Mahal ko Mangos.

PAMILYA!!!! Kamusta! Magandang hapon po! Hindi ulan ngyaon! Pagpapala mula sa Diyos :) This has been a wonderful week of learning and growing. I feel myself becoming better everyday. I love feeling oh so close to the Savior. So this week we were able to go to General Relief Society Conference! What a blessing! In the Philippines, the broadcast comes a week later, I think due to the difference in time. I loved how it was all about making covenants! Being on a mission I feel as if I understand my covenants with God so much more than ever before. I understand and feel clarity in the truths taught because when I teach, we have to have this same clarity for our investigators to understand. We get to watch general conference next week! YEA! We wont be able to work on saturday or sunday because of the travel and study time. I will feel so lazy. But so grateful to be uplifted. So much good happened this week in our teaching. We are teaching the Pestano family. They are part member and Sister Marino and I committed the father and the son to be baptized 2 weeks ago. Recently Sister Kerr and i finally had the opportunity to teach the whole family together! They are a potential completed family! YAH! And it gets better, their whole family came to church this week! WOW! Masaya po ko!!! This is the first time. I want them to become a selestiyal pamilya!! I was teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ and we got to baptism. I pointed to a picture of Jesucristo being baptized and said, "sino po ito?" Who is this? It was quiet for a while and then the first one to answer was their one year old son say, Jesus! Little children are really so close to the veil. We are teaching Sister Rosel. She is so sweet. I love her. She has received a witness that the Book of Mormon is true. She said that she feels like Jesucristo is right beside her when she is reading the Aklat ni Mormon. What a wonderful reminder that our Savior is always close to us when we keep His commandments. She loves reading this Book. She says that she wants to be like Nephi! She has such masigla (enthusiasm) for reading it and said, "I think this book will help my family." She was going to come to church, except they have no money. They are very poor and have a mud floor with a bed. It is so sad, church is too far away for her to walk with her baby. This will be a huge faith strengthener for her. Miracles need to happen. We also were teach Sister Adie. She is about 45 and own a tindihan on the side of the rode. We teach her on the side of the highway. We were teaching the Panunumbalik ni Jesucristo and she was so open and had a soft heart. Pero, when I started teaching about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon...so many distractions happened. Jeepneys were stopping and wanted cremos, so many distractions that she had to leave a couple of time. I feel as if Satan was trying to do all in his power so that she could not hear the message we had for her. meany face. She was hugging the book of mormon and was so happy to read it! Also we are teaching the less active Sister Roming. She said she couldn't go to church without a falda. So i bought her a skirt so she can come to church! Her face lit up and she is making plans to talk with her husband \who banded her from going to church. We recently found out that her husband is deaf and cant hear very well. He is hard to the missionaries because he is embarrassed that he cant understand them. This is were dance comes in... :) i am hoping to act out the lessons for him. Like a movie maybe and whip out some sign language...haha we will see if it happens, but I am excited to help them! We also has quite the adventure in our apartment! Our fridge broke so almost all the food went bad, the office elders saved us and brought us a new one after 5 days! Pero, it was starting to smell bad. Also, we left our garbage outside and were moving them out, and there were maggets all over! Nasty! It looks like moving rice...I might not be able to eat rice for a day haha. DanC 76:60 We are celestial people. We are on the path to becoming more pure like our father. It says in this verse, that "they shall overcome all things" when talking about the celestial people. I know that I can overcome all things because that is my potential to become celestial. The hardships we bear will only be but a small moment. Bring it on! p.s. I found a huge bahay during tracking! Check it! Mahal ko po kayo!! Salamat para sa lahat pananalangin! Ingat po! Sister Reed
