hey, so we had a baptism!

this is the crew :) with Edwin his daughter Zam. Baptism girl Emily and her cousins. 

hello po nay,

a quote to start things off: "habits, good or bad are first like cobwebs and then like chains" thats why i love being a missionary such good, clean, organized living. love the schedule.

HEY, SO WE HAD A BAPTISM! Sister Emily (or ate mimi). so she came up to us like my first sunday here with some friends and we were told she dated a boy who just left for his mission to legazpi (right now in Shane Lethabys first area) and wants to be baptized. at that point she was reading the Book of Mormon everyday and has not stopped since! so it was just teaching her and then baptizing her. She is an amazing girl tho. always going above and beyond with all commitments, reffering everybody she knows (we now teach lots of teenage girls lol), and being incredibly easy to teach. she's got some super fun cousins who always come along to listen but the dads pretty anti :/ the baptism was good. kinda just showed up, watched her get bapatized (the boy she's datings dad did the baptizing) and left. sat in the back row, got a picture and out the door. felt super good to see the ward just take care of everything and magnify their callings. because it was before a halloween party in the same building we had some pretty scary people peek their head in lol and a huge attendance! my man Edwin came to support! just excellent.

something funny about Edwin is he wants our missionary "holy sounds". so i copied too much motab onto his USB so he can feel peace while reading the book of mormon or cooking his street food. super awesome eating at his stand with some motab going. it really carries as well for the neighbours. idk just such a good guy! super excited to be baptized here soon!

also got ANOTHER letter from Oma. she now says shes my oma. amen to that!

Hey, don't be like the Zormanites: (great chapter btw) Alma 31
23 Now, after the people had all offered up thanks after this manner, they returned to their homes, never speaking of their God again until they had assembled themselves together again to the holy stand, to offer up thanks after their manner.
24 Now when Alma saw this his heart was grievedfor he saw that they were wicked and perverse people; yea, he saw that their hearts were set upon gold, and upon silver, and upon all manner of fine goods.
