Typhoon Week!

This was an interesting week. Even though the bagyo caused some problems in the work we were able to do some really great work. First we were able to find a family with the help of Elder S. and Elder D.. They are a less active family who really wants to come to church again. They have children varying from ages 9-16 who would like to be baptized. It was a huge miracle and I am very hopeful/excited to help them progress towards baptism. We were also visiting an investigator family and had a powerful lesson where the spirit was so strong. They agreed to listen more and follow our commitments. We fasted this last Sunday that they would receive the answer of the truthfulness of our message. I am hopeful that they will come to that knowledge. 

The typhoon that we experienced was pretty strong. We had really strong wind and rain but it only lasted about a day. We were safe and the worst that happened was we lost power. It was impressive to see the strength of the storm. It was an exciting time as everyone was preparing for the storm and a relief as it passed. We continued to receive texts from the government concerning updates about it. It felt good to "be in the loop" lol. 

This morning we went on a run to the beach. The waves are still pretty strong which is fun to see! We built a sand castle as well which I really enjoyed doing... haha sorry, I forgot my camera today but i'll send pics next week! Love you all tons! Till next week again!

Love,

Elder Payne
