Baptism: Kristine Gonzales & Kristine Joy Gonzales

BAGAMANOC | Day 4 |
APRIL 19, 2014:
I never thought that I will have a baptism this early in our area. 😮 Sister Kristine and Sister Joy are both excited for this day. Yes, they have almost similar names. Haha. They will finally make a sacred covenant to our loving Heavenly Father. Their earthly father is also supportive of their baptism.
Some of the members also attended this special day including some leaders and Kristine & Joy's friends.
It is also my first time to baptize in the river. I remember that John the Baptist also baptizes Jesus Christ in the river and I'm really glad that I was able to experience this. 😊
In the afternoon we went to Samudio Family together with Bro. Bernard as member present. We taught them about Sabbath Day and I hope they will attend church tomorrow. We also met a new investigator, her name is Charmaine. She's receptive and nice and I hope she'll progress. Our last successful appointment for this day is with the Vitalisio family.
Before we went back to Minaili, Bro. Bernard gave us coconuts again and this time I ate 7! New record. 😜 We had a blessed and wonderful day today and I hope there's no electric shortage again tonight. I'm looking forward to my first Sabbath Day in San Vicente branch tomorrow. 😃

Sister Kristine is a bright kid. In the short amount of time that I met her, I can see her interest in the gospel. She listens carefully and answers correctly when we asked her.
Sister Joy is a little shy type of a kid and she also listens quietly to what we are teaching her.
I'm blessed also and honored to be the one that baptized them. Even though we only met in a short period of time I am genuinely happy that they got baptized. I know Elder Ruben will be happy too once he knows this good news. Kristine and Joy are both nice kids and I hope they will progress as daughters of Heavenly Father.
