Week 50: Welcome Elder Villar!

 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 at we get come of their phone contacts and still seemed open to us nong.  We still need to familiarize ourselves with the peoples names and addresses.  

     Besides that I just wanted to share a bright sunshine that we made us so happy.  Two of our investigators attended church yesterday.  We are looking forward for them to include their families which in one of our goals.  We are so happy that some of the haven't ever responded yet.  Some of them responded and some areas ng network ba minsane it unable to be reached or mahina sa kanyang signal dahil.  It's raining this week.  We are still looking forward to finding more new friends here.  

     I just wanted to share some of what I really liked from the last devotional by Sister Bonnie H. Cardon.  "what are the special talents and skills which the Lord has blessed you with." It always rings in my ear questioning me Am I using well these talents?  I am really impressed of Ammon's story while he was appointed to take care of King Lamoni's sheep and that he gathered them all to the living water that they may not get lost unless the King will get angry with them.  We have hope in this area and how it really makes us look forward to each day.  Thank you for the support and love and we will see what is right on the path.

Week 96: Visit to the Island of Cadantuanes & Loving the Ocean Breeze

Image
      Here are some of my adventures on the Island of Cadantuanes which was a 4 hour ride on a ship.  The purpose of our visit there was to try to check on some apartments on this island that had been left by the missionaries during lockdown.  They had 6 apartments left behind and the good thing is that some of the missionaries from the mainland still had baptisms here while teaching virtually.        We were grateful to see all the members as we arrived there.  We had a one night devotional with them as well as President Abraham and Sister Abraham.  We were so grateful to have the opportunity to listen from the recent converts on how they got to know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church on this earth and that Joseph Smith is the prophet of the restoration.  We were so grateful to listen to their testimonies as well as the leaders and YSA that have a desire to serve a mission.  One thing that I really liked is the invitation that President and Sister

Week 117: Mission Life in Croatia

      I am freezing here even though I have cold weather clothing.  It just gets colder and colder.  I will probably be here until November 30th.  I was able to talk with Elder Gutierrez and he looks great.  We were so happy to catch up and he was able to talk with my companion which is the man who performed by baptism while Elder Gutierrez was in Kiribati.  His name is Elder Lebinoka.  He was one of the YSA in Abaokoro during the time Elder Gutierrez worked in Abaokoro.        The good thing is I keep using these shoes here in Croatia.  They are the black ones that you bought.  It is my only shoes that I have been using in traveling.  Thank you again for the shoes. Elder Bateiti and Elder Lebinoka - YSA that baptized Elder Bateiti in Abaokoro, Kiribati now both missionaries serving in Croatia awaiting a flight to Kiribati.

Week 54: Fed By the Spirit

 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
