This week has been good!! We've definitely seen some miracles going on in this ward and in this area.
So first of all, we're having another baptism!!! It's going to be on the 26th, next Friday. And it'll e a perfect birthday present! We are so so so excited for the people getting baptized this next week. They are amazing, and we love them so much!! We have 5 people that are getting baptized. A mom, and 3 of her daughters, and then a cousin/niece of some of our members. It is going to be fantastic!!
We've also had some good progress with a couple of our other investigators. We have two other girls who are hopefully going to get baptized on the 11th. That is going to be a hectic day! That's the day that they broadcast general conference over here, so we're hoping that everything will work out for that baptism.
Yesterday was a really good day!! We had the chance to see one of our recent converts pass the sacrament, and it was so cool! He's a 12 year-old boy who just barely got baptized, and he was a little nervous, but he did well, and it was cool to see him using the priesthood that he has been given!! I also found out about an hour before sacrament meeting that I was giving a talk, so that was a little scary, but it was all good. I guess it's true about missionaries always being prepared. My talk was about missionary work, so it was pretty easy =]
Yesterday was also kind of crazy. We went home after church to eat, and then went to one of our appointments with our investigators. Right when we were in the lesson, it started pouring rain and the wind was blowing so hard. So when went out after the lesson and on our way home, we got soaked!! At one point, there was a truck that came roaring by and completely soaked us. We were already wet, but it was a fun experience ;) Luckily, at this point, we were already on our way home... Yikes! And even this morning, it was still pretty windy and raining pretty hard. I guess that's why it's more fun in the Philippines =D
A very drenched Sister Wilwand!
I think that's about it that happened this week. Oh, I did meet someone from Canada the other day. He's actually from B.C. It was very weird talking to him in the middle of the street. All of the people here were staring, but it's all good! It was cool to talk to someone in english for a change.
Ok, that's about it. We're just trying to prepare for all of the people we have getting baptized soon. I love you all!! This work is true!
Love,
Sister Wilwand
