4 September 1999

Today started off so nice.  I baptized Arlene Mongosierra, two of her children, and two of her nieces.  It was a cool experience.  My first time baptising children.  And I like Arlene very much.  She and her sister Josephine can strengthen each other as new members.

In the afternoon, we taught Patricio Deizmo the fifth discussion, visited Nolasco and Lilia, then visited some members way out in Jamorawan.  We ended our evening at the Sedayas.  I was happy.  We were having a nice visit.  But then the conversation took an innocent, yet unfortunate turn.  We started talking about babies.  Elder Pfister mentioned his niece, which made me mention my nephews.  And that got me thinking about my nephews too much.  I realized that Jonah turns three in exactly one week, and Sammy turns one in exactly one month.  I was really quiet and introverted for the rest of the evening.  I got very depressed.  I miss them so much.  I've been thinking about home all night.  I'm missing a lot of major changes.  I'm almost afraid to go home.  If so many things have happened before my hump day, what will it be like in October 2000?
