Transfers

Hello Everyone!

I am still alive!!!

This will be short. I just finished doing our Zone Reports...

It is so hard to be a Zone Leader alone!!!

Well, Elder Naylor got transferred last wednesday.

It was sad for me, We got separated for the 2nd time.

I was paired with Elder Quinzon and Elder Dela Cruz for 3 days.

I had so much fun with them. They are both wonderful Elders.

It was hard balancing missionary work in both of our areas, and doing zone businesses at the same time.

So, right now,

I am with Elder Singh because his companion just finished his mission.

Transfer Day is on Aug. 3-4.

That's all for today.

Keep Safe!

With all my Love

Hello sa Lahat!

Well, Last week was really a fast one... There's a lot of things that happened last week! Too many to write...

Well, Last Wednesday was District meeting...

We learned a lot about Faith Essentials...

The following day was our Zone Interviews! Oh, It was wonderful!

Elder Naylor and I had so much Fun helping our missionaries prepare for the Interviews. The Area Books, CLS Books, and 72 hour kit bags were checked in the interviews. 

Here's the names of the areas, and missionaries in our Zone,

Branch 8: Sister Tumala and Sister Hansen -Sister Training Leaders

Sta. Rosa: Elder Mielke (District Leader) and Elder Guia

Ward 6: Elder Quinzon (District Leader) and Elder Dela Cruz

Ward 4: Elder Neri and Elder Flores

Ward 1: Elder Faasavalu (District Leader) and Elder Singh

Ward 2: Sister Merwal and Sister Baer

Ward 5: Sister Funaki and Sister Pantila

Talavera A: Elder Mendoza (District Leader) and Elder Romualdo

Talavera B: Elder Daylosan and Elder Dala.

And of course,

Ward 3: Elder Naylor and Elder Ordejan -Zone Leaders

This is a great Zone! I love all the missionaries in our Zone.

They're like my little babies. hahaha.They're all wonderful!

Different individuals with different personalities and stories.

Also, Last Friday right after Weekly Planning, We had an exchanges with Elder Dela Cruz and Elder Quinzon.

I worked at their area with Elder Dela Cruz!!! (Elder Dela Cruz is one of Elder Mecham's batch coming here in the field)

It was a good exchanges! It was a successful day!!!

I was amazed at Elder Dela Cruz! He really did his best that day.

I told him that He deserves to be in this mission. He is one of the finest!

I have learned a lot from him that day. I am looking forward for his successes.

Saturday was wonderful! We had a Less Active Reactivation Activity in Ward 1.

They call it Ward Blitz! 7 companionship joined the activity.

It was a success!  Members and Missionary force is amazing!

There is great power for those that have great responsibilities!

Each companionship of missionaries was paired with 2 or 3 members.

It was really a good activity. Unity was built, and Charity was strengthened.

One of our Investigator got baptize last Saturday, around 6 pm.

Sister Rowena Galvan. She is Solid! She wants to set a good example to her Children. She have received a profound testimony of the Gospel.

She was in tears during her baptism. It's always awesome to witness this scenes.

My heart always melts...

It's good to be a missionary.

Sunday Night or last night was the best!!!

Around 7 pm We received a call from the Stake Leaders, and said that They need us for their Bishopric Training Meeting. We totally forgot that meeting.

So, Elder Naylor and I hurried to the stake, unplanned, unscheduled, and confused. Both of us haven't attended such meeting like this.

So, We both don't know what to do. They wanted us to present the status of Missionary Work in the Stake/Zone. So, We presented a power point that we already used in our SMC.

They cooked us really well with questions, comments, and corrections.

Elder Naylor and I felt bad for our report... In that moment, I remembered this words; "The Lord is my light, then why should I fear?"

That is actually my favorite hymn.

The meeting went well, I guess. We just need to prepare next time.

I think that's all for today...

One more good news! The Family that Elder Armatage and I baptized in my first area are getting sealed this 23rd. I am going to the Temple with them!!!

So Excited!

Thanks for reading...

With all my love:

Hello

Well, Today's gonna be a short one...

Last Tuesday we had our MLC or (Mission Leadership Council) in the Mission Home.

