. It was a cool area just to get comfortable with talking to people. It was one of the coolest service projects that we've ever done. Love it! It's the best thing to be a missionary here!!
