Finding People in Molino, Cavite

  This week is a cool week, Sorry I didn't email last week. We have been chastised by our mission president because we are low in new investigators, so we try to find people this week and guess what we already had 10 as of today and we will find more.

                  But of course it is not about the numbers we also had really cool and spiritual experiences like two of those we found are Retired Navy, it is really nice to talk to them and know their experiences and it is cool too that they know something about the Church and missionaries but we are the first one who taught them. One of their questions is why Joseph Smith had multiple wives and we responded and teach about families they understood about it and accept it as an answer to their question. It is really powerful to teach about families and how important it is to God and God ordained families. 

                 We had is experience to that we taught in a sewing shop that we try to go and ask how much is to fix a pant and we start to OYM them and ask if we can teach them and they said Yes we can, and the owner of the shop stop the workers that were sewing and said okay listened to the Missionaries, it is really cool it is like teaching in a multitude but they are 5 people out there with their sewing machines. 

                And the others are cousins of or nephew of the members that staying in a member's house it is nice because they have that instant support from their relatives. 

               Yesterday we also taught this RM and former Church Leader which is a less-active right now, He still have that testimony and will but he just really can't because he need to work for the sake of his kids, 4 of them are in college

              I am really grateful that I am the Lord's Instrument for them, I really love knowing them and help them more to come closer to our Father in Heaven.

            Office works is still Good and happy. I love my wo-office missionaries "The Petersens" that love us and we love them

I think this for the week and I love you all. Email me sometime, Take Care Always

Hotdog Party and a Crazy Transfer Week

   This week we have a "Hotdog Party at the Tye's House a.k.a Mission Home in celebration of our Zone's success. We had Hotdog covered with ham (yum!), Jello, Fruit Salad and Chips!!!  We also have CLS test passers in our Zone so we really need to celebrate, We are proud of them. After the lunch we watch a movie titled "Big Hero 6" it's a nice movie it give me movie hang over though yep haha I felt like I didn't watch a movie for so long time hahaha 3 go home last wednesday we will miss them

                  It is a crazy week too because of transfers they're alot of missionaries going home and alot of missionaries coming in. Our apartment had been crowded for 2 days and they leave it dirty!! so we clean it up. And on transfer day its a busy day, we orient the new missionaries about supplies and finance and I gave supplies that they need for their training and stuff. There is one missionary from Tarlac wohooo Tarlaceñoes!!! They are 20 of them and we can't orient them in the same time so, we had like station where they will be schooled and rotate every 30 mins and yeah We repeat our orientation for 4times isn't that crazy and I need to speak in English.

               And yeah about our area, We haven't work that much this week because we have alot of stuff to do and Elder Erickson bid his farewell to members in the area yeah he got transferred to Bulihan he is now a Zone Leader. We will be audited this month so its crazy too. But even though we are so busy this week we still manage to go to some of our investigators, we went to Roy, Michelle and Domanog Kids. Roy is fine but he still don't read Book of Mormon though but he committed again so hopefully he will do it this time. Michelle it is a good lesson I don't know if she is joking or not she said she is pregnant hopefully not, She rejects us before but know she will do it now that she will progress. Domanog kids is my super spiritual experience this week even though they are kid ages 9-10 they have that desire for the Gospel too bad their parents don't want them to come, we are praying that the Lord will touch the hearts of their parents that they will listen to us too and see the changes in their kids, If not, I know not in our time but they will be baptism and we know we did our job to plant in their hearts the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

                 I love this work and I know that it is true.

Exchanges to Daang Hari

    This week I had a chance to work in Daang Hari Area with Elder Gaspar. Daang Hari is a walking area, we need to walk all the time and their area is HUGE. I also had a chance to know the members in the their ward and their leaders. I had a great time with them. In their area there are some cool graffiti so we decide to take pictures and I decided to collect pictures of graffiti in the areas that I will go. 

               This week is a great week in our area too. We have a goal date for Roy and Brother Anton(the artist), for brother Anton we know he needs time to progress but we are happy for his desires and his example for us. I know that the Lord is preparing him for something. I am praying hard for him. We also found a family and they said they will go to church tomorrow Hopefully they will do it. 

                 This week is a busy in the office I am excited though for the transfers next week, they are 20 missionaries coming in. Next week will be a busy week to because of the transfers and next next will be busy to because of MLC hehehe. But I am so excited for the next transfer hopefully me and my companion will harvest the fruits of our labors in the area.

                  Guess what our ZOne won the cleanest apartments this month!!!

In some point, Wrong Person will lead you to the Right Person

         

           This week I learn this wonderful lesson in my mission. Sometime the person that we meet is not the person that the Lord prepares for us, even though the Lord wants us to teach them, but that person is the right person that will lead us to those who are prepared to received the Gospel. Almost half of our investigators that we are focusing right now are found by that process. One of them is the painter guy, Brother Anton first we found his son that had been taught by the missionaries before and when we got back he is not there and not said that not interested anymore but the person who talked to us is his father who is the painter guy and we invite him to listen and he accepted it and now he is reading the Book of Mormon and he is very very interested to our message.

