This week was super and full of miracles (himala). We went to
Allacapan for our quarterly interviews with President Barrientos. It
was good to hear that some good friends in San Nicolas have received
their own mission calls and that some other mission calls are on their
way (President gave me the down low on some calls that have not yet been
received...lucky me!). Congrats to Kenny for her call to Cavite; she
is going to change lives. At interviews, we also recieved training from
President and his assistants. President kept calling on Sister
Purificacion and I for information on how we reach our goals and how we
have so much success in our area. Although it is nice to see that hard
work pays off and that President views our area as a model for the
mission, I am grateful for the Lord and his blessings. He is the real
reason that we are having success and finding those that He has
prepared.
After our interviews and training on actual missionary
work, Sister Barrientos gave us some real-life training on how to wash
laundry, mend, and iron. It was actually really all very funny and
definitely aimed at the elders. It was my moment to shine when I was
called on to show how to properly mend pants. Don't worry, my mother
taught me well and I gained some brownie points from Sister Barrientos.
As Sister Purificacion and I tried to apply our
trainings to our area, we once again saw the hand of the Lord in our
work. We spent a whole day walking around Sanchez Mira and talking to
everyone about the gospel. Obviously, most of them were too busy to
listen or just uninterested, but in the coming days, the Lord placed
those He had already prepared in our path. One example is Walter, who
wants to change and give up His addictions for Jesus Christ. He just
has not know how until now. We commited seven people to baptism this
week in only two days. I am thankful that the Lord blesses us when we
are dilligent.
I am grateful to be a member of Ang Simbahan ni
Jesucristo ng mga Banal sa mga Huling Araw (The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints). People know what I believe; they know what the
members of the true church believe. You will rarely hear someone call
out members of other faiths for acts of disobedience, but people will
always say, "That person is Mormon, but I thought they didn't do that in
their church." I live what I believe and I try my best to abide by all
of God's commandments. I am a witness of God at all times, in all
things, and all places. I hope that we all try to become more like
Christ each day and become a little more perfect each day.
