Hello Family!!
We
were blessed this week with Sister Cordon and Elder Wakolo visiting our
mission! They were so inspired. Elder Wakolo (from memory) gave us a
list of 36 chapters in the Book of Mormon that will help us to grow in
our understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Because as your
understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows your desire to
share the gospel will grow!!
Here's the list: 1 Nephi 19, 21 ;
2 Nephi 2, 6-9, 31-33; Jacob 4; Mosiah 2-5, 14-16; Alma 7, 11-12,
39-42; Helaman 4; 3 Nephi 11,27; Mormon 9; Ether 3,4,12; Moroni 7,8,10
Sister
Aguda and I are reading together in our companionship study. We're
really excited to see our understanding grow and our desire to share
grow! There's always always room for improvement in our understanding of
our Savior. So I invite all of you to read too! I know God will bless
you with a greater desire to open up and talk to the people around you
about the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Every member a missionary! Sister
Cordon talked about how we need to have the Holy Ghost with us to be
effective teachers and Elder Wakolo talked about how we're on a rescue
mission for God. It was so wonderful.
We went to Bacolod again on Friday
for Sister Aguda's english test and we got caught in a few crazy
downpours so our work time was seriously cut this week but we still saw
miracles with our lessons- especially feeling the spirit help us know
what to say.
One of our people Christine is really shy and
she doesn't want to pray with us or on her own. If you have any ideas of
how we can help her gain that desire to talk to her Heavenly Father
please let us know! Her whole family is part of the church and they have
a goal to be sealed! We are praying so hard for them! Especially for
Christine that she will be able to gain her own testimony.
Being
an American here gives us so many opportunities to talk to new people.
Everyone goes nuts when they see me or hear me speak Ilonggo. Sometimes
little kids record our lessons so they can show their friends the "kana"
speaking. I just pray that it will get them interested in our lessons
and not in me. It's so weird to be the center of attention all the time
but I'm trying to use it to our advantage so we can invite more people
to come unto Christ.
Everyday as a missionary
is the greatest gift I've ever been
given! It's so wonderful to be on
the Lord's errand. If you want to be happy be a missionary. Tell people
that God loves them- they need to know. Pray always! I love you all
bunches.
