Hello people sorry I'm getting to you late... or early???
hahah but yea what a good week here in Siquijor. So yea let me just start off
by finishing the story last week. We did sit it on a class of Sister Liezl and
let me just say... im not going back to school. Hahah I dont know why i was so
excited but it was really cool seeing her teaching us instead of the other way
around and shes really good at it. But she did grill us with some questions
since we were the only non-fillipinos in the room about politics and yeae kinda
lost my touch in the class room, i guess it doenst help that it was a family
planning class. But yea the baptism of Sister Camela was awesome and even
better that her Father tatay Carlos was able to baptize her.The service was
really and I think Camela was extra clean after she came out, after going under
8 times hahahh. We gave tatay a short run down of what he had to say and do
before they went in but of course because im the tallest, i was the one
volunteered to go out with them to witness it. The first part of it was a
little tricky because its all in english and i kind of felt bad just
interrupting him every time but i mean we did still have work to do that day
hahah. So he got down what he had to say and every thing was good until he went
all Jesus of Nazereth on her. ahahh for those of you that dont get it just
watch the movie but yea instead of leaning her back, he pushed her head into
the water so we were at it again hahah. But eventually he did get it and E
Briones that he didnt get a baptism like that with so many more blessings.
Hahah but yea the rest of the week was good a huge storm rolled in two days ago
and we worked through it yesterday afternoon but eventually it got too bad so
we had to get home. I was doing laba and i couldnt even Elder Briones
beat-boxing from inside because of the rain and i almost got struck by
lightning like im telling yall that this thing was like nextdoor and I was
shivering in my boots(hahah). But yea today we went back to some of my favorite
spots for my last P-day here on the island and it was funnnn hahah oi i almost
forgot HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Just to let you know Elder B is my valentine pero
dili mi bayut huh. Thank you so much for the support sorry this one was crazy
but yea spiritual moment i gave a talk in church and I really felt something,
repentance is such an amazing aspect of the Plan of Salvation and it should
never be a negative part of our lives, because its there to help us progress.
So grateful for the Savior and his example and his sacrifice that makes it
possible for all of us. thank you all and press forward in faith!
