11-17-24 Super Typhoons

Aloha mai kākou! Another beautiful week here in the Philippines, filled with level 5 super typhoons, and weddings and baptisms! We felt so blessed, and were able to be parts of experiences, that I will remember, for the rest of my life. However, like every week, Ill just share one. SUPER BUSY, so itll be shortt. The experience I want to share happened as Elder Bohman and I, headed out to our area and came across a younger man, around the same age as me. His siblings are members, he used to be taught, he and his girlfriend have a young baby, and we met him sitting on the side. Sitting with him, talking, explained his situation. I felt like I was simply back home, talking with my friends. I asked questions, had a few thoughts I wanted him to think about, and as Elder Bohman and I bore our testimony, we promised him, that the same happiness that he expressed he felt, can come back. Testifying again, set him on date for baptism. The Lord continues to answer prayers, to prepare hearts, and allow us to witness, his love that he has for each of his children. Of such I am thankful. The Lord loves, jahs trahs. The Lord tries us, just endure. ELDER ISHIBASHI
