Well this week was crazy. I’ll start out on Tuesday- we go to teach John and find out JOHN IS BEING BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! Ha. President decided he is ready and we don’t need to wait one more week. And yeah well it goes against the standards but President calls the shots soooo yeah. We hurry and prepare him! Ha. We end up going there every day of the week ha. Wednesday was my 9 month mark so yeah that was crazy. We had a really good day of teaching with a strong spirit is like all of our lessons. Couldn’t have asked for a better day! We even go to do some community service! And when I say we I mean Sister Whaanga did as I walked behind. We were walking down a mountain after teaching and we see a lady bringing 2 pals of water up a mountain. So we ask to help- and she keeps trying to say no because she said she lives far. But we couldn’t let her do it alone! It as hot! Anyways so like I’m a weakling and couldn’t lift the pal of water because it was like heavy! But Sister Whaanga could ha. So she carries one and the lady carried one. And I walk behind hahaha. But man- I was TIRED> And I didn’t even carry anything. She wasn’t joking when she said she lives far. She was AT THE TOP! But yeah its all good. She is nice and said we can go back to teach her. We just haven’t made it up the hill yet… Its really high up ha. Saturday was the baptism! YAY! John was so happy! He is a quiet person but he just kept smiling the whole time. I felt the Spirit and knew that he was ready for this. He really has changed since the missionaries started teaching him. We had another investigator show up to the baptism, Eillen. She is so funny and so great. Afterwards she says “seguro ako yung susunod!” meaning “maybe I’ll be the next one!” So yeah- hopefully! Ha. Sunday was Johns confirmation and he was ordained to a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. He is excited and so happy to finally be baptized. I can’t believe this even happened still. It was all so fast but so happy and exciting. I am really happy with where I am right now. I feel like I am doing what the Lord needs me to do. And I am so grateful to be here with all these amazing people. I love this work! I hope you are all doing good too!
Mahal ko kayo!
