Reaching Hope

Everyone!

Remember that, I Love You!

Grateful to have Elder Fletcher by my side...

He's a Wonderful Missionary! It's an honor to be chosen to serve with him.

I know that this is Christ's Church, The Book Of Mormon is Perfect and it will help us come closer to God as we abide its teachings. The Gospel will bring us Hope, Joy, and Peace! It will help us Restart, Change, and Improve!

I know that Jesus Christ lives. He is our Savior!

This is all for now...

Sincerely,

Elder Ordejan

Ghosts from the Past!

Hello Everyone!

Wow! An Unbelievable thing happened! Elder Fletcher and I are both staying in our area! Hahaha. We really thought that one of us is transferring.

I'm Grateful that we're both staying. I know there's a reason why.

Well, We had an okay week. Transfer Announcement was good.

We have 5 new missionaries in our Zone.

Being a Zone Leader is AWESOME!

We get to see who's transferring in our Zone first before others...

After the Announcements, Elder Fletcher and I bought Ice Cream for our missionaries as a token of our Gratitude for their Service.

Every missionary in our Zone has a special place in our heart.

They make our Zone move!!! It's an honor to alongside with them.

Our area is getting better. We found 6 new investigators, and most of them are potential!! Faith has been planted. We just need to nurture the seed f Faith that my companion and I planted in their hearts.

One of our Investigator is progressing like crazy! He joined the Youth Single Adult Activity last Saturday and found new friends. He enjoyed it...

He will be interviewed this Saturday...

We also have an upcoming Ward Activity on September 20 (Tuesday), in connection with The Family Week Celebration. We had a meeting about it yesterday. It was good. Every Auxiliary Leader participated and contributed for the upcoming activity. Tomorrow we will help our Ward Mission Leader decorate the Chapel... I am so excited!!!

Elder Fletcher and I are doing great. There's Ups and Downs in our companionship which we need to work out...

But everything is well. We love each other and We are doing our best to improve each day...

Also, Last Saturday, Tarlac, Camiling, Paniqui, and Sta. Ignacia Stake.

And I got a chance to see the people from Moncada (they belong to Paniqui Stake). I was also reunited with one of my Short Term Trainee... So Awesome!

That's all for now...

Hide & Hide, #OctoberBlest, 93Days

Hello

Yes, I do need to explain my Subject Heading...

👉Hide & Hide

Most of our Investigators were hiding from us last week. Elder Fletcher and I keep coming back to their houses every day. But it seems like they're really good at hiding.

I know this is bad to say, but it's FRUSTRATING!!! hahaha 

We got punted a lot of times... I've been praying really really hard for miracles in our area...

I even prayed and fasted about it yesterday. We have high hopes for this week. Especially because a good amount of members committed to work with us for this week. 😁

We will really work hard this week. My companion and I are batch mates going home, So, both of us committed to give our very best shot every day.

👉#OctoberBlest

 This is a new theme for next month. Last Tuesday all the District Leaders, Zone Leaders, and Sister Training Leaders of our mission gathered together for this Special Leadership Meeting. There the OctoberBlest was launched.

What is OctoberBlest???

It is a month of Weekly Baptizing for our mission.

We have given training's, and tools how to baptize weekly for the month of October.

September will be the month of preparation for the OctoberBlest.

We will be finding a lot in September and Baptize a lot on October.

So, that's the OctoberBlest. In short, Missionaries needs to Have Faith, and Work Hard! hahaha

👉93Days

Yes, Sad to admit. i only have 93 Days!!! 😭😥

In connection with this, I received a letter from our Mission President about my missions end. I will attach it here. Plus, The Senior Couples who works in the office sent me a text last Wednesday, I will attach the picture here too.

Our Zone is doing good. We made a Zone Shirt and we will get it this Friday...

Plus we might go to the Falls next Monday...

So, I think that's all for now...

Remember that...

I Love You!!!

Bright Side

Hello Everyone!

It is raining here a lot!!!

Despite of the rain, Missionary Work will never stop! Rain or Shine!!!

We just need to stay alert and be careful working outside.

