Week 61 "December 3, 2017"

Kailey did not send a group email this week, so I am going to post the email that she sent to me.

Hi mom!

I am staying as an STL and I will be "killing" my companion (meaning that she is going home this transfer) and then I will be doing pauwi things (going home things) after her!! WAHOO!! :'))) And then I'll probably be so sad to leave my mission. happy of COURSE but also sad hahahah. then I'll work for you and get married. ;) but you don't have to say that over the pulpit. ;)

hm, we are teaching a FAMILY!! THEY ARE SO CUTE AND SO READY TO BE BAPTIZED holy cow! The elders found them and now we are teaching them since the elders got transferred. they come to church every week and when we extended the baptismal date, the mom said "I'll ALL for it." (in tagalog lolo) and then the dad said "Hm.. I'm not sure yet because I don't feel like I know enough." we told him that it was alright to feel that way, but to continue to pray about it. 

so the next day was Sunday (and this was before the elders transferred) and they came to church and in the EQ meeting, some of the longtime investigators were telling their story (one isn't baptized yet but he said that he has been an investigator for over a year not) and then another member spoke up saying that it took a few weeks only. and then after church, the elders taught the dad and the dad said to them "I don't want to be an investigator for a year. I will be baptized AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!" SO THEYRE ALL GETTING BAPTIZED and as soon as we taught WOW, he quit everything! :'))))) They will be baptized on Dec 23, so it will be a WHITE CHIRSTMAS! :')))

mom I hope you know how much I love you. I really missed you yesterday, but its okay cause I'll skype and then come home in 2 months hahaha. Christmas is on pday, so ill probably  call you on Christmas eve sa inyo. :) I cant wait to speak tagalog with Ben and with Hailey. hahaha :) also tomorrow we are going to the temple and I'm so excited! I miss the Payson temple BUT GUESS WHAT hahaha we are sad in the zone cause a lot of us are going home within the months of Jan-May. and all of the missionaries going home then don't get a last temple trip because it will be closed!!!!
