cold burned rice for dinner with some spam. Count your many blessings! :)

Helo! You may be thinking right now, "Hah! He forgot the second 'l' in

'hello'. What a nitwit!" but actually, that's just how you spell it in

Tagalog. I testify to you this day, I'm no nitwit! :)

I had a super awesome week this week. It didn't wiz on by like yours,

but that's good, because it means I got to savor it more. :) We had

loads of OYMs, lessons, new investigators, and to top it all off, a

family sealed in the temple, and a baptism.

We really did rock our OYMs this week, and it really paid off

resulting in 6 new investigators. 3 of them are 7th Day Adventist like

that nice preacher who gave us yummy carrots, and all they wanted to

do was argue about how Saturday is the Sabbath, but we resisted to

bible bash their brains in, and just bore some powerful testimony

about Jesus Christ and stuff. Probably they won't progress, but who

knows. Faith is a powerful thing! The other three are a nice family

that lives really close to some members. They were investigators like

8 years ago, and are really nice. Probably they will progress. I don'y

have a lot to say about them yet, 'cause we've only met them once. :)

The family that went to the temple is a super awesome family. Tatay

was baptized about 2 years ago, and they finally were able to make the

trip to be sealed. They had a wonderful experience at the temple and

are all super happy! 6 of them were able to be sealed together for

time and all eternity. It's sort of a big deal!

Our baptism on Saturday was awesome!!! Her name is Sister Armalyn. She

was pretty much already prepared for the gospel before we started

teaching her. Every time we taught her a new principle she instantly

applied it. The word of wisdom, keeping the sabbath day holy,

everything. After we taught her the Law of Chastity she got new

clothes that would be more modest. Yesterday we went to teach her and

follow up with how she's doing after being confirmed and stuff and she

told us she wants to serve a mission too! It was so cool!!! Maybe

someday you can see some pictures of her baptism. hahaha

That's so fun you had youth conference last week. Those were always

fun! Sorry that Golden Coral wasn't all that you hoped, but it could

be worse! I had cold burned rice for dinner with some spam.

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Count your many blessings! :)

Tell Isaiah "Hi" for me! Also, what day is his birthday? I know it's

this month, but I forgot which day. Someone else's birthday was coming

up too, but I can't remember who is was. hmmmm..... ah basta. [whatever]

JOKE LANG!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI!!!!! Matandang matanda ka na! [Old, you are old!]

Probably it'll be a super boring without me, but do try to enjoy it

anyways. "Everything must be perfect for my [Heidi's] special day!"

(What's that from?)

map showing Rob's house in relation to the church and Aborlan.

Invitation that we just received in the mail inviting us to come to church with him on Easter. The map was on the back. That is how long it takes to get a letter from him! haha Thank goodness for email!

I'm glad my letter made it safe and sound, and I hope to see you at

church on of these days! haha The main reason I sent those was for the

little map on the back so you can see sort of what my area looks like.

Life was a lot more complicated in Makati, that's for sure!!! The

sticky stuff really isn't that great here. I still have my companion

lick the envelope for me. :) hahaha

[When his letters arrive they are always falling apart and the post office tapes the envelopes back together so the contents do not fall out.]

So yeah. That's all the stuff that happened this week. All in all,

life rocks, and so do mountains. Mahal ko kayo!!! Ingat!!!
