Lift Where You Stand

Beloved Family, To a wonderful week in the Philippines, I love the work of Salvation. Roxanne was baptised and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. It was a wonderful baptism and the yw had a special musical number for her. We had the baptism on sunday morning before church and then she was confirmed right after that. She glows with the spirit inside her. I know she will become a leader in the church. She asks such thought provoking questions. She is converted to the gospel bc she knows the BOM is true and has received several witnessed for herself. Sister Rosalie is really progressing. her blessing from church is that her husband came back. She is so agrateful and happy. She said at church she felt like Joseph Smith and felt the light open her heart. That Christ was welcoming her, She keeps saying that the light bursts from her chest. We had a lessons and taught her the doctrine of christ. She finally understood. We drew it out and she said, i finally understand sisters, i need baptism in this church to be saved. We also taught her the GOd head., I guess its a blessing that i am a visual learner bc it really clicks for her when i teach her like that. I drew her a picture of the god head and she started to cry. she said, i though thats what it was. I was to tell my family and all my friends. That pure truth just came to light of her and made her cry, the precious truths have been taken away but have been restored through our church. I know that the gospel blesses families. Sister Irene a LA that is ALMOST reaCTIVETED said, My family was a mess, until we all became members. All things that are messy can be made right through Christ and His atonement. One of our referrals the Derrdas family, their heart is so hard. Sher thinks that she is perfect and doesnt need baptism. She says she has no sins. The Doctine in the BOM helped her to realized that she does need it, bc Adam fell. We had MLC this week and were instructed by president. 6 hours of travel and 6 hours of meeting. We are helping ot come up with the training p[lans. We are helping sister gandia retuen to church. She is soooo close. She has social concerns with her family. We were teaching her the Tree of life and everything came out. She just needs to strengthen her faith. We had exchanges with the sisters from Lopez, I really enjoy working with the sister. yen lang. we are doing our best to strengthen the units in which we serve. Love you! Mahal kits! Sister Reed
