Come Unto Christ and You Will Find Eternal Life.

Dearest Family, Well, this was a good week! I love the work of the lord. I am finding as I give my self to the lord and sacrifice all that i am, I am becoming 1 with Christ and His will. I love my Savior and feel myself lifted up to His work. We had exchanges in Barra. It is the poorest area I have ever seen in the philippines. It is dirt and bamboo. The people are really dark and only have ripped clothes to wear with barely enough food. We worked 2 days over their to help the sisters in their area. We found some promising investigators. Roxannes mom signed the papers for her to be baptised! It is a miracle that she softened her heart. God knows who he wants part of His church. her baptism will be on Sunday :))). One more on Gods children will be a candidate for the celestial kingdom. Ever since the strom in our area we have been giving service and focuing on the Gecale family. The father has had a hot head to the church for years and years and years. FINALLY we have penetrated his wall! We taught him for the first time. He has a desire to follow Christ back to the Father. He wants to be baptized. He will be the last one of His family so that they can be together forever. He has a problem with the word of wisdom but we will help him with that. He said he wants to baptised in December, but i felt the words of the HOly ghost to tell him now. I told him brother, i feel that this is the time for you. I know that this is the time for you to change, to repent and follow the example of the Savior. He was quiet. Everything was entering his mind and the spirit was so strong. I have a strong feeling he WILL be baptised. That was my feeling after we walked out. I am truly humbled from the example of Sister Rosalie. She statred crying and said that her husband has not came home for 2 weeks. All her family has no food. They are starving. The children had to drop out of school and now they sell bread in the morning. Sister has a desire to come to church. She said she feels it is truye. THey have no money for traveling so we offered to walk with them. We come on sunday and she is selling coal outside her door. They dont even have enough to buy rice. When we came, they didnt use that as an excuse to stay home. They brought it in and walked 50 min with us to church. 3 nephi 13:33. This is the promise i gave to her. Heavenly Father will bless her with spiritual and temporal blessings. I am so humbled in the work of the Lord. I feel my Saviorsw love all around me, lifting me up to accomplish what i cannot do on my own. Mahal Kits Sister Reed
