August 10, 2014

Family:

This past week has been so amazing. We had the most amazing baptism this past Sunday of the S brothers. Seriously the most spiritual, rewarding experience on the mission- completing families. V's family is the pregnant mother and daughter that we baptized last week. He's seriously the next bishop. Truly, and I'm not just biased because he's our convert. His testimony and conversion that he shares every night when we visit is so powerful. They're already preparing for the temple to be sealed next year! That's when we get to come back to the Philippines :) And then Brother J is from a part-member family. Since J started coming to church, all of his sons have returned. They have three potential missionaries and now they're all starting to prepare! They truly are two amazing families. When we come each night, their two families along with a neighboring family all gather together for our lesson. We sit in this big circle and all we need is a fire in the middle and you call it a bonfire haha. 

But this week has been so fun! On Tuesday we had our last MLC at the mission home, Wednesday was zone training meeting, on Thursday President came and interviewed the brothers for their baptism, Friday we celebrated J's birthday. He's the little son of Brother V and the cutest little thing. Then Saturday was the baptism and we had a ward family home evening, and last night was Sister Canimo's last night of proselyting. We've been busy but it's been so fun being companions with Sister Canimo. She's an amazing missionary. Truly amazing. Her spirit and testimony are the strongest I've ever seen, and she truly knows how to love and serve our ward and investigators. I'll definitely miss her but I know that she has an exciting road ahead of her.

I don't know what else to share but with Sister Canimo leaving, I'll be staying in our area and training a new missionary. All trainers and trainees will meet each other on Thursday morning and then we have three months to look forward to together :) 

I love you! Thank you for all your prayers, you are always in mine :)
