hey everyone!! There was a bagiuo or big storm this week, loooots of rain and since we're by the beach, it all seems more crazy of a storm because the waves get reeeeally huge, you can hear them from our house! The wind was also really crazy and we saw some devastation from the storm. one of our areas, nauhang, had a lot of palm trees fall on houses and their school collapsed in the storm. Luckily, nobody was hurt and the kids have break from school right now so there will be time to build their school again.
Brother Mark is doing great, he's gone through a lot of hard stuff this week so we really thought he might not come to church, and then he was one of the first ones there on Sunday. He's so awesome! We still need to finalize things with his wife who is currently out of town, but as soon as she comes home we're giving Mark a date!
More good news from Magsungay! More members of their family have entered into the waters of baptism, including the little girl that Sister Bernolo and I first found that led us to that beautiful family, Yara. We were looking for investigators one day in March this year and found this girl sitting all by herself during school time so we went up and talked to her. She said we could come to her house to teach her family but when we came back the second time, her family wasn't home but their next door neighbors, the Semillano family, was. And the rest is history! But we all owe thanks to that first interaction with Yara and we're so happy she's finally decided to be baptized with her cousin, Mia. :)
Anyways, that's all for this week. I'm so thankful for all the beautiful people I've met here in the Philippines! They'll be in my heart forever. :)
