RAYNALDO IS BAPTISED!

Soooo good to hear about everything that's going on at home. It's so funny how life just goes on haha. But good!!! Keep telling me all about what's been going on. :) HAHAH Aunt Ruth. She sent me a birthday card which was really nice.

SO this week was VERY awesome!!!! The highlight was Raynaldo's Baptism!!!! :D He was baptised on the 12th of July! And confirmed by me on the 13th :) There was three baptisms in our branch on Saturday night :) I wasn't ready for the Joy I felt for Raynaldo. The look on his face was PRICELESS. sheer joy. I'm so happy for him!!!! He's Filipino and doesn't speak much English! But after he came out of the water he shook my hand and said "thank you, thank you so much. Thank you so much for your sacrifice." And he was just so happy.

Smiling like there was no tomorrow. So happy for him!!!!!

Also we had the AP's come and visit and train and we learnt a buttload! :)

Funny Story! We taught these 2 investigators (Mailie & Aner) with two members ( Pauline and Ruthana) at the college. And after we finished an awesome plan of salvation lesson then asked me to sing. And i said no but then I said.. I will put my faith in all of you. I will sing if you promise me you'll come to church tomorrow. They agreed and I sang I'm trying to be like Jesus. The next day at church we had 8 Investigators at church 4 from the college!!! :) It was kinda funny but really awesome to see those kids all supporting eachother and loving the gospel together. They should be getting baptised in the next 3 weeks :)

Thanks for your testimony Dad! You're are an awesome ward mission leader and you always magnify your callings and have always been an awesome example for me. I always tell people your convert story and use it with investigators to show them that anyone can change :P haha.

But I do appreciate your testimony and love for this gospel. It helped build mine. You and mum were so right to make sure I developed my own testimony and didn't force me into a mission. I'm so glad I'm here for the right reasons. I'm making the most of all this precious time and I'm working as hard as I can. Thanks for your example Dad.

So glad you and mum are studying the scriptures. We all take the knowledge we gain in this life to the next and the only knowledge really worth while is that of spiritual value haha.

:) Love you and miss you! :)
