Beautiful in White

 
The Flores Family is baptized!! It was a perfect baptism. When Nanay Eufemia came up out of the water she cried and said "Oh thank you Lord" it filled my heart. Allen cried when
she shared her testimony and she said she knew they had found the right path to get back to the kingdom of God. We had the baptism right after General Conference so a lot of members were able to attend and the spirit was strong. President Sumagpao came too and since La Carlota is a district not a stake he was able to preside which was special to me. 

General Conference was wonderful. I like what Elder Oaks told us to do- Teach Doctrine, Keep the commandments, Love one another, and GO to the Temple! I also loved the focus on having Joy and that we don't need to be perfect we just need to intentionally try really hard! I also cried every time they talked about the youth. I felt so much Heavenly Father's trust in them. When Prophet Nelson was talking I just remembered all the young prophets and how much Heaven trusted in and helped them- Mormon, Samuel, Joseph Smith, etc.. I'm so proud of the youth. I wish I was a better youth but I just hope they know their potential to do good and to build up the kingdom of God. 

Also this week April's son Jhaeden turned one and we had lunch with them and Jhaeden got to eat lots of cake it was a ball. I'll miss them so very much. 

It's my last week here in the mission field. This is still my motto- not just until I take off my tag but until the very very end. “The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; … the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”

See you all next week for one last email :D

Love you all

BACOLOD PHILIPPINES TEMPLE!!!!!!


This week was a whirlwind. The best whirlwind ever!

Here's some highlights

BACOLOD IS GETTING A TEMPLE! Best and biggest miracle ever! We cried in the pews at church yesterday

The Flores family all passed their baptism interviews and will be baptized this Sunday after conference! They're so excited and we're so excited!

I had my last Zone Conference this Friday and got to give my departure testimony. I cried and felt the spirit. 

This week I had exchanges with Sister Robertson and it was a blast! We saw so many miracles in one day. We showed the Restoration video to one of their people and she plugged it in to the biggest speaker ever and I'm pretty sure their entire neighborhood heard the voice of God the Father. It. Was. Epic. :D 

I had a few days of pretty sad sad depressed moments every time I remembered going home but I got a blessing and I'm better now :) Lot's of mixed emotions but all is well. 


I'm so excited for the future of the Bacolod Philippines Mission. Being a part of the Lord's work in this part of the vineyard is the greatest gift I've ever been given. 
 
Love,
Sister Zollinger

Big Happy family

maayong adlaw sa tanan! (good day to all)



This week Sister Dansie and I started jogging! Tatay Fernando's memory isn't doing so great so we run to his house every morning to remind him of his commitments and what day it is so he can go to church on the right day. Honestly it's been so fun and it's a blessing to see him progressing even more! The other day we taught the people in the house across the street from him and he knew we were there and he waited outside his house for an hour just so he could give us a gift of lansones (fruit) before we went home. He was so happy it was precious we love him so much. We met a lot of his kids and relatives and got to refer them all to the first branch sisters so that was really exciting! 

The Flores family accepted a baptismal invitation and date! They'll be baptized after General conference on the 13th! (one week late here) We had Family Home Evening with them on Monday and taught about The Family: A Proclamation to the World. They loved it. We ate dinner with them too and after dinner we asked them if they felt they would continue in the church and they said yes so we said well if that's how you feel we should probably invite you to be baptized! Sister Dansie got to extend her first baptismal invitation to 7 people and they all accepted. We skipped down the road after that. I'm crying just thinking about how happy we were :) 

Later in the week Nanay Eufemia got sick (the grandma of the Flores family) and on Sunday evening some members came with us to give her a priesthood blessing. Also when we got there Allen's husband Arnel was home again! He said he was excited and gave his permission for his family to be baptized. Anyways we taught Nanay Eufemia about priesthood blessings for the sick and then she got a blessing. After the blessing she smiled so big and shook hands with everyone in the room! Then she sat down again and started crying because she said she felt so happy. She told us that she had never felt that kind of joy before in her whole life. It was beautiful. She's 78 now and super excited to be baptized. 

