This baptism was great! It was really exciting for Ferly and
a good learning experience for us. We found out that we need about 2 hours to
fill the baptismal font. We started about 45 minutes late because the font
wasn't ready. Ferly's dad got to do the baptism. It was a good experience for
him to use his priesthood.
This week we found out why some of our investigators didn't
come to church. Some were sick and others didn't have money or were doing
things to get money. We were hoping that they would come to church this week
but few come.
Sister Nigad and her children did come to church this week.
They really want to be baptized. They were sad when we moved their baptismal
date and they promised that they would never miss church again. They are to be
baptized on March 2 & 9. We were hoping for Edmon and Felix to come to
church but they didn't come. We know that Felix is now working building houses
and Edmon is working as well so they can have money to come to church. They
might have been working so they did come. They like the gospel though. Edmon
wants his grandson to be baptized into the church when he turns 8. We will push
for them to go to the special sacrament next Sunday in Punta Salong. Elmer is
progressing still. We need to reteach somethings again but he likes the gospel.
We went to his house to go to church but he was at the ocean so he didn't
attend.
This week we were going to teach someone we found but he
wasn't there. We felt like we needed to go to a member's house so we went. We
didn't know why we just felt like we should be there. We were there for a while
but through going there we picked up 3 new investigators. Later, we got one
more when we went to visit one of the new investigators. We are have high hopes
for them.
So this week was transfers. Elder Bermudez and I stayed in
Manapla but Elder Bermudez became district leader. It was funny because he was
district leader 6 months before I came and he got a break for one transfer and
now he is district leader again.
Overall it was a good week. We worked hard and will continue
to work even harder.
I love you all,
Elder Nielsen
