Missionary Moments - Elder Nathan Rowlings. Philippines Legazpi Mission



My investigators... there's quite a few, we have 18(?) with a baptismal date 9 or 10 of which are from me inviting, because we invite on the first visit, because everyone here wants to follow the example of Jesus Christ, but they need to church for four weeks in a row, which none of them seem to be able to do. The main investigators are J. and A., they are little kids. I think J. is 12, not sure how old A. is, they've been taught for ages by the missionaries, and they really want to be baptized, but their father doesn’t want them too, he never seems to be around (working or sleeping maybe), but he doesn’t want them too because he paid a lot of money for them to have water sprinkled on their head when they were a child. They have probably one of the richest houses here in Ligao, I go there with a vain hope that the father might be there that we can teach him. Then there is some other ones, but there all students and stuff, and I don't know them that well, and I think one of them is hiding from us... But J., and A. are my favourite to teach

So this week, you're probably wondering why my email is late.

I took a train to Legazpi with some other missionaries because ….. Elder Russel M. Nelson came to Legazpi.
