So this week has been a pretty good week for the work here in our area!! So
to start off, we did have our 2 baptisms this week!! That was so awesome and it
was a great experience for them!! I got some pictures and I'll probably send them
to you guys either this week or next week so you can see. But they did get
baptized so that was really good!!! We also are still having some great work in
our area and are getting another person ready for baptism on the 30th of may!! So
that is good news also!!! So we might have 3 baptisms this May and then right
now we have 4 planned for June so that is going really well!! We are trying to
have a model area in our area and I would say we are doing a pretty good job so
far! So that has been the good news for the work here in our area!!!
Um our roommates are pretty cool!! One is named elder De Leon. We were actually in the same district when I first got into the mission. He trained
someone from my batch, so I really know him well and he is an awesome guy!! And
his companion is elder Wigington. He actually is from the India mission and is
waiting for his visa to get back! So that is pretty interesting. He doesn't know
any Tagalog like at all. So its kinda funny... we just sometimes speak Tagalog and then he has no idea whats going on. Then I try and translate it
into English and gosh it's hard... it's just so different and such a different
culture!!!
So as for me, I'm doing pretty good. I have no idea why, but like on Tuesday I got this nasty infection on my face. And I literally look so gross so I took
like no pictures. It's starting to get better and it's clearing up but its
probably gonna be like 3 more days before that happens. So I'm sorry for little
pictures. I feel so gross looking. hahaha It's probably because of the heat
here. It's been so hot lately. It's been crazy and just so annoying!! But that's
okay. I guess it's just part of missionary work.
So another crazy thing happened in our mission. A sister in our mission, I
didn't really know her at all, she passed away this last Thursday night. Her
name was sister Victorino. So keep her family in your prayers. She got a
sudden sick illness and they couldn't get it to go away. It shut down some
vital organs in her system. So keep her in your prayers. I didn't know her very well at all. I'd seen her like once but I felt really bad. There is a service
for her later today. Only some people are going. But it was just a sad
time in our mission. But through it all, we are supposed to look on the bright
side and just think of the beauty of the atonement and the knowledge we have of
the fullness of the plan of our father in heaven. So that has been comforting
to the missionaries here. Our mission president is doing such a great job and he
is just literally the man... he's so incredible.
So those were the highlights of the week!! I can't believe how fast the
time is going by. I have like 4 and a half months left almost. It's so
crazy!! Don't worry, I'm still masipag and that wont change... (: So remember the
church is true!! Oh by the way, I'm almost done with the book of Mormon again. I'm in 3rd Nephi chapter 20. I'm hoping to finish this week. So let's see how
that goes!! I hope you guys have a great week!! Don't worry about me I'm doing
all good and am still working hard!!
Love you guys!!
Mahal ko kayo!!(:
Elder Hedman
