Mosiah 16:8 Came to my mind

Okay you know how we always say the gospel is so real or Christ really was resurrected or we need to read our scriptures and say our prayers? So almost 1 year ago to the day i was in the mtc trying to memorize Mosiah 16:8 in bisaya and it was soo hard i kept returning to the same words over and over and couldn't remember them and it definitely never got perfect but i just loved the words ang kahapdos sa kamatayon gutuhop diha kang kristo (the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ) 

 Fast forward here we are in Busay a year later when sister Zoleta and i got a call that a sibling of a member had passed away and the ward had offered to do a funeral service. We agreed to join and thought we would just be attending but as it started they asked me to get up and speak. I had never met the wife or family of the man who had passed away and i disnt even have a bisaya book of mormom because we had already given it away so as i stood and the words of Mosiah 16 filled my mouth i had the most unexplainable feeling of yow REAL this is!!! 

The gospel is real and the resurrection is real and its somehing ive said and believed but just to feel it in that moment across the world and facing a crying family while icried with them i felt it. We always say the sunday school answers that we need to try and read and have faith but in moments where it comes to it, we have to ask ourselves if we really truly believe and know and ah I KNOW IT! It's not just something we say to feel good, its the truth! Its what gives hope when we think our world has fallen apart or when we think we cant get punted by one more house.

 The new nativity video available on www.churchofjesuschrist.org
  I invite you to go watch it.       It shows the wise men kneeling at the feet of our Savior at such a young age and i know they kneeled and worshipped because he is our savior and redeemer.

 Brother isagani continues in his desire to change through the atonement and despite peer pressure is saying no to things he shouldn't do or drink and says he feels strong. Also luz and victor i feel like they are some of my many parents here and they are such busy people he is building a house by himself  but we are still trying to invite and visit them lots. Im so sory im so bad at writing sa english also matag semana but I LOVE BEING A MISSIO ARY !okay have a Good week love you all!!!!
