This week has been a very busy week, and very strange as well. Lets start with some of the weird things.
First off we went to a Born Again Church, our two American Investigators invited us over. It was very different, with some similarities. I don't really want to talk about what I didn't like, but I will gladly say what I liked. It was definitely a lot more entertaining then our church, there was a lot of singing, standing, and clapping. They also said "Praise the Lord" and "Can I get an Amen" They seem very excited about church every day. We were also gladly welcomed into their church, everyone happy, and people even taking pictures with us, it was a very warm environment. They taught about what they believe will happen in the last days, some things are the same of what we believe, and some are the understanding of men that are understandable, but hard to believe. We then went home and had the sacrament. Even though it was fun, I think I will surely stay a Mormon.
I also wanted to tell you about the "HeyJoeShow" It is a youtube series made by missionaries that got home from there mission here in Cebu, just last year. They made a series of funny videos in Visayan, the language here. And now they are famous, they came back to the Philippines this week, and they are on many of the different news channels here, it is hard to find a person who does not know who they are.
Of fun things, we found a really cool swimming pool, an abandoned one, along with a resort that had been rundown. Its amazing, but has been destroyed over time, and looks like the ruins of an ancient civilization, finding cool things while tracking.
Love You,