April and her kids joined to choir for family week and they text us everyday good morning, good afternoon, and good night. It's so cute. We had family home evening with them too this week and taught them how to use the Come Follow Me manual. April and I had a really special conversation about the Holy Ghost and how it helps us to be comforted at all times and we shared some experiences we've had. 

It was a really great week here in the Lord's Vineyard.

Alfonzo the terror dog

Tatay Fernando has a puppy. I don't have puppy feelings towards him. 


Hello!!! 
April and Jace were baptized and confirmed!! It was the best. Jace was so excited and also he loved the baptism clothes and was doing karate moves while we were outside taking pictures. It was so pure. They were so happy and it was so cute to see them bear their testimony together. Looking back I think the most influential thing in April's conversion was that her oldest son Justine just got to go to the temple this year. (Two of her kids and her dad were baptized about a year ago) Once we got her talking about and focused on that she progressed so fast. I love the temple. We're trying to help everyone focus on that right now. Also they're joining the choir for family week at the church and I'm so excited! 

Allen and her family came to church again! The pastor from their old church wants to go back to their house again but Allen said she's going to tell him that they're not going to go there anymore. She wants to keep going with us and progress in the gospel :) I'm so excited for her. We're having a Family Home Evening with them later. Alllen's husband works in Iloilo and he came home for a few days this last week and we got to teach him! In two days in like 4 hours we taught him all of the first three lessons and about the temple. He had so many questions and they were all so important. We accomplished what we wanted to though and he is fully supporting his family to continue in the church! He also said he'll find the church closest to him in Iloilo :) After we left I guess he told Allen that he believed our message right away because of two things. 1) That we taught that we aren't born in sin from Adam and Eve 2) That I said I knew the truth and I would be selfish if I didn't come and tell others. I'm really hopefully that he'll continue in Iloilo and that their family can be complete and go to the temple together. :) 


Tatay Fenando's memory is hurting a little and he thought yesterday was Saturday and didn't come to church. He did come and watch April's baptism though and he loved it. We're trying to find a good time to meet with his wife too because he really wants her to go to the temple with him but her work schedule is so crazy. We're praying for a miracle. 

Vince came to church! Remember a few weeks ago the story with the two cotton balls and I lit them on fire. Well yeah the next week we went to pick them up for church and no one was home. One of the daughters ended up coming with us though but Vince left to go fix a roof... Anyways we hadn't taught him at all in like 3ish weeks and he just showed up yesterday to church with his youngest son! We were so surprised. He said he's bringing his whole family next week. OH the joy. 

I really really love being a missionary. It's the most joyful thing you could ever do. Honestly people always say it's hard.. but for me it's not really hard at all. It's joyful and it's not necessarily easy but it's not hard. The only really hard thing for me is living life without the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I did that once and that was really hard. But when we have a knowledge of the Plan and we're walking down the covenant path with an eternal perspective.. it's not hard it's happy! 

Happy Birthday Mark! I can't believe you're 30. 

Anyways I love you all. See ya when I see ya.

Heavenly Father is Good

Hello!

April and her son Jace are getting baptized this Saturday! They walked to church yesterday in the pouring rain just so they can get baptized this week. I'm so proud of them. The baptism excited never dies. It's so incredible for me to see the conversion process over and over again and the purity of a new testimony and what they'll do to show their faith. Yay!

Fernando is still coming to church every week. It starts at 8:50 and he gets there every week at like 7:45. I'm so amazed
by him all the time. The only problem is his memory is struggling a little and he forgets a lot of the things we teach him so we're just trying to teach him every day and do lots of review. He's so excited to be baptized it's so fun. We watched the Restoration video with him in Tagalog and he thought the people were actually speaking Tagalog he was so amazed it was wonderful. 

Allen's family wasn't able to come to church this week because her husband came home from Iloilo to visit them and then their pastor from their old church showed up at their house and he knew that they had come to church with us. We taught about temptation and how Satan shows up when we're getting close to the truth- How he showed up to tempt Jesus right after he fasted and other examples like that. The spirit was so strong and Allen said they're going to keep going. She's praying so much right now to know God's plan for her and where the truth is. We might invite them to be baptized this week we'll see what the Spirit says. 

