Week 79: Tatay Randy Gets Married and Welcome to Elder Francisco

     Hello everyone.  I am sorry that I didn't have time to write to you last week.  Well, let's go - I have a new companionship and this is his first area.  His name is Elder Francisco.  It's kind of a challenge to me as well but we are getting along with this small missionary from Nuevas Kaya.  The work here is progressing and we have seen some tender mercies this week.  So yesterday, Tatay Randy got married as well as John Rivera.  Besides that we have found some inactive members this week which is way cool.  I have been doing such great highlights in some other ways with my companion and trying to explore the area with him.  We also have had extra time to study and pray often. 

      So if you know something about the foreigners who are stuck in the Philippines, they are going to leave next week.  I am the only one left in Legazpi Mission.  I felt lonely but I have trust and faith in Him.  He knows everything for me and he's in control of everything.  Anyways, I am excited for many days to come and I will keep doing my part so I can be able to fulfill His will to His children here in Legazpi.  I have a short email right now but just wanted to tell you all I love you.

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
