We had a baptism!!! It was totally sweet! Alvin Ignacio, the one who got baptised, is 17, and he couldn't express his feeling. He said it was so peaceful, happy and a light(magaan) feeling. He also bore his testimony twice, once at the baptism after he got baptised and once in church the next day in class. Sunday was also awesome, Alvin got confirmed and recieved the Aaronic preisthood. The branch really fellowshipped him. He now has all the Duty to God stuff and is invited to mutual every saturday. But he turns 18 pretty soon, I dont think he will finish the Duty to God, but he is really doin great and loving everything. So that was one reason we were busy this week, preparing for the baptism and helping Alvin. Also the Mabini Elders had an interviewee for baptism, so I as the District Leader, had the privelege to interview thier investigator for baptism. It was great. He is only like 10 years old, in a part member family. And he had no problem with anything, He really wants to do whats right and follow Christ. So that was cool, my first baptism interview. But eventhough it was a (bisi)busy week, and it was raining almost every afternoon, we still got some work done. On Thursday we went on exchanges, I was with the zone leader in his area, Mabini. It was good. Their area is hard because there is no chapel nor missionary apartment, they have to go to and from Alaminos everyday and the members and investigators have to travel to Alaminos for church, but they are doin a great job. Some of the investigators and less-actives that we are workin with are still attending church. One of which is really progressing, his only problem is cigarrette smoking. Before he would smoke a whole pack everyday, but now he only smokes 6 sticks! It was awesome when he said that. We are really excited for him. Well this was the last week of the transfer. We found out earlier that me and my comp are not getting transfered, we are still here as well as the 4 other missionaries in our house. So im still the only foreigner in the house. :) But their will 5 transfering and 5 new missionaries in the zone. So we took a last zone picture of everyone. Thats prety much it for this week. The work is great. -Elder Pennock
