This week was great we got to help some people sack their rice Palay and had a sweet baptism in the river instead of at the font at the church.
I saw some people from my last area here and got to ride in the back of their truck to our appointment. It's cool here because you can just straight up hitchhike if you want and its all cool. Also I've been here for so long I pretty much know everyone so it's like asking a bunch of friends if I can get a quick ride down the road, haha!
We've been working on overcoming fears this week and I promise it's hard but you change more and become so much better. My companion is shy in talking to people so we talk to as many people we can and it's helped him a ton. I remember one person who told me that's the point of life is to face fears. I don't agree on it's the point of life but it sure is important, because how do we become our better selves if we don't? I remember something that one of my coaches told me long ago, he said, " become comfortable with the uncomfortable. Because when changes come that are uncomfortable you're ready and can take it on." I agree wholeheartedly. We need to do things that are hard to become stronger, like muscle, if you work it out you'll get stronger, but if you don't it weakens. Let's try facing some fears and grow this week guys! I know you can do it and you'll love yourself afterwards (1Nephi3:7), He doesn't give anything to us we can't do! Love you guys keep up the good work!
