Adam Kimball Roberts Mission to Philippines Quezon City Mission

Baptism So yeah last Saturday we baptized one of our investigators Brother D. He is a freaking beast! He is my first hard woork conversion. I  mean all converts are hard to convert.  But let's talk about this particular convert. Ok first WORD OF WISDOM : so yeah Brother D. smoked about two packs a day when we first met him along with the fact that all the time when we would come to visit him he would be hardcore drunk also drank coffee but everyone here drinks coffee. Needless to say this required lots of life changes. ATTITUDE: Yeah so when we first started teaching I remember kinda thinking like "Ummm is this worth it?" because he was straight up one of the most sarcastic people I've ever met.  OTHER PROBLEMS: So yeah, along with that he would straight up spend all day on the computer and he didn't have a job like super unmotivated. He had some Law Of Chastit y stuff nothing huge but I mean it was law of chastity so still a big deal. But slowly b...

So this last Tuesday we got to go the temple! Which was awesome! It was my first time going to the temple here in the Philippines which was amazing and wonderful. It was like getting plugged in and being revitalized it was awesome!  I'll send the pictures next pday because this place doesn't have anywhere to plug in my memory card.

But what made it even better was our recent converts kids are "dating daan" which in Tagalog means the old way.  Anyways they do not like Mormons and while we were still teaching Nanay Emma, our Recent convert, they would wait till we left and be like "Noooo Mormons suck! Dont become Mormon!" and like when we would come over they would take over the house of our RC (again at this point she was an investigator) and play Dating daan propaganda on her TV  This actually worked awesome for us because what happened was we just taught her in the houses of her neighbors and taught her neighbors too! (one of them will be baptized this may!) So actually at the time that was awesome that they hated us  But anywho when they saw...
