Kumusta Po Kayo Ang Aking Pamiliya at Masang Arawal Ng Mga
Nannay (Happy day of Mother's in Tagalog),
Glad to hear the voice's of family this week. Always the voice of
reason and comfort. I am thankful for all your advice and Love.
I would like to share this week about
The great progress we've been having with sort of broken
family we are teaching who have a 19 year old son in the
house. We always teach with his mother (Sister Rosario Casino)
present and the spirit is amazing you can tell the son (Brother Junior)
has had a rough past but that he really wants to change and when
we came this week to teach them about Baptisim to he shared
with us that he'd had a dream where he'd seen himself being
baptized in the same way we showed of how Christ was baptized
by John the baptist. When we showed him our picture of Christ's
baptism he said that this was just like what he'd seen in his
dream and a great spirit entered the room. We are very
excited that he attended church this week along with his sister,
his mother and her live in companion (Brother Vale) did not
come along but Sister Rosario was very obviously ashamed when
we came to teach them later on Sunday night we could tell she
was disappointed she had not attended. She is promising she
will come next week. Her son shared with her about how he
felt a wonderful spirit as we toured the church building with
him because he was early for church! Sister Soriano and I are
so excited for this family especially excited to see how excited
and anxious brother Junior is to be a Priesthood holder. I cannot
say how rewarding it is to see the lives of others change as
their knowledge and testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ
grows! I am seeing the same in my self more and more each
day as well. This week in my personal study I've started to
study the New Testament! I'm so excited about it about
learning more of Christ’s own apostle’s personal account
of his life. I discovered in the missionary apartment a very
old but exciting manual entitled The life of Jesus Christ and
his Apostles which I’ve begun to read along side my study
of the new testament and I am really loving learning more
about my savior he is becoming more personal to me every
day. I have not abandoned my study of the Book of Mormon
by any means though and in fact since I have finished a whole
reading of the Book of Mormon in English I've decided a new
approach that has opened the scriptures up to me in a whole new
way. I have begun to read a chapter of Ang Aklat Ni Mormon
sa Tagalog every night before I fall asleep. I am blessed by the
lord with the gift of tongues enough now that I can really grasp
what I read from Ang Aklat Ni Mormon. I have a goal to read
the whole of it before the end of my mission and to mark it up
with highlighter like I have seen all of my Filipino companions
with their own personal investigator copy's. I can see that I
will be a great tool as I continue to study it I can find verses
the verses that clearly explain the doctrine best in Tagalog.
I’m excited every night to read! and I know the book is true
no matter what language it is in. Totoo ANG SIMBAHAN,
Totoo ANG AKLAT NI MORMON, Totoo Siya!
Mahal Na Mahal Ko Kayo,
Mag-Miss Ko po Kayo,
Sister Quinn