I had an interview with President Sumagpao this week. I always really treasure those. It's wonderful to see how we've both changed since we got here the growth. I know it's divine design that he's my mission president. Heavenly Father is so good to me. 


I love you all.

kunti na kimbit na lang uuwi na po ako

Sugar cane... my dentist might be upset. But it was good!
Fernando has officially been to church 3 times! Also he is living all the commandments necessary for baptism so his baptism will be on September 28! We're so excited and he's so excited. He loves church and he always shows up like an hour early before anyone else and just waits outside the gate. He's so pure.  

Heavenly Father led us to the biggest miracle family ever this last week. Well it's been a few weeks in the making but they're incredible. In full: We went to follow up with a young mom we had taught once but she really wasn't feeling it and it was in our "punted days" when we were first opening the area and struggling with our teaching pool foundation and stuffs.. So like three days before that we walked by this huge group of teenage girls and talked to them for a second and they all said Sister Dansie is Taylor Swift (literally everyone everyday says that)  anyways back to the punted day we decided to keep working on the road where the young mom was and one of the girls  (Mary Jane) we had talked to was standing outside so we talked to her again and asked if we could teach and she said yes but there's lots of us is that okay and we were like yeah that's great! Then we taught her grandma, aunt, and tons of cousins and they were all SUPER receptive. Her aunt left and went back to her real house in another area.  We kept coming back for her cousin Adona (The one with the cool experiences about prayers)  and she was super receptive but eventually she left too so our plan was just to come back for her grandma and then ALLEN came home! She had been in Iloilo visiting her husband because he works there right now. Anyways we taught her a quick lesson about faith and why it's important to have a specific religion and she really got it. Then we came back and taught the restoration and she CRIED and said she's been searching for the truth her whole life and she knows this is it. 

Then she told us her life story and we all cried together. The next lesson we taught we followed up and asked if she believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet and if Russell M Nelson is a prophet today and she was like yeah of course God always has a prophet how could we know what God's word or the gospel is for the world without the prophet. Also after every lesson she thanks us like 10 times and hugs us and says we're a blessing from the Lord for her family. She's the most elect person I've met in my life. Also she LOVES the Book of Mormon she said it brings her so much peace and she always reads before bed because it helps her sleep so peacefully and she has no worries before sleep. OH my goodness our hearts are just full of gratitude we're so excited for them. This Sunday all 7 of them that live at that house came to church. And Allen found out that her best zumba buddy is a member haha! The Lord is with us. 

Anyways it's transfer day again. Sister Dansie and I are staying together. We're super excited for the harvest this transfer. April and her son, Fernando, and the Flores family (Allen's family) are all progressing towards baptism this transfer and we're so EXCITED! 

Something funny this week and also kind of extreme. We have this family in our farthest area who have been taught by the missionaries on and off for like 2 years now. They have so much potential and they love the lessons and they read and pray and stuff and believe what we teach is true they just can't get themselves to church on Sunday. So this week we taught a really bold lesson about the importance of keeping the sabbath day holy. So I got two cotton balls and soaked one in rubbing alcohol and said the alcohol was church attendance. The other one we left dry. Then we lit them both on fire and said it was the adversary, sin, and temptation. The soaked cotton ball stays clean and white but the dry one burns and turns black so fast. We asked Vince (the dad) what happened and he said "nasunog siya sa impiyerno" which means "he burnt in hell." Yikes hahah. I think we got the point across though. But they still didn't come to church so we're going to try something different this week hahahah. Maybe we'll pick them up next Sunday. Missionary work is so fun. Don't worry we're like really good friends with Vince. When the people know you love them there's no such thing as 'too bold' :) 


Sister Nanlabi and Sister Zollinger
Sister Nanlabi went home today! I cried like a baby like 6 times. She's a legend and a personal hero. I'm so grateful everyday for all the disciples of Christ I'm surrounded with. Also it's officially the start of my last transfer. That's all I have to say about that though. ANYWHO. I love this work and I know it's an eternal work and a wonder! 

