Kamusta?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good
day!! Brother R's finally getting baptized! Yay! His interview with our
Mission President wemt well! We still need to check up on him first and
really prepare him to do that covenant with the Lord. Nevertheless,
Elder Somoray and I were talking about the converting power of the
Gospel. Knowing Brother R's life before, lead us to a discussion on how
the Gospel can really change people's hearts once they learn the
happiness it could bring them. It was thrilling, stressful, and hard!
Hahaha! But, all was worth it... ^^
Anyways, work was great again this week. We tried
finding in an area where I guess Missionaries have never been there
before for so long. Elder Somoray and I will be fasting to establish the
church there if circumstances are right, so future missionaries could
work there. We're having a lot of progressing investigators and we're
focusing on each one to really help them to get to the waters of
baptism. We have 17 now progressing and counting. But, some are having a
hard time to do this and that, now we know what it feels when
investigators don't do this and that. Haha... It makes us unhappy for
them because they're losing a lifetime of blessings. It's such a great
moment in the Mission to work with a lot of people. We know that Satan
will do everything to stop those people to progress but we have faith
that the Spirit will touch their lives and testify of them of the
truthfulness of the Gospel.
The C Family is one of the people we're focusing.
Brother is so much interested although Sister still has doubts. We're
praying and fasting for them to take those steps necessary for baptism.
What happened last time was, we were able to teach the whole family for
the first time! It was such a great opportunity and Elder Somoray and I
talked about it and are carefully planning for them. We're hoping to see
more progress from them.
Another family we're focusing is the B family.
Sister is Less-active and the rest are nonmembers. A member is
encouraging her and she will be coming to church this Sunday! Yay! We
have hopes that they'll come as a family since we are already teaching
three of her children and each has a baptismal date already. We're
looking forward again for Sunday.
As for the Less-actives, all is going well. We had
some less-actives come to church for the first time. It was wonderful.
Fasting really works as always. Haha. I guess Elder Somoray and I really
have faith when it comes to the power of fasting. We know that we are
really entitled to the Lord's help for we are on His errand.
It's so heartwarming to feel the help of the ward.
Bishop is helping us big time. I know that as we serve faithfully in
each unit, despite the challenges we could face there, there is greater
good along the way. It's one of the testimonies I've gained ever since.
Sometimes, others may say it's hard in a unit because there's no
support, etc. But, the Lord really has a purpose for missionaries to be
in a unit because they are there to serve, to help, and uplift the
members and bring much good in the area. It's so fun to do the Lord's
work. I am really happy :)
Just want to share a cool experience where it
brought laughter to Elder Somoray and me... We were in a teaching
appointment when one of the youth confessed to us the reason why the
young men are not working with me and Elder Somoray. The reason, "we're
working so hard". LOL! It gave us a good laugh. But I guess, they'll
understand the work better when it's their time to serve. Still, we're
happy with a lot of members helping us.
So, that's our week. I love sugar canes!
Hahaha! I had fun nibbling all of 'em. We brought some home but, mostly,
it was me who consumed it all. Haha! Have a great week guys!
Sincerely,
