Baptisms for this week.

Steny Rose Limen Utana

Samuel Mayang Nombre III

Stephen Roy Limen Utana

technically, they weren't my baptisms because they live in the sisters part but they were the family that elder parilla and i found and taught for the past few months. they were baptized while i was still assigned here in kabankalan. there are a great family and have really been hungry for the gospel.

there will be more planned this upcoming week hopefully if all is well. they were in the hospital for a week and may still be there.

this week we also celebrated family week by going to hinigaran and participating in a parade. it was ok lang. we then finished it up by having a ward home evening which was actually really fun and a good time.

being a zone leader is busy work. soon it will be over though. for the past few weeks we've been setting things up, having meetings, interviews, trainings, etc. we've also been making the ward records more uniform and organized. also, got a very nice area map now. about 5'x5' big.hopefully this will actually put a good foundation into the missionary work here. when we came here, we both whitewashed in and there was nothing in the area book. so the area will be better for it.

Also, today i received a REVISED itinerary. this is the new itinerary. it can also be found at https://www.checkmytrip.com/cmt/apf/cmtng/pnr_retrieve?SITE=NCMTNCMT&LANGUAGE=US&R=Z6SHPX&N=JOHNSON

the important thing to take from this is that i will be getting home on Thursday DEC 6 at 3:15 PM and at 3:16 i will be hugging my mother and around 3:20 i will be eating a chino bandidos gringo chicken meal with the jade red chicken quesadilla and pork fried rice. probably also a chipotle burrito mixed in there and a chalupa from taco bell and also in n out animal fries. after that, around 4 i will be playing with my cat jack and spot. after that, you could probably find me at my house. or maybe you could even meet me at the airport at terminal 3. you might want to start getting ready, it's only 65 days away!
