PRAY THAT WE FIND A SOLID FAMILY! -WEEK 50

HEYOO FAM AND FRIENDS! 

So this week was one of the new transfer and there were a lot of changes to our district well not a lot but half cause there's only 8 of us! But the 4 sisters got pulled out and 4 new ones came in! So that was pretty hard for them this week! But us.... we were just working like normal, besides when the sisters needed help then we would have to help them, but it was fine.. we had a lot of time to work!

SO like last week we were working with our progressing investigators sister Loribell and the Peranca family and Loribell is doing great! We are gonna visit her everyday this week because she is hopefully gonna be baptized on the last Saturday of July!! Yess!!  She is soo great she is like always into the lessons and wants to learn and then goes to like the activities that all the young single adult members go to!! I'm wayy excited!  The Peranca's actually didn't attend this week... we went to the house to invite them and they weren't there... but we'll go over there tomorrow and straighten that up hahaha! 

But other than that we have just been focusing our work on families, so we are gonna focus on finding families and completing part member families. So we are just gonna look for some families this week hehe!  I'll let you know how it goes. Pray that we find a solid family!! 

Sorry this is short but GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!! 

I have a lil spiritual thought and a question for you guys!  The question is an argument we've been having!  Did Jesus have a body when he created the earth? Or before he was born?? All answers would be appreciated hehe or thoughts!

And then for the spritual part, comes from a verse in the Book of Mormon! 3 Nephi 12:48 Jesus says to the Nephites "I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven in perfect."  k now think about what things are keeping you from being perfect.... did you find alot?? k now get on your knees and pray for those weaknesses to be come strengths (Ether 12:27)  Then start your journey of perfection!!  Something I was thinking about yesterday and I'm gonna do it later tonight! 

MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA!! PAGDAGOS LANG KAYO!!

"the one is my boy elder puyong who is a straight g he's dropping the hottest album in 2016 as you can see from the pic!" 

 "And if men come unto me I will

show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."   Ether 12:27      

#EveryMemberAMissionary -WEEK 49

YOOO WHAT UP FAM AND FRIENDS!! I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July!! No one blew up their arm right?? I bet Marqus and Brady did... 

Well we had a pretty great 4th hahaha we had a zone activity so ya that was fun. Sadly I didn't bring my wardrobe of American flag apparel so I just had to wear normal clothes... but I still remembered America in my heart!! And I'm happy to say that America was represented well early this morning as me and Elder Pullicar took on two pinoys in a nice game of 2 on 2 basketball and we wrecked them!! #MERICA!! 

But like other than showing pinoys how us Americans roll we actually did some spiritual stuff and worked haha!! This week was actually a great week! So of course we have been working with Loribell one of our progressing investigators and actually we only got 1 lesson last week cause she was busy, but we got to teach her with her mom who was visiting!! She wasn't interested buttt Loribell still is and she attended church this week!! THEN ON WEDNESDAY we had a member give us a referral of a family that used to be taught but idk what happened cause they're golden investigators! So we went there, and taught the first lesson and they knew all the answers like better than some members do!! haha and We taught them twice and then they attended church on Sunday too!! There is 3 of them that came to church! The oldest sister Kristina and the brother Jomel and sister Kyla!! We're gonna start working with them alot, because they said they've been to church like 20 times, but never got baptized, soo we'll see what the problem was there!! 

I LOVE YOU GUYS ALL!  JUST KEEP DOING WHAT WE DO AS MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AND BECOME A LIGHT UNTO THE WORLD!!  I read that the best missionary work a member can do is show their faith by the choices they make!! 

"Live your life so that those who don't know Him but know you will come to know Him because of you"  TROOF!! #EveryMemberAMissionary

(left at home, but always loved)

I'm trying to be like Jesus;

I'm following in his ways.

I'm trying to love as he did,

in all that I do and say.

At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,

But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

"Love one another as Jesus love you.

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

For these are the things Jesus taught."

NAVY MEDICAL MISSION -WEEK 48

Sooooo this week started out pretty dang cool! So Tuesday and Wednesday we got to be interpreters for the Americans from the Navy hahaha which was soooo cool! We just like sat and translated everything they were saying like both ways haha! So on Tuesday I was in optometry working on eyes. All they were doing was just checking their eyes then giving them glasses for reading or seeing better! So we just like talked to them about what the problem was and then ya they got some glasses and left haha but it was wayy cool having a ton of Americans around me hahaha soooo much English!!!! Then on Wednesday we went back and we helped in just general medical so we were helping them find out what the pain was on their body and then helped them find out how to fix it!! So that was a cool start to the week! Then after that it was just normal work.  

We have been working with our progressing investigator Loribell trying to get her to know for herself that our message is true and she went to institute on Saturday with a member ....but didn't come on Sunday... because there was a lot of rain and her umbrella was broken!! welp that was a heart breaker... but luckily one of our members brought his sister to church who is a non member! I didn't even know she wasn't, and she's been coming to church the last 2 weeks and sat behind us and I was always giving them candy so now were tight and maybe we can teach them!! hahahha

But like that's all that happened this week!! I love you all and hope you guys just keep living life to the fullest never let a moment go by without making the most of it!
