Called to Serve: From Kiribati to Legazpi

Kumusta po sa bawat lahat!  Hello everyone!  Kam nabane ni mauri buong week samin so brang masayer kase.       We have meet new peoples.  We talk with them on the jeepney, on the road, inside the store, in the bush, and last in the river.  So from Tuesday to Friday we been tracting in our areas.  We find new peoples.  We explain ourselves that we are the representatives of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Some of them don't really know us and others just know the missionaries of the CLDS.  We visited with some new investigators beside those that we had before.  We started BRT with them building relationship and trust.  We hand them the pamplet of the Family Can Be Together Forever.  We ask them if we could visit them.  They say they only have Sunday free day because they work in the store. The peoples life here is kinda hard because if they don't work, they will have no electric, have no water,...

Kumusta,      So this week we had many services in our district.  We have 10 Elders in our district so if there is any help needed from each one of your areas, we call for help.  The people who are swimming are so amazed seeing us cleaning all the plastic and the rubbish on the beach.  Sometimes it really amazed the peoples if you offer a good service.  It will make them feel shock that they need to help too.  If we focus ourselves on helping others, God will give us the opportunity to fulfill His will according to his own timing.      I am really happy last Tuesday that we have the opportunity to help one couple whose home been wash out from the typhoon.  We started digging the foundation and mix gravel with building the foundation on the house.      I wanted to share a wonderful verse found in D&C 85:7 "And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter...

Kumasta,      This week we spent time in walking and door knocks for someone who will love to talk with us.  So we walk from Santo Cruz to San Isidro.  We talk to many peoples on the road because our lessons fell through.  Until we stop by a member who are inactive for more than one year.  We shared about keeping the Sabbath Day holy and we share some in Exodus 20 and D&C 59:12, "But remember that on this, the Lord's day, thou shalt offer thine oblations and thy sacraments unto the Most High, confessing thy sins unto thy brethren, and before the Lord".  We testify and shared the promise blessing with Bitantesi.      We have been visiting this old man who is been sick for a couple months and have a rash on his whole body.  But this time, we find out that he don't have any rashes on his skin.  After the lesson, we ask him to close us with a prayer and he agreed to say a closing prayer.  As he was praying, we coul...
