PAMBIHIRA ANG PPINES!! -WEEK 39

Short and Sweet and Awesome!!!  Sounds like he didn't have power for some of his P-day..... his email came through at 3:20 AM which was actually the end of Pday for him, so he was out of time and had to get back to work!  

Soo first off, sorry momma I'm on soo late, but there was a brown out for like 3 hours earlier!!  So we have just been waiting to email and now we only got a lil time!! 

But this week was wayy great!!  Not really any cool things happened but it was just a great week in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ!!  Something cool happened this week.  We had interviews with our Mission President who will be leaving soon and I asked him one phrase to describe his mission, and he answered right away with "Jesus Christ" like what woah  I was like k that was wayy sick cause if someone asked me that question I would say like sressfull/or hard or fun!!  But nope he said Jesus Christ!!  He then ended the interview with "we all have one master one leader, let's serve Him diligently"!! 

I LOVE THE PPINES SOOO MUCH.  IT'S CHANGING MY LIFE BEING OUT HERE ON A MISH AND ESPECIALLY IN THE PPINES!! 

LOVE ELDER BAKER

HAKUNA MATATA!!

ps from Shawna (Like he said in the email, he had interviews in the city.  Some of the YSA kids took some pics and I found them posted on facebook!  Lucky ME since he couldn't send any!)

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, 

and all these things shall be added unto you.

Keep the Elder "Baker's" Coming!

A handwriten letter dad received from Dillon:

August 17

Dear Dad,

So last night we performed with the Nashville Tribute Band and we were singing two songs.  The first was "John's Song" it talked about John the Baptist and baptising Jesus.  But the second song was the good one.  It's called "I Was Born" and it talks about people from all around the world going to serve missions and at one point the guy says "born the son of humble converts........and I'm here to pay it forward." And I felt the spirit so strong at that moment knowing that what I'm doing here is not only for me but it's for you!

I'm so happy that I was able to be your first son to serve a mission!  And I can't wait to keep the Elder "Baker's" coming!  I love you, I miss you!  But I know that I can do this hard thing in my life because I have you pushing me thru it!

KYC!

Love,

Elder Baker

ps   I know this is a little early I just didn't want to forget!!!  But make sure you give Court an extra BIG hug from me on her Birthday!  Thanks Love you!

Born the son of humble converts, and I'm here to pay it forward.

And we are here to serve our King! Children of the most high. 

And it's His good news that we bring As we labor gladly bringing souls to Christ.

We are born of goodly parents,  blessed souls of a rich inheritance.

We are children of the Father, an army of His sons and daughters.
