My 8th Baptism, Gratitude and Transfers

Hello Family and Friends!

Well, Last Week was really a great week for me.

We had a Service Project in Santor Last Tuesday! (Area of our Housemate's)

We cleaned the Canal... ( My First Service Project) It was really FUN!!!

The Brgy. Officials thanked us for Cleaning it.

Also, The President of the Missionary Recovery Center called me via Phone.

We had a good talk, He taught me Life Changing Lessons which I can really apply as an Individual and also as a Missionary. I am really Grateful that I am here in the Philippines Angeles Mission, Serving the Lord. I am also Grateful for my FAMILY who helped , Support, & Inspires me the most. And also, I am Grateful for the People I met here in the Field, My Companions, District Mates, Zone Mates, Investigators, Members, And My Mission Leaders.

I Just Want to say Thank You!!!

Also, Last Saturday We had a National Day of Service!

We cleaned the Public Amusement Park of Bongabon...

The Members and Leaders of the Bongabon District were all there, As well as the Bongabon Zone Missionaries. It Was really FUN!!!

Saturday Night, We had a Baptism Service!!! Arjay Napao got baptized!

My Heart melts seeing him Smiling and excited immersing to the Waters of baptism.

He bore a short powerful Testimony. He got baptized along with the Baptismal candidates of our District Mates.

Transfers are coming... It'll be on the 23rd... and I am 80% Sure that I'm transferring.

Well, No matter what Happens, I know that everything will be Well! :)

Pray and Read the Scriptures, Everyday! Everyday! Everyday!

Interview with my Mission President & 1st Gen. Conf. in the Field

Hello Everyone?!

How are you all doing?

The Highlight of my Week was when, One of our Investigator passed the Baptism Interview!
It gives Joy to my Heart as I see him Smiling and Excited when He found out that he Passed.

The General Conference was really great! I really Loved the talk of President Dieter F. Uchtdorf about Grace.
"It is by God’s amazing grace that His children can overcome the undercurrents and quicksands of the deceiver,rise above sin, and be perfected in Christ.
Though we all have weaknesses, we can overcome them. Indeed it is by the grace of God that, if we humble ourselves and have faith, weak things can become strong"

Yesterday My Mission President came & gave me a time to share the things that I'm going through. (These are my concerns that I shared to Him: Trust and Testimony, Imperfections Of Others, Suicidal Thoughts, Having a Hard Time focusing on the Work, Tiredness, And Blaming Myself for my Past Transgressions) Some of my Concerns was answered by The General Conference. And It was really Great.

I really appreciate the things that My Mission President said. I admit that I was deceived by the Power of Satan. And just like what He said, Satan was behind me. I also admit that I stayed focus at the Negative instead of Positive Things, also for being ungrateful for the Blessings I received. I am going to work on these things. I am going to work Hard, Be Brave when I know that something isn't right, I am going to be Grateful for the specific blessings that the Lord bestowed upon me, And I will Focus on my Own Imperfections on How to Improve them. As what He suggested yesterday, I did the online adjusting to missionary life. And I was in the Orange Level. It has some suggestions and stuff that I should do in order to help me combat with stress. I am really grateful for the Counsels and Blessings that I received from my Mission President yesterday, As He was saying the Blessing I felt my Tears rolling down. He cheered me up after giving the blessing.

Tomorrow I am going to talk to a Missionary Recovery Center Representative via Phone, And see if What I should do about my Concerns. If Needed they will send me to Manila to meet and talk to them Face to Face.
That's all for today my Beloved Heroes!

Always Remember that I LOVE YOU!!!

Pray and Read the Scriptures, Everyday, Everyday, Everyday!

4 Months in the Mission Field!

Hello Everyone!? I am safe! from that Super Typhoon Chedeng!

What's Funny was It didn't Rain here in Bongabon! TV knows how to lie huh?

No Way!!! I can't believe it! I'm already 4 Months in the Field!
Time flies by so FAST! And I can't really deny the fact that even as a Missionary, The Ups and Downs of Life is still there. And it is really up to you, how you face it. I absolutely love what I am doing and am happy
that I can share what I love with the people here in Bongabon. I
want to show others that the most value and
happiness comes from living high moral standards and from loving yourself the way you are. Sometimes fear gets in the way. Fear is the opposite of
love,and I have to keep reminding myself of that every day.
Last Tuesday We had our Zone Interviews, All the Missionaries in Bongabon Zone came. ( It's my 2nd Zone Interview ) My Mission President asked me questions and stuff. I really felt his Love for me. And I really do Love The Wife of our Mission President. She's so genuine! She's an Amazing Woman!

Well, Our Work last week was pretty low, It's hard teaching without a 16 Years Old male member. But We did our best. We worked hard. And Eventually We were able to find 6 new Investigators. :)

ONE MORE GOOD NEWS!!!

Sister Jessica Punsalan, One of our Very Progressing Investigator, Her Brother Approved the Permission to be baptized on the 18th of April!
