hi!!!!! GENERAL CONFERENCE CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!!!!! ISNT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST SOOO GOOD! WE GET TO BE DISCIPLES OF THE SAVIOR AND REMEMBER HIM NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD AND OUR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES US SO MUCH AND REALLY JUST ANTS US TO RETURN TO HIM THROUGH OUR COVENANTS AND IT WAS JUST PURE JOY TO LISTEN TO THEIR WORDS AHHHHH okay seriously I am so grateful for modern day revelation and invite all of you to listen and continue to apply their words because ah it will change our lives! Also when they announced the new temples I just cried ahhhh BACOLOD all of the wonderful people we love so much in Old Escalante will be sooo close!!!!! this might be so long but heres the scoop I am with SISTER ZOLETA she is wonderful!!!! and teaching me Tagalog and she could be a professional chef for reals, but she loves the gospel and we are just trying our best here in Busay and MIRACLES SERIOUSLY HAPPENED THIS WEEK!!!! we have been praying so hard for finding new people and I know so many prayers have been offered too for us here in Busay and here are just some of the miracles that happened (but also you might see the reoccuring theme of getting punted a lot but often times thats when miracles happen)
Sister Leah!!! We were walking somewhere we had never been before and saw like no one so we started looking for just people anywhere and saw someone inside a house and ran and sister leah started talking to us and let us in and we taught about our families and God's love and thought that was it but we asked if she had anything to share and she told of how life was hard and so many hard things had happened as in kalisod gud and she had never told others about it but felt like we could help and she just desired relief and this is the gospel this gives true peace and joy so this is the right place yes!!!
Sister Maryvic!!! We saw her like 4 times in one day and finally stopped to talk to her and her husband had been given a Book of Mormon before and she constantly saw it in the house and kept looking at it and had an overwhelming feeling she needed to read it but she hadn't done it yet. She then recognized that maybe this was a sign from God that is was her time to read, and we asked her to chose a question of the soul, and she wanted to learn about baptism and the proper way (and she said she felt guided for some reason to read that one) and then as we returned on Sunday to her home, she opened up that she had a dream before that two people from a different religion came to her house and realized that we were the ones she saw in her dream ahhhh we are sooo excited to keep teaching her the gospel!!!
Sister Menerba!!! We were unsure where to go when she let us in her house and described how a couple of months ago she never would have let us in but her life had changed and she had realized that God did love her and prayers can be answered and she was soo ready to receive a Book of Mormon and just wants to give her testimony in sacrament meeting because its so powerful
Delima Pamilya!!! None of the people we planned to visit were home and we had no idea what to do next and we prayed and still just weren't sure but we started talking to a man when we saw a woman and for some reason we just started running after her and she asked us why but we just kept following her even as she was turning so fast around corners and then she is a member diay that hasn't been to church in so many years but we were able to teach from the Book of Mormon and they felt the Spirit again!!!
I testify of the immediate goodness of our loving Heavenly Father! He has a plan for EACH of us and wants us to feel guided and to feel His love, amidst our trials or getting punted or our shortcomings and ALWAYS gives us another chance! Ah we are so excited to keep returning to these new people we have met and also to keep learing.
We represent the Savior in ALL places whether private or public, island or sea, bukid or city; This gospel really is a lifestyle and not just something we remember on Sundays or use when we want to feel good; this is a constant remembrance of our covenants and the Atonement of Christ and truly receiving His name on our hearts AND IT CHANGES US GUD!!! I feel so blessed to be here and oh how I love the Philippines and unlimited rice and the gospel gud I love you all!!!
