Work, work, work its the secret :)

Kamusta po sa inyong lahat! It was a good week. We had our exchanges with the sisters on the island and then came back to our area. We really seeked for inspiration to help the sisters in their area, we were guided and the spirit will always tell us how to magnify our calling. I am humbled to be their servant and give of myself in every way that i can to hasten the work. We did get to go to the beach on monday for pday. It is beautiful! We also helped some people pull in fish from the sea! It was actually really hard. I am not sure how those little people do it. The life of the Filipinos is very simple and unscattered. They live uncluttered lives. Only the basics that they need to survive. I am humbled to live amoung them. We have been working hard in our area, but all of our investigtors are falling through the cracks! NOOOO! Heavenly father is really testing our faith right now in our area. We have recieved inspiration to focus on the ward. There isnt a vision, Ward mission plan, 15 names list, or Home and Visiting teaching. We want to help establish the church here in Tayabas. So that when we have investigators and recent converts, they will stay hanggang wakas. Our WML is also inactive kind of...we have lots to focus on with them. We are working on using the inspired teaching method to help them find how they can realize what they need to do to become established. This is our focus right now and also to FIND FIND FIND. We have faith that they are people ready to receive us. So far, most of them are very comfortable in their ways and dont want to listen to us. It is the most rejection that i think i have experienced on my whole mission. But, i know that if i seek heavens help, i can magnify my purpose here. Sad news! Our LA family that we were working with has been going back to the Catholic church! we found her praying to the rosary! NO! She is going through therapy right now. We are trying to help them, we found out that they never prayed to know if the church was true before they were baptized. Oh my. We have found this situation with almost all of the LA here. That is really sad to me because i know what the doctrine says about the people that do this. They are cast into the darkness and cannot stand before the presence of Heavenly Father. They will be judged for this. We are trying to help them understand the doctrine. Dont worry, with love :) I am working on a personal project right now. I am reading the BOM about faith lang. It has really been strengthening my faith to see all the examples in the BOM focused on the first principle of heaven. I am continuing to learn and grow and stretch myself. I love the doctrine of the father. yen lang po :) Sister Reed
