So yah,
Family week...
It's a Filipino holiday I guess. We celebrated it with the branch on Saturday
which was also my birthday. We went on a motorcade around the town and
we held up signs that said stuff like "Families are eternal!" and other
Mormon stuff, haha. It was really annoying cause all the people on
motorcycles honked the whole time and it was giving me a headache.
Then we went back to the church and played these dumb games. The
branch bought me a cake though and sang this totally messed up version
of the happy birthday song. Then they came and put cake on my
face. Prettyfunnnnn...
Later in the evening the sister
missionaries had a baptism and they had me be the baptizer since it was
my birthday. Super cool. The guy has been an investigator since
June I think. He is 22. We also had one of our investigators get baptized
on Thursday,
his name is Frankelli. He is 8 years old and he is an African-Filipino.
His mom is a member so it didn't count as a
convert baptism, but that's okay! Salvation all the same!
I
bought a mosquito net so that has minimized the bites. They are still
always floating around me though, all the flippin time. In the shower,
in the bathroom, during study, anywhere really. So I'm always swatting
the air. haha.
