Apparently It's Not Hot!?

   Kamusta kayo aking mga kaibigan!?! Another week is over! So crazy. This week flewwww by. Some great things happened!


   I'm gunna start with the thing I loved most about this week. We had a baptism on Saturday! His name is Brother Marchan. He's such a stud. Before I got here, my trainer had been teaching him since April. He really wanted to find truth which was super awesome since lots of people we meet are content with living the religion they were born into. Which is almost always Catholic. But from what I've been able to see is that Brother Marchan really does believe in the gospel. In So stoked for him. One of the biggest challenges with recent converts here in our mission is retention, but He hasn't missed a day of church in a few months and he has lots of friend's in the ward, so we have high hopes for him.


   The other great part was we found 13 new people. Our goal was 10 which ive heard is usually pretty high but we were blessed big time this week. 


   Funny story from Pday (today)! We were out getting groceries and me and my Comp are standing waiting in line to pay. I'm looking around and I see a group of like five 15-16 year old Filipinas with their phones out videoing me. I tried to act like I didn't see them but it was kinda weird since they were only like 5 feet away, no joke. What boldness hahaha.


    Anyways, that was this week! I'm going to send another email with all of The pictures! 

 
Verse of the Week


Mosiah 2:41 
41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.


Love Ya'll! 


Peace


Elder Baker

A Short One

Hey everyone!! Today's been a bit busy so I'm just going to give a little spiritual thought. Spiritual Thought  Helaman 14:31   31 He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.    I testify of the joy of daily restoration. Through repentance and the atonement of Jesus Christ, we can all choose to have the good restored unto us. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He loves me. And I know He loves each and every one of you. I love all of you! Peace Elder  Baker

I love reading them no matter the content hahaha the more random, the better the laugh I get. So feel free!! Anyways, my past week was great but very fullll! Lets get into it!     Tuesday we had Zone Conference which was 2 hours away. We had to wake up at 5 in the morning and ride in a jeepny. I was still somewhat sick on tuesday so that ride killed me. At Zone Con I actually felt pretty decent, which was a tender mercy 100%. We got a ride home from the APs which was so fun. They are a wild couple o' Elders haha. But I do look up to them a ton. They are studs.      Wednesday was so awesome. We were applying some of the things we l...