             Another one is one of our investigators son, We know that the Mom is not interested but her daughter really want to listen but she is too young to decide and, one time we went there and the Mom said she is busy or something then her son is outside and we invite him to listen to us and it was a really good lesson. I really love being the Lord's hand in His work. 

            This week Munoz and Ibgan family have a surprise post birthday celebration last Saturday after our preparation day. I am so happy that I am being loved in my area. They prepare a cake, bunurong kamatis w/ salted egg and Bicol Express. I love them and I am grateful to be part of their life and my life

            By the way Roy is back!!!! Wootwoot!!!

Aguinaldo Shrine Visit

   

                   This week we visit Aguinaldo Shrine for our companionship activity!! I really love the place, the history behind the house and the artifacts in the museum. Me and my companions enjoyed the trip!! We went to the highest part of the house which is the "WATCHTOWER" we are amaze by the view and the story of that house. I am grateful that we have a tour guide that volunteered to know those wonderful things. 

               Me and my companions in our area, focus on finding people this week and find those people that Heavenly Father prepares for us, I am really grateful and happy to meet a lot of people with different attitude and how they react when we start talking to them. But the most precious moment that happen is when we found those people that are prepared, being an instrument of the Lord is a privilege to help them answer the question to their souls and help them receive the restored Gospel help their family to be together again.

19th Birthday and Mission's 2nd Birthday

     This week is my Birthday week and Mission's Birthday too in the same day. It's that wonderful I'm born for this mission. And the mission celebrates my birthday and the mission birthday by having an activity called "Coke and a Poke" which means we will have Coke and Cakes plus a syringe!! yep a syringe what a nice gift for me ^^ This week I and 2 of my Kabahays(Elder Morales and Espiritu) had a flu so that syringe came late huh? hehehe I couldn't work for 2 days, Elder and Sister Petersen took care of us when we are sick and the "Nyquil" did the job to make us feel better. It is fun though that the whole mission watch "Meet the Mormons" while waiting for the shot. And nice to see my batchmates and friends in the mission. I really miss them so much. I have new friends too ^^ being in the office made me well known in the mission hehehe. 

               This week we also found an amazing guy who really seeking the truth and he is an artist. He said he will read the Book of Mormon and see if it is true or not. We really meet a lot of wonderful people this week and I really have fun with my companions we have different nationalities but we are working together in the Lord's work by being an instrument to bless the lives of others. I really miss you guys, take care always and remember that you are always in my prayers.

Sister Riz's Baptism!

                   Kamusta po ang linggo po ninyo? maganda po yung linggo ko ngayon may binyag po kami ^^ hehehe nabinyagan yung investigator namin na nahihirapan na magbasa pero nababasa padin siya heehee masaya ako dahil ako yung nagturo sakanya kasi sobrang humble niya ehehe, malungkot din ang week nato kasi umalis na si Kuya Roy, lumipat na siya sa Manila pero nagpapray padin ako na sana bumalik siya pati yung pinsan niya na si Kuya Jeffrey kasi sayang mabibinyagan na sana sila next week pero alam ko may plano ang Diyos para sakanila.

                 This week din nagtry po kami ng Door to door literally, sobrang nakakakaba padin kasi nagdodoorbell kami at nagtatao po sa mga bahay nasa splits kami noon kasama ko yung mga Ward Missionaries hehehe, nakita ko talaga na nag improve na ako sa pagiging mahiyain ko sa pagkausap sa mga di kilalang tao kasi dati sobrang nanginginig ako pero ngayon no sweat hehehe usap agad hehe ewan ko po ba mas makapal na siguro talaga ang mukha ko ngayon at mas nararamdaman ko na mas nafufulfill ko yung calling ko bilang Missionary and mas nagagamit ako ni Heavenly Father bilang instrument niya para sa mga tao.

                  May goal din po kami sa mission na magkaroon ng baptism in the same day sa July 25. ayun meron na kaming isang ginogoal si Brother Jordan. sana makahanap pa kami ng iba para maaccomplished namin yung goal namin. Meron din kaming investigator ang pangalan niya ay Myla, astig yung Story kung paano namin siya nafind, kasi noong kinausap namin siya sabi niya,"INC po ako pasensya na", tapos biglang lumabas yung asawa niya na lasing tapos sinabi niya,"Mga Mormons? pasok kayo" kaya yun pinapasok kami tapos hindi din naman naking si Brother kaya si Sister na nagreject samin ang humarap, pero after namin na magturo nag open siya samin na excumunicated sila sa INC, at sabi niya na bumalik kami, ngayon masaya na siya na tanggapin kami. 

                kamusta po kayo kamusta po yung family natin? kamusta po ang mga kapatid ko? kamusta po si papa? next week na yung birthday ko tatanda nanaman ako neto hehee. Pagpakatagtag lang po. Ingat kayo palagi at mahal ko po kayo, lagi po kayo sa prayers ko
