Philippines Legazpi Mission: Elder Feraer

Baptism day of Sis. Leslie, Bro. John Mar, Sis. Janice, and Bro. Dexter! 😃 Baptismal place is in Bulan Chapel, Sorsogon. Many members and some relatives attended this important event and ordinance to show their support and love for them. Elder Mallabo's investigator also got baptized today. We're all happy for them. 😊 

We arrived early so we can prepare all the things that was needed. 

As usual, a lot of picture taking before the actual baptism. 😀 We're also happy that Branch President Lao is present today.

Janice and Dexter are younger siblings of our recent convert (Sis. Judy Mae). They are both fun and energetic kids. They are also playful but once the lessons started, they really listen. Both of them also attends church every Sunday. Hopefully their mother and their older brother will be next for baptism so they will be complete. 😊

In the evening went to Batang and fulfill all our appointments there. It was a wonderful day. Personally, I'm really happy for all the newly baptized members of the church today. I really do hope that they'll all endure to the end.

My companion is sick today. We just finished weekly planning session and he rest. All I did today is read and ponder. It also reminded me the importance of having emergency fund. I will continue doing it even after this mission.

We had an unusual District Meeting today. Our meeting house is close and we didn't have a key to open it. Our Branch President is away right now. We all decided to do it in our apartment. It's unusual but it really feels comfortable though. Haha. It is still a good meeting regardless. Elder Alvaro is a good District Leader and a good missionary too. We're looking forward to the improvements of Bulusan area. He and Elder Gonzales will do wonders as long as they are united. We believe in them.

A lot of walk-a-thon in the afternoon while under the scorching heat of the Sun. We're fried missionaries today. Haha. This part of Carriedo is our farthest area without any mode of public transportation. The only way to get there is if you only have private vehicle or a horse or a carabao. Unfortunately, we didn't have any of it but we're not complaining about the 30 minutes or more of walking (just a little bit). Just kidding, we're used to this. 😉 Meeting and sharing the gospel with the Ofalsa and Despuig Families are all worth it. They also gave us fresh coconut and we ate and drink it before we return to our apartment.

We had productive missionary work in the morning. It was a good start and we kept that momentum for the rest of the day. In the afternoon we went to Macawayan. It was our first time crossing that bridge over there. We seize every moment and find as many people as we can to share the gospel. We went back to Bacolod in the evening and finish our day with our appointments. We had twenty-two lessons overall and we also met four new investigators.

P-Day! We did our usual preparation day routine. In the afternoon we went to Bacolod for the baptismal preparation this coming Saturday. Most remaining investigators (Leslie, Edwin, Janice, and Dexter) of the two Gibada families will be baptized soon and we're all excited about it. 😀 We also played a little bit of basketball and bonded with them afterward. We finish this day by having a Family Home Evening with Lelis Family.

We did our weekly planning today. We tracted in the afternoon. We're most productive in our evening work. We had fifteen lessons today. My companion taught me how to solve Rubik's cube. We had a good day overall.
