Musta?!

This has been a great week, just like always. IT has been a HOT week, just like always! Oh and before I forget- shout out to some awesome Sisters who have B-DAYS in APRIL, Happy Birthday Chels and Ryl! You are old and I am not... joke, sorta hahaha. Love you tons and it will be fun to see you in a few weeks. Speaking of people I love and a few weeks- MOTHER'S DAY IS SOOON! You know what that means, SKYPE! I will let you know next week probably what time and what not. I am excited!

So, you probably saw in the pictures but this past week they knocked a wall out of our meeting house because we just don't fit! How cool is that? I wanted to take the sledge hammer at it myself! It is great though, more people can see now rather than just listen. Everyone still can't see though- I told them not to worry about this meeting house- just start building a CHURCH! One day Baao will have a church, that will be a great day!

Now i have a sad story. We are teaching an awesome investigator, she came from a member referral and has gone to church and is just AWeSOME! The sad part is when we met the Tatay he said, "I will not allow her to be baptized into that church of yours." And now we just don't know what to do. In 1 week she has read through 1st Nephi and told us, "I don't know what to do. My Dad won't let me go to church anymore and I don't want to go to church anywhere else." It is a rough situation. You have to respect the Tatay- but I am hoping we will be able to talk to him and teach him about what "this church of ours" is all about. She just keeps praying to have her Dad's heart softened. It is sad, but we hope on and pray on and hopefully it will all work out.

Baao is having 4 AWeSOME peop;e baptized into the Branch on Saturday. They are the Sister's Investigators but they are AWESOME!!!!!! I am so excited to go. We are pretty close with them and I interviewed them. It should be great. Pictures to come.

I don't have much else to write about. I think the cutest thing in the world is to watch a little Philipino nipper sing "I am a Child of God." The little girl sang it to me last night and she can't say her r's- it is so cute. She and I and you are all children or God. That knowledge right their should effect every decision we make. I love you all. We have places to go and people to teach! Have a great week! Thank you for your prayers!
