Sorry I did not get the last blog post up last week but it is posted

has an amazing story to tell. Here's her lasted posting. Mom Quinn

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
