Kumusta po kayo! Maraming Greetings to Lahat!
This week I have noticed that my progress in Tagolog has
 gone like this ( Ganito) The First Sunday I bored my
testimony in church basically then I was like the 5 year
old that gets up with mom who has to whisper everything
 in my ear and pretty much all I can say without thinking
 about it is i know that the church is true. However
Saturday night around 9 pm my Kasama casually mentioned
that Oh by the way we are the only speakers tomorrow in
 church. So we'll talk about Missionary work. We'll first
 of little warning for whats sure to be more than a
 5 minuet talk and second of Talk about missionary work.
 I don't know a single tagalog word for that. I don't know
 how to talk about missionary work I just do it! Any ways
 as it turns out I was able to think of a few things and I
used a pretty long pretty amazing quote from Brigham Young
 and so My progression has brought me to the point that I
 am now a bit like the youth speaker who has to read most
 of the talk from notes but gets through it okay and bears
 a really good testimony from the heart. Sanna Magging
katulad ni Tunay na Tunay Missionary soon! ( hopefully I'll
 sound like a real philippino missionary soon!) I got loads
 of compliments though because after all I'm still a newbie
 only a month old, but it doesn't take a month for an amazing
 experience to happen those come along really every day.
One lesson in particular sticks out we were teaching a
sister who's son is an RM but the only member of the
 family and he lives far away so she already knew much
 about our church though and the message of the restored
gospel. We started out asking her if she had any questions
 about the church and as if out of a text book she asked
 me . Well how do I know if these things that you are
 teaching are true. I took her to Alma 32 12 and started
 with the need for faith and what that meant and then
used my secret weapon of an object lesson. As she read
 the scriptures I bent down and grabbed a small stone
 without her noticing. I then asked her to close her
eyes and feel inside my hand. Asked her what was in it.
 A stone she said and when given permission opened her
 eyes to find she was right of course. Then I said to
 her sister how did you know that I had a stone. You did
 not see it before now you did not open your eyes did you?
 No. she said I knew it because I could feel it! She got
 this strait away, and I said to her you see now don't
you sister. We know things our true we know they are
from God because of how we feel. When we receive truth
 from God we feel good. I testified to her that I knew
 God has given us all the capacity to know for ourselves
 good from evil. We then reviewed the message of the
 Restoration and committed her to pray about Joseph
 Smith. I have high hopes for her, high hopes for all
 who are willing to receive us and feel in their hearts
 the spirit of god changing their lives!
Mahal na Mahal Ko Kayo,
Ingat sa Lahat!
