Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men; For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say. --D & C 100:5-6

WHAT A WEEK!! WEEK 101

So this week was another great week to pile on to the last 2 years worth of weeks!! 

Well I don’t have like any SUPER cool story to tell you why it was a great week it’s just always a GREAT week when you get to serve the Lord! Although we didn’t get some awesome miracles to happen we got at least our part member family to come to church and hopefully working towards their baptism (which will probably be after I leave.. sad) they are working on a word of wisdom problem right now, so when that problem is gone they will be READY! They were our only investigators to come to church even tho one family and our baptist investigator promised to come... they didn’t show up so kind of sad but okay! There’s always next week right? We’re kinda worried about our baptist investigator cause ever since we invited him to be baptized he hasn’t come to church.. so we’re trying to find his concern, hopefully we find it and help him out! Well, the awesome blessings this week that happened is we found 3 new investigators, and two of them were really interested and are gonna try to come to church sometime they said.. so HOPEFULLY! they will come! 

I also had my LAST exchanges this week and it was with Elder ROBINSON! The GUS BUS! hahaha he’s the man! l love that guy!  

But to end the week.. or start this week we kinda had a lil bummer happen.. I went to grab some personal money earlier and didn't find my wallet. Turns out someone broke in and took all the money that was in the apartment.  A lot of mission money and then my personal money, so that was a bummer but who knows maybe they will be nice and bring it back later! HAHAHA! 

Well that was our week sorry no awesome stories or anything.. I dunked on some palm tree basketball hoop this week which was legit hahaha but that’s about it.. I LOVE YOU ALL! THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!! See you all soon…

LOVE ELDER PANADERO
HAKUNA MATATA!!

WEEK 17


WELLL WELLL WELLL I've got some news for you guys!!! I'll start with a Tagalog scripture that I memorized this last week...

bilang nattasan ni jesucristo bibinyagan kita sa pangalan ng ama at ng anak at ng espiritu santo, amen. WELLLL, since none of you know Tagalog lol it is the baptismal prayer.... why would I, ELDER BAKER need to memorize the baptismal prayer?  hmmmm wait maybe I got my first baptism.... BUT MAYBE THERE'S MORE!!!  NOT ONLY DID I DO MY FIRST BAPTISM... BUT I DID IT IN THE OCEAN!!!  WHAT!!!?!??? That has literally been a life time goal of mine!!  Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of the day I would baptize in the ocean!!  Little did I know it would be in the Philippines 3 months into my mission!!



WELL, remember when I ate that chicken intestines!!!! well I continued my journey to the rest of the chicken!!  Next I ate the chicken DUGO... BLOOD!!!  hahahaa it's masarap!!  or delicious!!  Then my next part of the chicken, of course, would have to be the FEET!!  Ya that one actually wasn't good!! lol 

"Fried chicken BLOOD on a stick"


"the chicket FEET" ewwww

Well, we had 2 family home evenings this week and those are soooo fun.  I love those!!!  I'll send pics next week.  Sorry for the short letter internet is bad today... I LOVE YOU ALL AND REMEMBER, PRAY ALWAYS AND HAKUNA MATATA!!
   







LOVE ELDER BAKER
HAKUNA MATATA!!

In case you were wondering:  One week Elder Baker wrote to me from the MTC........he told me that he had a lot on his mind and he was wondering how he would be able to do it all.  The teaching, the language, the culture/food in the Philippines, the homesickness feelings, etc......... He had been praying for help with all of this and he said that he knew Heavenly Father would help him and he did feel better, also he had a song come to his mind....he's a lover of disney songs!!!  He thought of the song "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King.  He decided then and there to "WORK HARD AND DO ALL HE CAN and leave it up to the Lord to do the rest".  Hakuna Matata, it means no worries for the rest of your days................Dillon's Mission Motto.

Hakuna matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata
Ain't no passin' craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
And it's a problem-free philosophy
HAKUNA MATATA!
