Howdy Team,
It's been quite the quick week.. both my father and
grandmother mentioned that time is going fast.. and they are right. Scary.
We have been busy. That should be the norm, it is, and we
love it.
The work has taken a hit from the rain.. I will take a
moment to explain rain in the Philippines. When it rains, it pours. Rain is
about as predictable as waves on the beach, always here in rainy season just
sometimes the tide changes funny or the swell leaves. That's when we see the
sun, oh how great the sun is! I do, however, enjoy rain at night because it
makes for cool sleeping conditions. That means I turn the electric fan away
from me (I don't turn it off cause I like the background noise now) and sleep
like a cat at midday. Anyways, back to rain. The season hit about 10 days ago,
which means we have had two consecutive Sundays of rain. Rain on Sunday is
a huge trail... and it has posed quite a challenge for my companion and I as we
ponder how to teach our investigators and less actives in a way that will
inspire them to get their toes wet enough to come to church! We have conquered
trails before, and I have great faith that we will work through this one too.
Rain is not enough to stop me from work, and it will not be enough to stop the
faithful from the blessings of Sabbath Day observance!
President came to the island for zone interviews.. I do love
to receive his counsel at these times. He also informs us on how to help our
zone mates.
I am healthy, promise! I bought more bananas and we
installed a new water filter today. I am forcing the 10:30pm lights out, which
has forced me to manage my nightly hours better. It results in better health
and better days.
Love, your Filipino,
Elder Trevor Todd Brown
PS Elder Shane Brown is in the MTC! What a joy to get an
