Baptism: Jerry Genodipa & Fatima Gabion

chapter 7: pinnacle: work hard work smart

IROSIN | Day 40 |

APRIL 4, 2015:

Today was the baptism of Bro. Jerry and Sis. Fatima! The long wait is over for them. 😃 Many members attended to show their love and support for them. I'm currently 15 months here in the mission and I experienced baptizing in the baptismal font, in the river, in the sea, and in a swimming pool. I really thought that I experienced it all already but it's not. They got baptized in a hot spring! 😶 It was the backup plan of our Branch President because the pool that we shortly rented last time for the baptism is closed. It's not as solemn as the previous places that I mentioned but at the end of the day, the important thing is they got baptized and made an everlasting covenant to our Father in Heaven.

After the baptism, we went back to the meeting house in Irosin to close the baptismal program in there. I also played the piano for this special event. I'm thankful for my companion, he's the one who taught me patiently. 😅

Bro. Jerry is a quiet person. He is a good friend and referral of a recent convert member. Everytime we're teaching Bro. Jerry, Bro. Danilo is always present and we're thankful for his support throughout this journey. We're all happy for Bro. Jerry that he persevered, took the next step, and made this covenant to our Heavenly Father. He also said to us before that he wanted to be an example to his family. 😊

Sis. Fatima is an intelligent and jolly person. She answers really well and that's a testament that she listens to us and read the assignments that we left to her. Her parents is supportive throughout this process, and having youth friends in Irosin Branch also helps. She's happy that she's finally baptized now. 😀

(L to R) Elder Alolor, Sis. Fatima, Elder Feraer

We're all thankful for all the members that attended this baptism. I know that Bro. Jerry and Fatima also appreciates all the support. 😊 Scripture verse of the day, 1 Timothy 6:6.

Bulan District Meeting II

chapter 7: pinnacle: work hard work smart

IROSIN | Day 37 to 38 |

APRIL 1, 2015:

We got a total of nine lessons today including three new investigators that could progress. Scripture verse for the day is Genesis 1:26-27. We are so lucky to be created in God's image. It shows that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ really love us and we are connected to them eternally. We're one big family.

APRIL 2, 2015:

We attended District Meeting in Bulan. It was a kind of surprise to them. We didn't announce it. 😏 We'll do this randomly sometimes to every district in our zone to see if they're doing well. It was a good meeting and this might be the last time that I'll see some of them (transfers are near). Also, today is Sister Boorau's last D.M. before she finishes her mission and returns home soon to Kiribati. She's a good Sister Training Leader and she'll be missed by our Zone. We all thank her for his service here in the Philippines.

While we are eating lunch in Bulan, we saw the news alert that there will be a super typhoon coming. The forecast said the center of the typhoon will hit the Bicol region again. 😨 Later on, we got a text from the Area Presidency that we should prepare for it. The A.P.s also texted us that most of the Elder missionaries in our Zone will evacuate to our apartment. 2 Chronicles 35:6 After that, we immediately texted all our zone mates to prepare for the incoming super typhoon and we also told them that all the elders will evacuate to Irosin while the sisters will be in Bulan. After we prepared our 72-hour kit and extra food supplies, we proselyte and also reminded everyone that we visit to also prepare.
