Week 55: Goodbye, Libon Hello Tiwi!

 Magandang araw po so inyo/Good day to your all,

     I just want to say thank you to my Heavenly Father and my new area assignment.  I will be moving to the Tiwi area with Elder Baui.  He is awesome.  He will be training me as a zone leader.  Being in Libon has had many good impacts on me especially being in the apartment calling the peoples there each day.  I could see what the future hold in Libon area and I pray that the people who had accepted the gospel in their lives would continue on enjoying in living in the gospel and find joy in their journey being a disciple of Jesus Christ.

     I am looking forward here in Tiwi area.  I am praying that my companion and I will help move the work here as we continue to obey and keep the standards we have.  I just wanted to share one of my reading in Alma Chapter 11.  Eto po nung time Alma nakipagtalo si Zeezrom patungkol ng kalligtasan comes from Jesus Christ the Son of God who will come to save men from their sins.  But I really like to share with you this verse 44) "Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil".  

     I would like to share my experience when I was a young boy.  I didn't have time to see my grandparents from my dad.  They were already gone as well as on my mum's side.  I only saw my grandmother passed away as nung bata ba po ako.  I am so grateful for the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ that I and you and all the missionaries take part in this marvelous work.  I know that if I continue keeping all my covenants, I will see my grandparents in that great beautiful morning as they will be resurrected when Jesus Christ comes according to their work.  I really love how the gospel really blesses the families and each individual.  Kapag tayo sunsundin ang mga alintuntunin ng ebanghelyo naito.  One of the best ways I am looking forward is I would love to do some ordinances in the temple for baptism of the dead.  I know Heavenly Father lives and the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored by a prophet, Joseph Smith.  I know this church is God's kingdom on earth and I say these things in the name of our Lord, our Savior, Exemplar, and Redeemer even Jesus Christ, Amen.

Maraming salamat po mga Assistant for dropping me in my new area, Tiwi.

New apartment in Tiwi.  I like it because there's no neighborhood just like in my previous area.  It's a single apartment but that's not important.  All that matters is that I could have a shelter to sleep.

It has 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms.  

I am looking forward to the coming weeks.  We will have some new missionaries from Legazpi whose area has been changed to their home mission here in Albay Legazpi Mission.  We will have more warriors to help this work move forward.  I heard there will be 15 of them.

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.

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
