As for me, life is
great as always here in Camalaniugan. We just got back from Laoag today
from a training from our Mission President, President Andrada. He is an
amazing guy. He is very logical and owns a huge business, so he really
focuses on Leadership Principles and strengthening the wards and
branches where we are assigned. He has a great sense of humor. This week
I finished the Lyrics for our Philippines Laoag Mission song. I thought
I wouldn't be writing songs here, but I was wrong, haha!
And this week, in our testimony meeting, one of the
recent converts last April, Bro G, got up and bore his testimony. I
felt like Brigham Young, when he heard the humble testimony of one man
and was converted. When Brother G testified humbly and so
thankfully for how the gospel has changed his life, I felt the Spirit so
strongly testifying. Missionary Work is SO important. It changes the
lives of people from Night to Day. Before, G was a heavy drinker
and smoker. He would argue with his wife and not help out around the
house. He is a new man because of the Gospel.
Another
experience we had this week, is we taught a Grandmother, whose daughter
is a member in a different branch. As we shared, her other daughter came
in to listen and participate. They had SO much good to say about their
family members. They said, "Their family is so spiritual, they never say
anything bad, they are close family!" And then the one shared how a
different member of the church she works with gave her a book of mormon
one day and said "Basahin nyo na lang ito" (You just read this.) It is
so simple what the member did, but it made an impression on that
nonmember. .
I love you all, and have another great week!!
