*Before life got really crazy, they had Zone Conference last week. The highlight was Mexican Food!!! A rare treat in the Philippines and Syd's favorite!
* As you will read in her email, they were able to baptize her three friends from the factory on Sunday.
Yesterday (her Monday), she was able to FaceTime us from an internet cafe (they tried 2 others first that were closed). Everywhere they went, police were holding borders closed to other parts of the city and they would check their temperatures at every store entrance. I woke up to word this morning that she is now on complete lockdown. We have zero communication and have no way of knowing when we will hear from her again. Her mission president will be checking on them daily (she does have a flip phone for Filipino calls), they did get 2 weeks worth of groceries, and she has 2 other sisters right across the hall from her and her companion. Please keep them in your prayers. Boredom will be their biggest enemy (no tv or computers). Airports are closed too, so she's a full fledged Filipino now. HaHa
HELLOOOOOOO!!!! I'm physically healthy and still working hard. We had a devastating text come through that said all church meetings were canceled, including baptisms, and our hearts just SANK. Man, that was hard news to hear. BUT a couple hours later there was another text saying that only baptisms were allowed. PHEWW!!!!
Lino, Edu, and Bores were baptized and confirmed! It was amazing. My companion and I had one of the most stressful/hardest weeks of our lives, but we were able to enjoy their baptism and take a nice, reassuring, deep breath! Heavenly Father's work will continue, no matter what happens in the world:)
Word of the Week: "daw" This word is GENIUS!! It means he, she, or they said. So if you don't feel confident about your own opinions, just add "daw" to the end!! Example: "the world is gonna end daw."
Love you all! Stay safe, healthy, and happy!!