I love you all and I love the Lord. God bless you this week.

Napilas ko sa kasag pero nakaon ko tatlo te lipay gihapon kag namit pa

Fernando came to church again! We were talking to him this week and he said that his baptism is 'for sure!' I'm so excited for him. Also sometimes when we teach him something and he agrees with it he just says 'natural' in English and it's so cute haha. 

We taught him about family sealings and he was really excited he likes the Manila temple and wants to go there he asked if I would come back to go with them it filled my heart. His goal is to go next year for Christmas because that's his birthday. His wife hasn't made it to church with him yet but she keeps saying she really wants to come. This week her boss fell and broke her hip so she went to the hospital in Bacolod with her and couldn't make it back in time. She's making us lunch later though :)

April also came to church again! We talked yesterday about moving her baptism up a week so she can get baptized on her dads birthday. Her son Evo 'Jay-Z' is getting baptized with her and he's really excited too :) This week we taught her about temples and family history work and she was super excited and starting planning how it would all work and who could watch her baby while she goes. She's the best :) 

This week we watched the Restoration video with Daren and it really helped build her testimony that Joseph Smith was a prophet. She said she knows she needs to act for herself to find the truth and she knows she needs to come to church to really know. She had a baptism date last transfer but hasn't been progressing so we're just trying to focus on helping her understand the importance of commitments and doing an experiment upon the word. She's fun to teach. 

I forgot my planner at home and I'm kind of brain dead lately so that's all I can really remember right now. I'm so happy to be a missionary. I can feel the end is near because I'm so physically exhausted I feel like a big bag of old lady bones all the time but all is well. I told sister Dansie yesterday I'm either full speed or no speed at all hahah. RIP.


I love you all

Sister Zollinger

"Ara sila sa barko kag dulum bay kag hambal ni Brother of Jared 'Te paano kami bi?'"

(Rough translation:"They were in the boat and the Brother of Jared was abusive and said "How are we?")









HELLO! 

This week was another marvelous week! 

We had zone conference this Wednesday and we focused on just being smarter in the way we proselyte and trying not focus on following up with the people we find instead of just finding hundreds of people and not being able to return to all of them to teach. Also Sister Nanlabi bore her going home testimony and that was so happy but so sad! I'm so grateful for the eternal friends I've made here in the mission field and I also wish plane tickets to the Philippines weren't so expensive. 

This Thursday I had exchanges with Sister Regacho! It was super nice honestly not the be the STL and to be the one getting helped I've really missed that. 

This week I've been focusing on being super bold with love. Being so plain and simple that the people we're teaching will know exactly what they need to do and how they can be blessed and it's bringing really amazing results we have some people we're teaching that have been being taught for a really really long time and they're finally starting to act and to realize the importance and the blessings of living the gospel. A lot of people here have a concern about coming to work because it means they won't be able to work and the Book of Mormon is the hero like always we've been using.
 
3 Nephi 13:31-33 
"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you".
It's been really effective I love the Book of Mormon so much. The word of God has so much power to help us change our natures. I know that if we put the Lord first He really will take care of everything else. 

Fernando came to church this Sunday! For real this time! He
was still super early but this time but he actually came in and he loved church! He's always following up with us and asking when his baptism is. Also we're starting to teach his wife now too and she's also so receptive! 

This week we had so many members come out and work with us and all of them are returned missionaries and the spirit is so strong with them and they're also really bold with love. 


Love you all !! 

Sister Zollinger 

PS. Anything it takes to help!!!


So Tatay Fernando is learning to live the word of wisdom right now and the other day we had an appointment with him and his wife and when we got there his wife wasn't home yet so we waited for a minute or two and then she came home with the groceries and she has a bottle of rum and I said Nay why do you have that who is it for and she said its for your tatay and I said no he can't drink that its not allowed for him and she said oh really! and I said yeah how much did it cost and she said 25 pesos (50 cents) so I said okay I'll buy it! and so i bought the rum from her and then poured it in the bushes and tatay fernando was laughing the whole time he was happy it was wonderful. And that's the story of how i bought alcohol so that Fernando wouldn't drink

Bongga ka day!


