Called to Serve: From Kiribati to Legazpi

 Kumusta,       This week we have been traveling to one of our fellow missionaries.  We had exchanges in virtual call and it was so cool to see the other areas in my district still progressing.  They had 2 baptisms last week and this week as well.  We are still praying that Sister Zairah will be able to answer our calls this week so we could be able to still review her lessons.  For this new September we will baptize her.  The work here is really slow.         It was really cool seeing the devotional last week with my fellow missionaries, especially Elder and Sister Wakolo from the Area Presidency.  I learn I have a lot to learn from them.  One thing that I learn is that we will become master teachers if we focus our study in the Preach My Gospel and the Book of Mormon, memorize scriptures from the Book of Mormon and from the Bible that relate to our lessons we have been teaching from the gospel of Jesus Christ.        We were so grateful for the time and the day that God has given us

 Kumusta,       So the last two weeks we have been in quarantine and the work seemed slow.  We have been trying to find people working with members and gratefully they have given us referrals each week.  That is so cool to us because it helps the work move forward.  My companion and I have been trying to pray most of the time everyday.  We have been making the names of those who needs extra prayers in a small container.  If you need extra prayers, we as God's servants are so happy to pray for you by name.  We are happy to pray for all of my brothers and sisters around the world.        I just really wanted to share what I learned from my reading last Sunday in Helaman Chapter 1 which in an account of the Nephites when they started to become wicked and war with the Lamanites.  We see here how the Lamanites converted from their wickedness and that the Nephites started to become wicked.  The lesson I wanted to point out is that in our life we are like the Nephites with all of our poss

     This week was fast and amazing!  So last Saturday, we are able to go outside and visited some of the members.  We are so happy that we are able to meet with Zairah Odonio magulang nya to explain and discuss their daughter's desire to be baptized.  We explained how important it is to her and her family, etc.  They are so happy to hear from us and how we described her commitment and attitude.  We will still contact her mum anytime.              We still wanted to know more members and are waiting for people to respond.  Hopefully we will be able to contact each of them.  Our concern in this area is that we are unable to reach some of the people.  We were so happy that we found some of them last Saturday during our visits because some area signals are weak.  Besides that, we were able to meet the parents of Sister Sarah and were able to talk to them outside their house.  They were so happy for our visit and that we can teach their daughter when we call he mum's phone number. 

 Well!  The work here in Libon Branch is still moving forward.  Each day was like WOW!  I am grateful for my new companion, Elder Villar.  We are doing good in the work.  Each and every day we are always excited and when the night comes our heads hit the pillow dreaming of our friends here in Libon with the members.  We can call it a sweet dream.        Regarding the work here in Libon Branch nagpapasalamat dahil.  We were able to go outside yesterday visiting members of the Libon Branch.  With the technology, we get to introduce some of our friends to members who are always with us in the work. Some of them have the opportunity to teach each other for a long time.  Ako din po at ang aking kasarmanay so brang masaya dahil maging kaibigan sila sa work naito habang tinuturuan namin sila po.        Yesterday we were so happy to meet with the leaders and have a small meeting in discussing about the peoples progress and how we need more help from them.  Whereby sinasabi nila talagang masaya
