Whenever there are over 25 baptisms on one Saturday we wake up smiling and don't quit smiling until we fall in bed later than night. But the same is true when we only have a few baptisms. Any baptism makes our hearts dance and puts big smiles on our faces. Unfortunately we can't witness every baptism but we do go to as many as we can every week! It's one of our favorite activities in the mission.
In Santiago--
I did an earlier blog post about visiting a precious family for Family Home Evening. Well this is the tatay (father of that family) and we were fortunate enough to be able to attend his baptism. Many of his children and grandchildren are preparing for their baptisms later this month.
A large group of Santiago missionaries sang at the baptism.
Tatay bears his powerful testimony to those who attended the services.
Sister Morales and Sister Hoopes taught this darling young woman and they also serve in one the Santiago Wards.
In Cabatuan--
Sister Klein and Sister Saez taught this great young man. He is already looking at serving a mission in a year or two.
What is better than to have a baptism on your birthday? Sister Saez couldn't have imagined a better birthday and the members of the Cabatuan branch surprised her with all kinds of yummy treats following the baptism.
See what I mean about smiling on Saturdays?
The sweet sisters in Alicia asked us to pick up a birthday surprise and deliver it to Sister Saez. We could barely fit them in our car!
In Burgos--
The four sister missionaries in Burgos Zone showed their support to the elders serving in Burgos by singing at their baptismal service.
Elder Cass arrived two days prior to this baptism. Wow, to have a baptism your first week in the field--how great is that? He spoke and blew us away. He did much of it in tagalog. He was totally impressive!
Elder Wellman and Elder Cass at the baptism of this amazing young father.
His wife grew up in the church and now the couple has their sights set on being sealed in the temple!
In San Mateo--
Sister Ramos and Sister Cajigal are our dynamic duo---they are two very powerful missionaries and have loved teaching this young man.
The sister missionaries joined with some of the young women in the branch to sing at the baptism.
