Thank you for your emails. It sounds like you all had a great thanksgiving. I wish I could have joined in the turkey bowl and the skiing, but we had a good thanksgiving here. The Baileys treated us well. There was way too much food as apparently the Filipinos don't understand the concept of the holiday, eating! Some of them ate before they came! At any rate Elder Wangsgaard and I (the two American elders) did a good work. I ate so much that when I tried to stand up, I sat right back down! It hurt too bad to stand. Success!
I experienced my first “Dressed in white, twice!” today. Two of our recent converts went to the temple today to do baptisms for the dead. That will be great for them.
On Sunday we had 8 investigators at church! I don't get it. We are now focusing on the members and then all of the sudden all of the investigators came to church. I love this work!
Well I am officially out of time. I had to write two letters to President Schmutz because the first one didn't send right and got lost. Suffice it to say, I am learning a lot and am grateful that the Lord has entrusted me with the trials I have. There is no other way to be learning these experiences.
Love you all!
Elder Schenk
