Part # 2 Floods, Halloween and on and on.......

So back in October the day we returned from Santa Ana was "All Saints Day". We were fortunate to have Steve who said he would take us to the graveyard.

                                   Taking the flowers to the graves.

It really is a celebration!

This Sister has brought things that her loved ones liked. There's the coke, food, flowers and of course, everyone brings candles to burn.

This family has brought supper because this can be a very late night of celebration.

As the night draws on there gets to be many more people here....

We took a morning and went with the Senior Sister to the "Carabao Races".

Sister "D" just loves the carabao.

Yesterday we had a baptism. 

When the elders got to the chapel they found that the font had been filled with water all week. (No one drained it) The water in the font was dirty and had over 100 little tiny wiggly worms. The elders quickly got permission to do the baptism in the ocean. 

The waves are really causing problems.

After the mother and son struggled through the waves the little girl was quite scared. Elder Wilson was so good with her. He spent time talking to her and then he prayed with her. The Spirit was so strong.

Here Elder Wilson does the prayer and then he picks her up and carries her out into the ocean where they both go down and under the water.

What a beautiful day in the Philippians!

We then went back and really cleaned the font for the next baptism later that day.
