Kamusta po kayo pamilya?!

 

 I love and think about you everyday! I am so nagpapsalamat to be a missiyonero!! Ito pinaka mahalaga paranasan ny buhay! An important experience in my life!  I would not take this experience back for the world!

 

I've been learning all the conjugations para sa Tagalog! I'm not even close in having them known. Pero, I know that the Lord will help me learn them! The philippinos mix up their p's and f's all the time!

For example, our teacher taught us that they will say welcome to the piesta (fiesta) or come to the farte farty??!(parte party) :) Haha, I could not contain myself and busted up laughing in the middle of class! I cant wait to hear them talk like that for reals!!

 

I made missionary history!!! They took a picture of all the missionaries in the MTC! We were in the MTC and took a panoramic shot of all of us! This is only the third time that they have taken pictures of a group of missionaries in the mtc. or so they say. It is the largest group of missionaries that they have ever had! Exciting time in church history this is. Grateful I am to be apart of it.

 

Gordon B Hinkleys son Richard G Hinkley gave us a Tuesday night devo! He said that there were 70,000 missionaries in the world! That no method or technology can substitute the missionaries  bring the spirit. Be said that we are arows in the quiver to help the lord. He said that the worst thing for a missionary to say is, I WISH I HAD! Regret. Never regret what we do in life. Instead say, I"M GLAD I DID! I think this can be applied to every ones life. Never regret what you do in life, be glad you did it! :) I was thinking that if i did everything that i wanted to, when i wanted to, i would have so many regrets bc it would not be in the lords plan for me. I know that i needed to be on my missiojn now, not earlier. my distriko has needed more strength. One of our Elders went home, we pray for him and miss him dearly. Another, is wanting to go home, i am trying hard to keep him here. We our distriko!

 

My MTC teacher Sister Briggs, whom i love said, " The MTC is like the celestrail kingdom. Outside is babalyon. When you work the spirit hits you like a ton of bricks. It is a reverent place." My other teacher Bro Kovach said once, "You are the panel of Gods Angels, what do you think?". Being endowed with power on high is a huge blessing! I have seen, felt and witness the spirit stronger in my life. The power it brings to me is so delicous!! I feel nearer to my God than I ever had before. I know He is there. I sang with the choir for the devo. We sang Near my God to Thee. One of my favorite songs sa Tagalog! Thinking about the song, The fire of our trails purifies us. I know that the Lord doesn't put us into deep water to drown us, but to cleanse us. Trail make us want to be better. Once the trail is over, the fire is gone and we can be mailable to the savior. His cross lifts us up.

 

Brother Richard Heaton said that the more you see his hand in his life, the more your faith will grow.  That our objective as missionaries is to have greater faith that the lord id ding His work, so you can  align yourself to help the lord do his work. I know that i need faith to recognize what the lord is trying to teach me.

 

Alam ko po na totoo po ang simbahan ni Jesucristo ng mga banal sa mga Huling Araw.

Alam ko po no mapagmahal po ang Tagapaglitas.

Mahal po tayo ng Diyos, salita ny Diyos ang Aklat ni Mormon.

Nagbayad-sala po si Jesucristo para sa mga kasalanan natin.

Tinutulungan po ng Diyos any Kanyang mag anak dito sa mudo.

Sa pangalan ni Jesucristo, amen.

 

Pabarito ako!! 2 Nephi 31:20-21

2 Nephi 4:20-21

Mosiah 24:14-15

 

Mahal Kita!!
