Mission life is not perfect but truly you'll learn a lot

Last Saturday, we had a baptism of Sis. Jecel De Guzman, an 11 year-old part member. She was confirmed on Sunday. We truly witnessed her progress and how firm is her faith though she's still young. She goes to church with her nephews on their own, rain or shine, even without fare. She also has a lot of friends already in the Church. We had four investigators who came to Church last Sunday. All of them had already a great testimony as we continue to teach and strengthen them for their upcoming baptism on December. The one strives to stop his smoking though he's struggling since he's a chain-smoker, we witnessed his progressed for a day that he haven't smoked and we continue to read the Book of Mormon with him.

My new companion is Sister Racal and she's great too. I love how she showed love and care for the people we met. At first, I felt slightly thrilled in leading the area but now I know that there's nothing to be afraid of since this is God's work and we just need to rely on the Spirit.

The ward helped us in the baptism of Sis. Jecel. The fellowshipping is strong as well as the support of the auxiliaries. Some of them planned to worked with us this coming week. We're busy by the way sa Choir Practice sa ward para sa upcoming Christmas Missionary Night on Dec. 9 pati lat sa mga missionaries na choir... ako pianist.. nakakapagod so I need to take vitamins para iwas sakit but I love what I'm doing kaya during practice di ko nafefeel ang sakit sa katawan.. hehe...

We had a baptism supposed to be of Bro. Rommel De Guzman but due to his work conflict, it was postponed. We haven't met him yet since he's staying in the place where he worked. We'll strive to visit and meet him on his available time to work out his testimony as well as his willingness to sacrifice something for his spiritual salvation. We felt a bit disappointed but I felt positive that God has a right timing for him and as missionaries, we're here to help him resolve his concerns. He already has a testimony but from what happened, it's still shaky but I know someday he'll be prepared since the word has already been planted in his heart.

Mission life is not perfect but truly you'll learn a lot.
