Last p day we played basketball at the church. It is a lot more fun here because I don't have people towering over me. We only had two lessons but they were really good. The second one was with some people that do funerals. The house was really nice for here.
Tuesday we had district meeting. It rained so hard that half of our yard turned into a pond. the other elders' flip flops were out floating around in the water. We also did companion exchanges today and I went to the other Quezon area. We taught some lessons to people that have houses really close to the ocean.
Wednesday we just taught lessons. We went to an area with a big field with coconut trees and karabaw roaming around. It is one of my favorite places in my area.
Thursday we had interviews with president Ostler. We got up and left early to get to Narra in time. Whenever we need to go to Narra we call a shuttle service and they come and pick us up. There are always shuttles going up and down Palawan.
Friday we had a really good lesson with a new investigator. I was able to understand the general idea of everything and was able to answer her questions. It was a really good lesson and she seems really interested in the church. It was raining that day and the zone leaders told us to go home early because of the water in the streets. I think it must have been a lot worse where the zone leaders live because we have had worse days than that and still stayed out.
Saturday we had three baptisms. Two of our own and one of the other Quezon elders. The baptismal service was packed and there were a lot of people. The two investigators that got baptized that were mine and my companion's are in their 50s. They have a pretty big family and I think all of their kids are members so now that they are baptized their family all belongs to the church. One of their daughters received her mission call a few weeks ago and I think that helped with converting the parents. President Ostler came to the baptism because he was recently on Palawan for interviews.
The baptism we had this last saturday. The man on the right did the baptizing. This family is now complete. (some of the little kids actually aren't part of the family they just wanted to be in the picture)
