Time is so weird when you're serving a mission. It feels like it goes by so dang fast while at the same time is goes by extremely slow. It's already the end of my first transfer and I feel like i've been here for one week.
This week we were able to progress all of our investigators surprisingly because usually there's usually a few who try to avoid us and don't want to meet with us. On Saturday we were able to attend the Lopez family's baptism. They are a family in our ward that has been interested in the church for quite some time now. I had the opportunity to teach them when going on exchanges with Elder Sanchez, our district leader. They have been waiting to be baptized for quite some time now and it has been so enjoyable to watch them progress over these last few weeks. It was such an amazing experience to see them all act on their desire to follow Christ. After their baptism they all bore strong testimonies and you could really feel the spirit testifying of the truthfulness of the ordinance of baptism.
Today's Philippines culture lesson is about..............THE JEEPNEY!
These chubby little buses are the main source of transportation to get around the city! They are able to hold as many people as will fit in them. No joke you'll have strangers sitting on the floor and riding on the back of them these things are amazing. They cost 8 pesos to ride which is about the equivalent of 15 cents. These things are great I wish we had these in America.
Also here is a picture of my sidekick here in the Philippines! In celebration of Moana becoming an approved movie in my mission!!!!
That's all for right now I hope you all have an amazing week!!
