Ha sorry dad for sending you mass amounts of emails, but I just had so many good photos to share this week! I am sure there will be lots more. My comp took super good photos of Christmas eve and Christmas, I can't wait to show you!
Today was a blast we went to a little island off of the main island, called Pulau Ubin, and rode bikes on trails they have all over the island. Wow, let me tell you though, major respect for bike riding missionaries, because I am real out of shape. It's the Filipino food, so good. Anyways we rode bikes for about 3 hours and walked along the wetlands, so so pretty. Dad we walked up this huge tower and it was ridiculously tall and unstable, you would have freaked. There was only supposed to be 20 people on it because it was super old and rickety but there was about 30 and it shook whenever the wind blew. Haha.
Yesterday was the best day of my mission though. It was my first baptism and it was so so special, i will never forget the day. Keith's testimony was amazing and really helped me to feel that I am really making a difference. It's so awesome to see how much the gospel really can change people's lives, not only that but the impact a testimony has. Keith was unsure about the gospel and baptism till his wife, whose a member, bore her testimony to him and that was when he was ready to really have a change of heart.
I seriously urge all of you to share what you know and feel about the gospel. It will touch peoples hearts, as cheesy as it sounds. If I can do it, an awkward american girl, you can too! Besides it's so much fun!
Sorry I don't have too much to say. It was such a good week though!

P.S.
Mom I am in love with the necklace you sent, thanks so much. Christmas was great!
