We had a great baptism this last week. We had 4 converts and 2 kids who are children of record (meaning one or more of their parents are members and they are active in the church so don't need to be taught by the missionaries) but all are ages 8-12 years old. It was so fun. They were like fun little angels all dressed in white and looking their bests! Lots of people came and the branch president's daughter was baptized too so they brought spaghetti and soda and chocolate muffins and buko-pie! (cocoanut-pie) It was so great, the spirit was there, everyone was happy and there were no mis-haps, it was just so great to see these kids share their testimonies and their desire to be good and to willingly follow the commandments, and to see their love for Jesus Christ and have reverence for His atonement. I know God will bless them for their willingness to follow Him. I know that God loves and blesses all His children (that's all of us) as we follow His commandments and become as a child, submissive, meek, humble, and pure in heart.
love you all,
