Hello Family & Friends!!!!!

So this week has been an AMAZING WEEK!!!  Mostly because we had 2 BAPTISMS!!!  Carl Jay and Terence were baptized on Saturday and it seriously was such a special day!  We have worked super hard to get these two ready so it was so fun to see them actually get baptized, and then confirmed on Sunday! So that is the biggest Highlight of the week!! 
Oh and yes I am still here in Vargas if you didn't notice already;)  So thats awesome, the members here in Vargas are starting to notice our work, and the baptisms, because it has been almost a year since the last one here.  So thats super awesome!  Now we are working towards April 1st which is the baptism of Joanne and Jennifer!!  Also the other Elders in our ward, have 3 baptisms on April 1st too, so that will be a totally white out:)  Now we just have to help them to get ready...:) 
This week was also very good in finding new investigators!  We found 6 New Investigators!!  And also a lot more potential with those 6, because 2 of those from the big Ulzame family, and they have cousins and a lot of people in their house who are super nice!! So when we finally find the right time, hopefully we can teach that whole family! Also one of the sisters in the fam, said that she used to go to church but she was never baptized, so hopefully that becomes a thing!!
Also 3 of the other investigators are from one family, the Talenio family!!  And the nanay(or mom) came late so she wasn't counted as a new investigator, but we talked to her and she said that before their whole family went to church 4 times, and she even had her interview, but it didn't happen for some reason.  Now they are going to a Baptist church close to their house, who is also paying them to go to church there.  But I believe that we can help them realize again where the truth is, and how many more blessings can come from the gospel other than money... So hopefully it works out:)  Big hopes for this next week;)
Anyways so I found my favorite Tagalog word... Even though I can't pronounce it:) it is nakakapagpabagabag...  hahaha try saying that 10 times fast:) or even once... if you can say it once correctly i would be amazed:) Because i can't at all, and more than half of the Filipinos can't say it right either;)
But anyways its been a good week!!
Thanks for all the letters and prayers!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Keep smiling:) ALWAYS!!!