It was a wonderful experience! All the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders of this mission gathered together to talk about the mission, and etc.

We received a lot of information's and revelations from President and Sister Clark.

We delivered the messages that we heard from them to our Zone mates the next day.

Wednesday, We had our Zone Training Meeting. The Zone gathered around 10 a.m.

Elder Naylor and I with our Sister Training Leaders (Sis. Tumala and Sis. Hansen)

delivered everything that we received from our MLC.

Our Zone mates participated really well. Some shared good insights, and asked inspired questions.

After the Meeting, We had our PIZZA PARTY! wooohooo! It was way good!

Why do we have Pizza Party? Because last June, Our Zone got Standard Of Excellence (S.O.E) for Baptisms.

President and Sister Clark sent the Pizza's to us. 

Our Zone happily feasted on it. haha.

Also, We had an exchanges with Elder Mendoza and Elder Romualdo last Thursday. My companion was Elder Mendoza. We worked in our area.

It was a wonderful experience. Elder  Mendoza is one of he District Leaders in our Zone. He's a good missionary. He's a positive person, and loves to eat street foods. haha.

Last Saturday, 4 Baptismal Interviews happened all over our zone.

One of our investigator, (Rowena Galvan) She was interviewed by Elder Quinzon, Elder Quinzon is our District Leader. She passed the interview.

We interviewed 2 investigators of Elder Mendoza and Elder Romualdo in their area.

Both passed the interview. Lastly, We interviewed the investigator of Elder Faasavalu. and He passed too.

Baptisms are happening this week.

We are blessed with valiant and hard working missionaries in our Zone, They truly know their purpose.

I Love the missionaries in our Zone!

Elder Naylor is still awesome! He cares a lot for me, and every missionary in our Zone too.

That's all for today,

Love:

Marvelous!

Hello Everyone!

Well,

A lot of things happened last week...

We spent a lot of time in the Computer doing the Zone Reports last Monday.

My companion did it, because I am new and still need to observe how it's done.

Also, last Wednesday was my 20th Birthday!!! Aaagh! I feel so old! 

The night before my birthday, Elder Naylor put a lot of sticky notes all over our apartment while I was asleep. I woke up the next day, and started seeing them in every corner of the house. I have a picture attached in this letter.

He even surprised me with the help of our Zone, (He gathered all our Zone mates) and they sang Happy Birthday to me after the meeting.

It was sweet of him. Oh, How I love this guy...

Celebration was wonderful!!! I am grateful for the life that God has given me.

And I am forever grateful for those who made a big impact in my life.

I think without this 2 years of voluntary service as God's servant my 20 years of living in this planet would be boring pr in other words this 2 years of me being a missionary completed the missing piece of my life. This is home for me. I Love serving others, and seeing them change because of what you do.

Cabanatuan Zone is filled with mighty missionaries... Base on my observations.

The missionaries in this Zone works really hard, and is totally focused in their purpose as a missionary. Some of the areas in our Zone are still struggling because both of the missionaries are new in the area. But, overall The Zone is working hard for July and August...

Our area here is totally different in my last area.

I miss the Bukid (Farm) area. But I am learning to love the City.

I can see a big potential here. There's so many people! Oh my gosh!

So many people to talk to, compared to my last area. Elder Naylor and I had a great week of finding new investigators. besides doing some Zone businesses.

Elder Naylor and I are working hard in one of our investigator that is going to be baptized on July 13, She's a part member, and Her husband is deaf and is a member of the Church.

For me Her husband defines the word "Language"

We invited him to one of our lessons with a different investigator because we don't have a male present for the lesson. Elder Naylor and I finished teaching our Investigators, We stared at the deaf brother, and He started sharing his thoughts, and testified How reading the Scripture will bless their lives.

That was the highlight of my week. Sharing the Gospel doesn't mean you need to use every body senses that you have. The only thing that you need is the Holy Ghost.

That Brother strengthened my testimony of the power that the Holy Ghost can bring to our Lives...

That's all for today...

Please Do good things!

*One of our pictures was with the Senior Couple Missionaries, The Whitings, and The Pugh's. We helped them with the process of the apartment of the new senior couple missionaries that is going on our Mission. They treat us lunch after the business. That's so nice of them.