THE LORD IS WITH US! This week was miraculous.

On Tuesday we had the first ever all sisters district council and it was the BEST! We talked about so many ways to help all of our areas. Plus the sisters in the house right now are either about to go home or brand new so we have some really good missionary fire and miracles happen in all 3 areas!!! 
Sister Nanlabi- 17 months
Sister Regacho- 16 months
Sister Zollinger- 16 months
Sister Robertson- 14 months
Sister De La Cruz- 2 months
Sister Dansie- 2 months (3 weeks in field) 


Tatay Ellisio's bike broke on the way to church yesterday so he didn't make it. That was so sad

And then Tatay Fernando WALKED to the church cane and everything but he got there an hour early and then left like 5 minutes before we showed up because he thought we werent coming. AGGHHH so sad! We got to teach him and his wife last night though and two returned missionary sisters came with us and we had the best lesson ever with them. It was the first time we got to teach his wife and we found out she was coming to church back in the 1990s but never got baptized or anything because she moved to Manila for a while but she really wants to come again! Also Tatay Fernando really wants to get baptized his goal is for September 28. They both committed to come to church next week. Tatay Fernando kept saying yeah of course ill come I wanted to come earlier and you never showed up! haha oh my goodness it was so funny and also so painful haha. We're bringing them Jollibee later as a peace offering. I think I'm going to adopt Fernando as my grandfather or best friend or son i don't know what yet I just love him so. 

We're teaching April too right now she's been being taught for a LONG time. Two of her kids are members and so is her dad. She's like 32 now and has 5 kids. But after so much time and so many missionaries she CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!! Yippee!! Plus we extended a baptism invitation to her and her other son who's not a member yet and they both accepted! So happy for them. 

Also we're teaching the 2nd counselor in the branch presidencies nephew and he came to church for the first time yesterday too. It was a wonderful day. 


There was about 5 hours on Saturday that Sister Dansie and I were just punted (No lessons no contacts nothing) Like we went to every person we knew in three different neighborhoods and talked to all the people outside in the road and NO ONE wanted to see or talk to us. I got pretty desperate and even though it was already dark I started tracting haha nothing came of any of it. And we had a set appointment for 8pm and when we got there we found out they had gone to Bacolod. The important thing that day was that we didn't give up!!! I did sit down on the road in the middle of nowhere once to pray though but we kept going all day and were so blessed for it on Sunday! Heavenly Father just opened the heavens and poured out love and blessings. 


We had the best missionary meeting after church on Sunday and we have a schedule with all the returned or preparing missionaries to work with us for about 2 or 3 hours every day this week and I'm so excited. We started yesterday and have already seen miralces from it. They know so many more people than we do and have greater access to their hearts and trust. So stay tuned more miracles are coming! 

Okay last one. We taught the Flores family this week. One of them is Adona she's 24 and has three little kids. We asked if anyone had any questions at the end of the lesson and Adona asked why we need to pray to be able to understand the word of God. Then she shared two experiences with us- first one time she was reading the bible and none of it made any sense to her and then she prayed and asked God to help her understand and then she read again and it was all so clear to her and she said her understanding was so deep and she couldn't even explain how! Then one time she was home alone with her three babies and there was a crazy storm outside and they were nervous and crying and she was nervous and crying so she prayed and immediately felt calm. I shared with her 1 Nephi  15:8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?
 
then we talked about how Heavenly Father has so many blessings and knowledge waiting for us but He needs us to show our faith and ask him because if it was just automatic it wouldn't mean anything to us. She's so cool I'm excited to keep teaching their family we just met them this week.  

Anyways Sister Dansie is super good at Ilonggo I'm such a proud mom. She can teach all of lesson 1 and lesson 2 and this week we'll work on the commandments and then come back for lesson 3. She's the best so hopeful and happy to try anything.
