Kamusta
kamo??!
I am
still getting used to this whole calling every week. It is really weird, but I
like it! But anyways, i love getting good
laughs from you guys every time we call! Our family is the best!
Well
like I said. the highlight of this week was for sure the baptism we had on
saturday! It was hopefully suppose to be the gallo family (bro included), but
it was still such a special experience! So on saturday morning we all went to a
beach call navalas for the baptism of Ram-ram and tresha Gallo. It was low tide
which made it interesting, we had to walk way for out into the ocean, which i
am not complaining about, the water felt great. I had the opportunity to
baptize Ram- ram (Ramyr paul is his real name) and Elder Alegado got to
experience baptizing for the first time, by baptizing tresha. It was a special
day. After they were baptized, they both shared very short, but profound
testimonies. Ram ram said in his that when he grows up, he wants to be a
missionary! That made me really happy, that what we are doing, he also wants to
do someday! I also know that the Lord will provide a way for their dad to get
married so he can be baptized as well, so they can be complete as a
family! I love the Gallo family so much! Teaching them has been the an awesome
experience! Seeing them happy makes me really happy and makes the mission worth
it!
Earlier
today we went on a hike for our zone activity. We hiked up what they call
balaan bukid (holy mountain) Its called that, because there is this huge cross
on the top, because everyone here is christian. The view was so cool! I could
see 2 of my previous areas in iloilo (city and LaPaz) We got some awesome
pictures! Also when we got to the top, we all had a discussion and testimony
meeting about the atonement of Jesus Christ. It was really cool and fun
activity!
Well
that should do it! I am so grateful that I have this opportunity to serve a
mission! Serving a mission is the best decision I have made! It has changed my
whole perspective and it is such a great experience, that I can't even really
describe it!
Love
you guys have a great week!
