So this last couple of days have been a little rough because my companion and I both came down with a cold! I think its going around because we know a lot of people that have had a cold this last week! So that is why I am emailing so late because We took a nap before we left the house because we are both really sick! haha but don't worry the work still goes on! :) Kasi Masipag kami (because we are hard workers) hahaha!!! 

Well this week has been full of really funny experiences!! I'll start of with the first one.... So we were teaching our Investigators and we had a member with us that is really good in English! Well when my companion was talking she said... "Kung susundin ang mga kawtututan ng Diyos..." Translation... (If you follow the Farts of God...) hahaha she was trying to say to follow the commandments of God, but it came out wrong and our investigators were laughing so hard! But we didn't know why they were laughing because we didn't know what it ment.. then the member told us and we really could not stop laughing! It was seriously so funny!!!! re was a girl and a boy both being baptized! and the girl was about 15 and the boy was 9! Well one of the members that is kind of older baptized him! But I think it was his first time baptizing them! 

The next experience was at the Elders baptism and we had brought an investigator with us! Thebecause when he did it... He literally just through them in the water!!! He must have been so excited to baptize them! Everyone was trying to be reverent but everyone was really trying to hold back the laughter! but don't worry the spirit was there really strong! The Testimonies of the candidates were so powerful!!!! :) It was a great experience!

After the Baptism we had the opportunity to help with Mutual and be part of workshops to help them learn and grow!! :) That was a really spiritual experience! It was about how we can help them to make sacrament more reverent or special!  and the next day the sacrament was seriously so reverent and there was a new atmosphere! I loved how fast they learn and really apply what they learn!!! The Branch is growing so much!!! It's amazing!!!

Well Yesterday we went on Splits and I went with a few of the members to follow up on a referral and It was a couple with one 4 year old baby! the live really close to the chapel and they seem really interested learn more about our message! We are going back tomorrow at 4:00!!! I am so excited!! They are seriously so cute! They own a little store! The girls name is Melany and she is 34 and the guys name is Kert and he is 31! So everyone please pray for them!!!!

Tatay Manuel Domingo is doing so good!! I am so excited for him! He has completely given up coffee and he is now slowly giving up the smoking! Everyone keep praying for hiM! This is really hard for him! 

We then have Brother Jerome and and He will be baptized in February 21. He worked with us on sunday and with some of the members! he is fitting right in with the branch!!! He is like best friends with them! it feels like he is already a member! His best friend Jswhy will be baptized with on Feb. 21 also! Jswhy's whole family are members and so its been awesome to see him follow the example of his brothers and sisters and parents!!

Then Angielyn and EddieJoy and Marinella... We have to reextend their baptism maybe! But we will see! They are so awesome and they always read the Sciptures all the time! they are so smart and they are going to Bongabon this saturday with the Young women for New Beginnings and so that will be great for them to really make friends in the Branch!!!! 

Mryna Santos text us this morning and said she doesn't want to continue with the lessons! So that was really sad to receive this morning! but maybe now is just not the right time for her!!

Then we have Marty Mateo!!! He is so awesome!!!! He is really progressing! he is 10 years old and his mom and sisters are members! His dad is not because he has work. but the mom is abroad! So just him and his sisters go to church! but every week he always ask us how many more times he has to go to church before he can be baptized! He is seriously so excited!!!! 

We then have Brother Jeffery Corpuz! he is 29 and he lives next door to the Mateo familY! we have been teaching him and he seems to be really progressing!! So everyone pray for him! He will hopefully be baptized on February 14! Valentines day!!! :)

Yes so that is about our investigators right now!!! I really love this area and the work is really progressing here!!! I am so excited for the goal of 1800 baptisms this year in our mission!!!!! I know I have a long time but I would love to extend my mission one more transfer so that I will be here for the ending result of the goal 1800!!! I really really really really want to!!!!! so we will see!!!! I don't know if I will be able to or not!!

Well I love you all so much!! I hope you have a great week!!!! take care always!!!!!!!

Mahal na Mahal ko kayo!!!!!!! Ingat po kayp palagi!!!

Sincerely,
Sister Freeman
