Hey all,
Things are amazing! I am doing well physically, working out
again with weights, and spiritually as well, having been just blown away
by President Schmutz's workshop in ZLC yesterday about why obedience is
the first law in Heaven.
Our interviews got changed over from the Fri to Mon 5th... so that
Monday we had the interviews which started with a workshop from
president then we did our workshop and were quickly interview by
President Schmutz before heading out early to catch the bus to Cebu for
ZLC the very next day. So at 3pm we were on the bus to Cebu and by 9pm
we finally made it. We ate at KFC and then slept at the Ap's apartment.
That next morning ZLC started at 9am at the chapel by the temple, were
in we all reported our zone progress and then President Schmutz gave his
Spirit filled workshop for a good 2 hours. Then we had an amazing lunch
done up by Sister Schmutz and Sister Ernstrom (the office couple
sister) It was all American style food, with hamburgers, hotdogs and
chilly beans... real cheese, and even yellow corn! Then a desert of
cheese cake (again the real stuff) with ice cream and blueberries. Oh,
it was sooo good! Then we went back to workshops from the office couple
about the funds and other things and then a workshop by the AP's on the
Area Book. It was a busy day, then we had to rush to catch the bus back
that night to Negros but when we got to the terminal... NO SEATS! NOOOO!
so we got stuck there that night sleeping at Apas again before we
sakay-ed back this morning on the Ceres, getting back at 10:30 Soooo
kapoy!
So well be back to work again these next few days and will try to catch
up on the lessons. Just a few things i wanna request for the package...
don't forget vegemite and cherry ripe. Thank you daan!
Sister D-A came to church again and really feels something there,
which is good... so now we just have to help her kids all feel something
too, but they're all independent adults right now and starting to get
their own jobs and things so we have to work around 3 separate schedules
to fit everyone in... but I'm sure it'll work out some how.
All the Americans are on about the election today... we'll see how that turns out.
I've
finished reading "The Miracle of Forgiveness". Truly an amazing book...
and I gained so many insights into the process of repentance and the
Atonement. A funny book to read,
if you find a copy, is the "Day of Defense". Great references of
doctrine to share with people.
So that's pretty much it for now... things are doing great and I will try
to take some pictures this week for you, so you can see just how much of
paradise this place really is!
Miss you all,
Love you always
Elder Taylor Addison Cox
