Wade in Tacloban: Baptism

So the highlight of the week was that we had a baptism! Sister Glaiza was baptized, James Carlo had a fever so he missed his baptism so we will probably just move it to this Saturday. We also committed the Monte De Ramos Family to baptism in April and they accepted so we were excited.

I had exchanges this week with a new elder in my zone from Georgia. We had a super good time and we found lots of people. After the exchange another companionship was having exchanges but they had to sleep at our apartment to be on time the next day so they worked a little bit and we had a pretty good time. Aside from that we are basically teaching the same people the work is kinda slowing down but we are still working hard.

Also I was introduced to the doctrine of the Community Ministries and the Pentecostal Church this last week with two different investigators who decided that we needed to hear some pretty crazy interpretations of the bible but it was really funny.

One of the pics with me and Elder Tabelisma with lipstick on our faces was because we had an FHE and we played a game and everytime we lost we got more lipstick on our face. Needless to say we lost a lot haha.

Anyways I know that this Gospel leads to true happiness and helps us not have to worry about what is true. I am grateful especially for additional scriptures that help us not be confused with the Bible.

Love you tons!!!
