We just got back from a trip to Mauban. We have been going there about every two weeks to work with Elders Gwynn and Yumol. One of the families we have been working with are members but have been very inactive for several years. We first met them a few months ago and discovered their youngest daughter would have her 8th birthday in late May. We suggested the father become active again and baptise his daughter. As it turned he isn't ready yet, but we kept our word to his daughter that we would attend her baptism. The elders took us on trek through the jungle/forest to some water falls where we baptised his daughter and confirmed her. I am not certain how far we had to walk into the water falls, but my guess is little more than 2 miles each way. I hurt my knee last week and it was an ordeal to get there and back. In addition to the four missionaries we had three investigators in attendance.
The first picture is you mom (Diane) on the trail.
The second picture is Diane with Babelle Moncada just before she was baptised.
The third picture is Babelle in the water with Elder Gwynn (Elder Gwynn is quite tall, so he is kneeling in the water) I know Babelle looks like she is 5 not 8, but most Filipino children seem much younger than their American counter parts.
The fourth picture is of the water falls
The fifth picture is looking down stream from the water fall
The last picture is of us standing near the falls
