Even though we have spent countless hours finding members and mapping the ward, there still seems to be part member families that we dont know about haha. One of them came to church this week and has two kids (10 &11) that have not been baptized so we set up an appointment with them and so this week we will work it all out. Marrientte Joves, the cousin of Jazz, came to church for the second time on a row and has a baptism date of September 8. She is super excited to be baptized and we have seen her and her family change as we come over and teach her. We taught Ashley, the lesson was very interesting. Ashley is a 12 year old girl who really loves Americans, her mom doesn't allow her to speak Tagalog at the house and so she always speaks English to everyone. She does not have too many close friends at the church because she only speaks English to them haha. Anyways we taught her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we just used it as language practice for Elder Mahinay, he taught a great lesson in English and I found out that i suck at teaching in English haha, yeah it is much easier to teach in Tagalog, i never thought i would say that but its true. She has a baptism date for the 8th of September as well.
The best part of the week was that JAZZ FINALLY GOT BAPTIZED!! I have been pushing it and waiting for this for almost 6 months! I was so happy it finally happend! I am blessed to still be here to witness the baptism and it was a very powerful spiritual experience. The next step for the Joves family is the temple hopefully they can continue to do what they need to in order to enter the temple!
Twas a great week! Love you all, remember to read the Book of Mormon everyday!
