Hello Everyone!!!
I hope once again that you all had a great week! Hopefully its getting warm where you all are so you can get a feel for the weather we are having here! Its hot! But life is great!
This last week was full of excitement. On Tuesday we had an awesome District Meeting and Elder Acido gave a workshop about how lucky we are to be living in this time on the earth. I am still reflecting on it now about how lucky I am to be a missionary on the earth when the Gospel has been restored and wont be leaving any time soon. The technology we have to share with others our Faith in Christ, the cars, buses, (trykes) we are able to use to get to Church on Sundays, and the homes we live in the are able to invite the Spirit of the Lord into our lives. We are all so lucky.
We also talked about Conversion, and what that means, why its important, and how it happens. All of it is based on our desire and effort to learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
On Wednesday we went on exchanges and I was with Elder Acido! I have known him since i was new in the mission and he is an awesome teacher.
Thursday was awesome! A member in the Ward got his mission call so we went over to say congrats! Jhanru is serving in the Philippines Bocolod Mission! He leaves on May 5th, so we willbe bringing him with us to our lessons and appointments as much as we can to help him get used to Mission Life! We were also invited to a "Mimi-MTC" where the stake here in San Fernando had all youth from 13-17 go to the stake center and created a MTC for the day! They all had on little nametags, and all of the returned missionary members were teachers at the MTC! One of the stake leaders asked Elder Tavita and I to talk about the Purpose of missionary work and the blessings we can help others receive from the work. There were many youth there who were supposed to be at required school activities, who decided to go to the MTC instead. I think they were the ones who understand the missionary purpose more than I did when I was a youth. It is all about invite others to come unto Christ. Thats the goal. Thats the reason that there are missionaries. To help other receive the Gospel and to partake of the fruits of the Gospel.
On Sunday the Aquino Family went to "Mormon Church" as they say for the first time in their lives! They were pretty nervous to say the least, but it turns out that when they got there, almost every one knew them! Whether it was from College, to work, to grade school, or to neighbors, they had a connection somehow with almost every one they came into contact with! It was super cool. Nanay Teresita also came to Church again this week! She is such a hard working lady in getting to know who Christ is and how the Atonement can help her.
This week was all round great. I love being a missionary. And I love being able to represent the Savior as a chosen servant. I know that the Church was restored to the earth through Joseph Smith. I know that families can be eternal through the authority of God. I am grateful for all of you and love you all! Have a great week!
