Heyooo
so I've been here in Baguio for 2 transfers. 1/8 of my mission and now I got transferred
again. These are special transfers which means they aren’t regular...(seems
kinda obvious no?) Any way’s, I will be transfered back to the Hot Lowlands
to.... Drumroll Please* AGOO ZONE!! DEMORTIS WARD as a zone leader again. If
I'm there until I "die" or end the mission, I will never have had a
time in the mission as a regular missionary. I was in a leadership calling from
the time I left my Training. I'm super excited because I will be able to go
back and visit in my very first area, Agoo 3. I'll go back and show them that I
actually know how to speak Tagalog now haha.
Another cool thing is
that WE HAD A BAPTSM!!! It was nanay Virgie Dis-Ing. She’s a sweet heart and
kinda like a mom/gramma to us. Her family is slowly converting to LDS, 3 of them
are now baptized. I'm sure there will be many more but it will take time, like
a steady trickle of baptisms rather than 10 people all dressed in white at
once. She asked me to Baptize her except... there is no heater here in
Baguio and the water is very cold! But when I began to say the baptismal prayer
I didn’t really feel the cold; it was as if it was heated all of a sudden. I'm
sure it was cold for Nanay though when I dunked her haha.
She also asked me to confirm
her the next day at church. This was my first time to do so, so as I confirmed
her a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints my knees
were shaking so bad, like super super bad. But I was able to finish it and did
a good job.
Love you all, it’s
mango season here in the Philippines, I'll have a couple for yalls :)
