The Gumarus are baptized! Including Mikaela. Behold the effects of your prayers! I asked Brother Fernandez, a recent
convert, to baptize them. Their journey of faith has begun, but they can always
use your prayers.

Happy birthday Grumps! But there is no St. Patricks Day in the Philippines.
I hope you are all doing great. I am doing great out here. I love you all.
Mahal ko kayo,

Missionary Email Policy
Missionaries are to write
to their families each week and are also authorized to communicate by email with friends, priesthood leaders, and new converts.
Mission presidents should allow sufficient
time on preparation day for missionaries to write emails and letters. While in
the mission field, missionaries should
receive authorization from the mission president before entering into communication, including via email, with converts
and others of the opposite gender
within the mission boundaries (see Missionary Handbook, 36–37).
