On Tuesday we watched the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast about the new schedule change and also we were able to listen to the Apostles and leaders of the Church discuss missionary work and missionary questions they knew we all have! I loved being instructed by the Apostles of the Lord in what to do and how to do it as a disciple of Christ. After the broadcast, President Bangal spoke to us about the Baguio Mission and how we can help the people here progress in the Gospel and come to know our Savior. I love being able to learn something new every time President speaks with us, and this week we have another meeting with him and other missionaries throughout the Mission to start implementing new ideas and opportunities to share the Gospel, in different ways! We ate lunch and then the Assistants helped us get a bunch of supplies for a street display we did during the week! On the way to our house we got in a car crash, but no worries no one was harmed and everyone was safe! Just a long time waiting for the Police and everything figured out!
On Wednesday we started a Street Display that went through Saturday, there is a bahay kubo right next to the City Hall where we set up posters of the baptism of Jesus Christ, the Plan of Salvation, and also the First Vision. So many people had questions about the posters and what we were doing. The whole 4 days wew ere able to meet new people and set times for missionaries to meet with them and share more. It was a lot of work but was so worth it! And Elder Campbell and I had a blast while doing it!
On Saturday after we took down the display, we went to the Church for a baptismal service. Two people were baptized and next week they will be confirmed at church! We were asked as the missionaries in the District to sing as a part of the service. I am glad that the other missionaries have good voices because it drowned out all the notes that i tried to hit but was not able to! In all seriousness, it was so cool to see people changing their lives and accepting the Restored Gospel into their hearts. I am so happy for them and all of the support people have continued to show them through their conversion process.
On Sunday, we had our Stake Conference! After the Conference, i was able to meet up with the members of the Luna Branch who had come down for Conference! It was so so good to see them and catch up with them! They all told me I looked skinnier! Its most likely because it has now been officially over a month since i have had a sip of soda! I was so happy that I was able to talk to them and especially sister Reyes! We used to teach her when I was in Luna, and now she is a member of the Church! She was baptized in January and has such a strong testimony!
During our Personal Study time this week, I was able to finish Matthew. I loved being able to read again exactly what Christ did while he was here on earth, and to hear His Doctrine, and what it is we need to do here on earth in order to be able to return to Him after this life. His Gospel is perfect, and His Atonement makes us able to repent and become clean from our sins.
I invite you all to pick up a Bible and read the book of Matthew! And especially Chapter 16. Have a great week and be safe!
-Elder Pitt
