The sweet intes pamilya sooo many miracles and sweet lessons that helped to stregthen their faith and Brother even was offered a job for a whole week doing consturction but declined knowing it wouldnt let him get back for his baptism on saturday. Okay that meant 7 days of no work for his family with 6 tiny children to feed and we prayed gud with them and right after we visited on wednesday someone came by asking if he would do work for 3 days IMMEDIATE BLESSINGS and it doesnt mean it was easy because he still had to tell them he would only work half day on saturday and no work on sunday but he did it and stoof up for what he knew was right even with it being hard and they took a step of faith having no idea where their next meal would come from and they were so happy doing it!!!!
Sweet cherrylan their 8 year old daughters bday was on sunday so we wanted to celebrate after their baptism and we were running around with appointments and meeting people on saturday so when it came time for the baptism we showed up at 4:50 with only a cake in hand and the intes were the only people there with the baptizer, tatay dela cruz. Okay we zoomed trying to set up chairs and call people and hand write a program when within 20 minutes straight miracles happened. The whole branch 2 was having a party in the other room but they all came and filled the whole room, the branch president made it and someone brought a hand drawn baptismal program and people volunteered to be speakers and despite their playful kids running around it got soo quiet when they were getting baptized and BOOM a sweet calm filled the room and thats the holy ghost.
Sister cherrylyn cried as she testified of the truthfulness of this church and how grateful she was for her new life, and brother julan how he changed everything and knew his family could be together forever. Sister nelson has an angelic voice and on the spot sugested we do a musical number (which im pretty sure even without a cold on a good day my voice still shouldnt be compared to sister nelsons) and as we sang i am a child of god and said: "rich blessings are in store" i started laughing put of pure joy and then crying because i saw the biggest light radiating from them and the best biggest blessings really are going to come to them!!!! Everyone started singing to finish the song while i laugh/cried and the whole thing just felt like the atonement of jesus christ. It really was because of Him, that the whole day was able to become more and be enough and be so poweful!!! Pretty sure that was the best cake we have ever eaten
Yesterday sister heimuli and i were together and trying to find a lalaki we had met and we found his dad who is a priest in the catholic church and instantly started asking about church policies and speaking only tagalog and it was incredible that we understood but it just didnt have any impact like wala siya nadulot kay we knew (and know haha) that this church is true and we still felt the spirit and peace and ran into his son again who asked again what time church was because he too felt that spirit yaay!!!
Also on sunday our friend john paul came to church and he only speaks tagalog! Shoutput to all my companions that tried to help me learn but sadly its all gone away and we had an incredible lessons where we understood eachother kind of using english bisaysa and tagalog and he wanted a book of.mormon so bad! THEN at church the whole branch did sunday school in tagalog so he could understand and he even answered about how small things can become great things and after church he looked at us and in english said "i am so happy" ahhh so nindot! He has a busy work schedule but we keep trying to visit him
Other fun things
We found a frog in our house today and finally used plastic bags to help get him out from under the bunk bed
Halo halo, we love it gud its so lami
We met a member who just moved here from balamban and isnt very active but we got to talk to his wife and teach them sitting by a boat on the seashore which i still belive is so magical and just the ocean coming in and out ah it testifies of Heavenly Fathers love and that He is real
I know this is the true restored gosepl and Jesus Christ Himself is leading this church. When we follow Him and He becomes part of our lives it is only natural to talk of Him, remember Him, become like Him, and invite others to do the same. Feel so blessed i still get to do that and learn and become better all the time LOVE YA!!!!
