Our Zone Is "On Fire"

Saturday was day for our mission's goal of having tons of baptisms. We are so very happy to report that 14 wonderful people throughout the zone made a covenant with Heavenly Father and entered into the waters of baptism!! What an exciting day! When we did our follow up calls last night, it wasn't hard, we didn't feel overwhelmed afterwards, we just felt excited and pumped up. Our zone did amazing and we are "On Fire" right now. The assistants told me that our zone is leading the mission as far as baptisms for the month of December. What an exciting time it is to be here and serve with all of these superb missionaries! So basically everything is so good that I fell asleep last night with a smile on my face.

Now is the time to go forth for January, February, and March with an even greater commitment! 

Anyway, tons of stuff has been happening recently so I'll send a ton of pictures with explanations. 

Ingat!!!!!

It was so cool to Skype with my family this week!

The Sisters' baptisms. Brother Jessie and sister Aiden were baptized by our district leader, Elder Binhaon. They were legally married an hour before they were baptized so that they can keep the law of chastity. Also incredibly prepared.

Our faithful and prepared investigator Teddy with his wife and son and daughter. Man this guy was so ready. Him and his wife travel and hour and a half to church every single week and now have a goal for a temple sealing next year.

L-R: Elder Penugao, Brother Jiggs, Brother Joel Pacalan and his wife and Elder Binhaon. Joel was the investigator of these two fine missionaries. He's the son of Sister Pacalan who has been a member for a long time. Brother and Sister Pacalan were married an hour before the baptism service as well! Wow!

All of these wonderful people were baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. Even two children!

Saw this the other day. It is literally an "Egg Plant." I'm not sure how that is possible.

The crocodile farm

Our district had a P-day activity a few days ago at the crocodile farm. L-R: Sister Narag, Sister Martinez, Elder Sorronda, Elder Binhaon, Elder Thompson, Elder Penugao, Sister Holzworth, and Sister Defacto.

Our zone performed at The Baywalk last week. It's a place where lots of tourists like to go, right next to the the bay. There was a big stage there for us to sing on and we sang some really nice Christmas hymns.