Anyway, We had our Zone Conference last Tuesday...

It was a great conference! Paniqui, and Camiling Zone joined us

Oh my! I conducted the conference! hahahaha. I was terrified when Elder Naylor told me that i will conduct the conference. I think I did okay. I can tell that my voice was wavering though. hahahaha. It was a great experience.

We learned a lot from the messages of Pres. Clark, Sis. Clark, and the Assistants... It went straight to my treasure box. 😁

We also had an exchanges with Elder Teraza and Elder Capales last Friday.

I worked with Elder Teraza in our area. It was a good experience to work with this missionary. He is currently training a missionary, He loves it, and made me miss Training again. haha. I learned a lot from Elder Teraza, especially a lot of Ilocano words. (If you remember, He was one of my kabahay (housemate) in moncada)

Elder Fletcher and I have been doing our very best in finding people to teach and using the 4 Tools. It helps a lot, and makes our work a lot easier! There is many blessings if we use this 4 tools. Our member support is weak though.  If you remember we found this Diamond Investigator 3 weeks ago. He keeps on Shining, &  impressing us. Because male members in our area are always busy. We invited this investigator to work with us in one of our female investigator. He lovingly said yes. We were surprised at his quick and Faith filled reply. He changed his shirt and as we were walking he started asking us about missionary work. Hes really desires to serve God. We invited him to share something in the lesson and he said that he will try. Actually, it's the first lesson of our Female Investigator. We taught The Restoration with her, and at the end of the Lesson our male investigator started sharing his thoughts, and experiences, I really like what he said to our female investigator. He said; "I am just like you, They found me 3 weeks ago, I've been through a lot of religions already, and here I am, currently journeying their religion. I still haven' received the answer if their Church is true, But I recommend you to listen to them." The Spirit filled the entire room. My heart started pounding because of Joy. I love this work! I believe that The Holy Ghost is in that lesson. 

*Tomorrow we will have a Special meeting where all the Leaders(Zone Leaders, Sister Training Leaders,and District Leaders) of our mission will gather together. 

I think that's all for now...

Please remember that the Lord loves you, knows you, and is willing to help you at all times. (Please read the Book Of Mormon everyday too)

Raining Blessings

Hello EVERYONE!

Sta. Ignacia Zone are doing good. I've heard that the Zone haven't got SOE yet.

I was more motivated to work and help the missionaries believe that we can achieve SOE. My companion and I have high hopes for September. It will be a good month.

The missionaries in our Zone are doing good. We are getting good at using the 4 tools of our mission. The only concern that we have this week was the rain.

It rained a lot last week. good thing, our missionaries are smart and aware of what's best to do...

I think I gave a lot of workshops last week...

I gave the workshop in our District Meeting, which elevated the view of my calling from missionaries to ANGELS. Modern Angels with flesh and bones.

Angels that give the finest service in this part of His vineyard.

Yesterday I was one of the speakers, and I gave a talk about Honesty, and I think it was the most awesome talk I've ever did. Honesty is one of the most important principle that a lot of people forgets to live. it's a moral compass of our life. 

Just like Faith, It drives us from different directions that often leads us to the Savior.

After my talk, I also taught in the Gospel Principles class. (on the spot)

To be honest, before I'm always scared talking to public.

But one thing that I've noticed was I overcame that fear.

I can feel the Spirit assisting me in my workshops and lessons.

We have this awesome Investigator, He is progressing continuously.

He came again to church yesterday for the 2nd time. He told us that He loved the service especially the lesson yesterday about Families. We have a feeling that one day He will be dragging his Family to the Church. The Faith that we planted to his heart is starting to swell and grow... We have so much faith for this man.

Elder Fletcher and I are still in the finding people to teach process. We are meeting a lot of interesting people. one was a retired pastor from the Methodist Church. He talked too much and doesn't want us to teach him the Gospel. He just wants to have us listen to his message. So, It's kinda fun.

Elder Fletcher and I defined our companionship as the finest ones. haha. We are getting along really well. I love this guy. He's the most down to earth person I've met..

That's all
