Plan B

One of the biggest challenges of missionary work is when things don't go as planned.We were supposed to go to Manila for some training on our new assignment today but they changed it to tomorrow because we have a new couple coming in late tonight and they wanted to get us all together.They won't be helping with apartments because their assignment is CES. They are actually looking at getting a new program going here that will be similar to the Pathways program from BYU-I but it is connected with BYU-H. Sounds interesting. Any way we  went to plan b and went around and told everyone that the meetings for tomorrow were cancelled(pec & bp) and then we met up with the missionaries but most of their appointments had also cancelled. That can get frustrating but we were able to teach a few people.They had asked Zeus Madalang-awa to go with them. It is so wonderful to see the change he has made in the past few months. We started working with him when we first got here and now  he has gone from  inactive and unhappy to sharing his testimony and wearing a white shirt and tie. After our last appointment we then had a teaching appointment with him and taught about the oath and covenant of the priesthood. It was good; missionary work is the best!
