Sister Alexa Pace Philippines Naga Mission: February 25, 2013

Pamilya ko,

This week was great. It has rained everyday and has definitely provided for fun. (as you can see the picture of my shoes ;P)The weather is really wet and should be until next month. We had a lot of appointments and preparing for a baptism. Marnil was baptized yesterday morning and it was awesome to see how dedicated he already was. He received the Holy Ghost and the Aaronic priesthood that morning also. The branch is also encouraging him to prepare for a mission...but his mother is terrified about it.(picture of Marnil with Sister Carrasca and I) We have two investigators that we met with this week...both have breast cancer, in different extents and stages...but it is amazing to see how the Lord prepares people and shares a spirit within them. We received exciting news...we have the name of our new mission president (I will send the email from our mission president)! But there is also more exciting news....there is a new mission...the Legaspi Mission. Here's the catch...Sorsogon is in the Legaspi mission. There is a possibility that I will be a different mission come June. The transfers in June will determine which mission I will be in. Lots of work to be done and plenty of things to be done :)

The June 6 transfer will establish the mission you will serve in after July 1. Those assigned in the Legaspi Stake, and Bulan, Sorsogon, Masbate, Catanduanes, Tabaco and Ligao districts will be in the Legaspi stake and serve under President Guanzon. All the rest will remain in the Naga Mission. The Ligao zone will be split in June, creating the Iriga zone.
