Well, we started our day out by leaving our house at 6:30 and taking a motorcycle (a common form of public transportation is motorcycles with extended seats) to Biliran, Biliran (the town of Biliran in the the province of Biliran) for a priesthood activity. We went to a little island between Biliran and Leyte to a little private beach resort. President Napoco (Naval branch president) presided over a fireside where three branch presidents from the Tacloban area spoke. It was in four languages: English, Cebuano, Tagalog, and Waray-Waray. After that, everyone hung out, then we ate lechon baboy (spit-roasted pig) and some fish.
Josephine's baptism was this afternoon at 4:00. It went smoothly. We held it at Bagongbong River. It was a very peaceful spot, and very beautiful. I performed the actual baptism. it was the first time I have ever done that. It was cool, and very spiritual. The whole service was spiritual, and I'm not the only one who felt it. We taught the third discussion to her sister right after, and when I asked her if she believed that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the only true church, she said, "Oo, dako akong pagtuo" (Yes, large is my belief) with a big smile on her face.
