More summer sun of course! I felt somewhat dumb this last
week when I asked the other sisters if they celebrate Groundhog's Day in New
Zealand and the Philippines. I realized that of course they don't because 1)
it's always summer here and 2) they're in the other hemisphere anyway. Haha
it's alright, at least there is always good weather to proselyte in. This last
week we continued to help our investigators prepare for their baptisms.
Basically how it works, is we extend a baptismal goal date (usually 2-3 months
in advance) and then continue to teach and help them prepare to be worthy to be
baptized on that date. Of course, if the person doesn't feel ready by their
date, it can be rescheduled. As missionaries it's wonderful to have front row
seats to a person's conversion and reception of the restored gospel. I know
that even though we all are at different spiritual levels, through diligence
seeking and prayer, everyone can gain the truth for themselves directly from
God. Whether it be here in the baking sauna of the Philippines or in misty
Seattle, we are all His children and He is just waiting for us to turn to Him.
