Disciples of Christ

Pamilya! Magandang hapon mula sa Philipinas! Masaya po ako para sa lahat biyaya sa buhay ko. Mahal ko gawain mga misyonero. This week I have really seen how the Book of Mormon has changed the lives of the people we teach. Sister Lot wouldn't commit to a baptismal date because she was scared. She has came to church twice and is reading all her assignments. When we show her verses from the Book of Mormon, her face lights up. She is filled with the light of Christ. She told her best friend at church that she has the desire to be baptized. Revelation through church attendance and reading the Book of Mormon. It has the converting power to change lives. The Book of Mormon chased away her fear. Because it is a book of light. It brings light into a dark world. We had 3 of our Less Active families come to church this week! Yeah! It is good to see them use their faith and come to church. The members really help them to feel welcomed and loved. This thanksgiving was interesting...we felt an earthquake shake our whole apartment! It was so strong, the glass were shattering and it felt like the ground was about to move from under us, but we are safe. Then, our rice cooker broke and we ran out of gas. So we had no way to cook. Means no food for thanksgiving hahaha, opposite from the US. We were grateful to get rice soup for thanksgiving :). There would have been no atonement, except for the character of Christ. Elder Neal A Maxwell. I know that this time on earth is not only "doing", but it is "becoming". Becoming like what? Becoming like Jesus Christ. It is vital to what we do and who we are. We need to "be" as well as "do". I want to not only do the things Christ would do. But I want to Become what Christ would be. I know this is the work of God. Fulfilling prophesies of old. I love this work with my whole heart. Mahal Kita! Sister Reed
