Personal and Companionship studies helped us more to be united in this work

We visited and have return appointments among the investigators we found last week and they continuously received our message as well as understood them. There are just some concerns regarding our invitations on coming to Church since some of them have financial problems, others are financially supported by other religions on the school support of their children and other matters as well but during the lessons they understood and realized the message of the Restoration can truly help them in their lives. We will focus this coming week on strengthening their faith as well as helping them gain their own testimonies by reading the Book of Mormon. 

We strive to recover from the day (Tuesday) that we haven't worked since Sis. Racal got sick (gikabuhi). But she's in good condition now and she immediately recovered through rest and medicine. Our personal and companionship studies helped us more to be united in this work by stretching more ourselves in discovering techniques in finding, teaching as well as relying on the promptings of the Spirit in the work. We had an evaluation and realized that we gradually overcame our weaknesses these days by being more open minded with each other and applying the Christlike attributes as companions.

We had a missionary coordination meeting yesterday and we raised concerns about the members who are working with us, the fellow shippers and the home and visiting teachers since the auxiliaries together with the ward missionaries had been busy last week but they said that they will strive to recover from the times they haven't worked with us by visiting as well the recent converts and less active.

We almost have a potentially progressing investigators since they affirmatively confirmed that they will come to Church but they haven't. We'll try to visit them again this week and help them resolve their own concerns with the words of God as well as helping them to experience conversion on their own by keeping their commitments and helping them love to read the Book of Mormon.

love lots,

Last Sunday in her first area? not sure though. haha

Last week, we focused on finding new investigators by the Spirit and made sure that they are not just statistics but individuals whom we can have return appointments. We saw their willingness to learn more of the gospel and they have as well realized the relevance of the gospel to their lives. We have an effective exploration of our areas particularly areas where we can save more money yet more opportunities on families as well as people who have Mormon friends. As we strive to strengthen the less active as well as recent converts, we saw also opportunities to find potential investigators among their family members. 

We have a great companionship teamwork with Sister Racal particularly on goal setting that we strive last week. We saw each other's weaknesses but our companionship studies helped us to be more open-minded and loving with each other. 

We just have a missionary coordination meeting but only the bishopric attended due to conflict in meetings as well as the ward mission leader is not available. During the meeting, we shared the concerns among the fellow shippers of the investigators as well as the recent converts and less active who is somewhat weak in terms of the initiative of seating with them during the meetings. We shared as well their home and visiting teachers concerns and they responded positively to coordinate with us in the next few weeks since most of the leaders are busy these days due to work and school agenda.

Our progressing investigator, Bro. Jerold Don Bagnol, had come back to Manila due to work matters so we will strive to focus on the existing potential progressing investigators that they will keep their commitments and have their testimonies of the restored truth.

Mission life is worth the experience

Annyeong!

Mission life is worth the experience. Every week seems an exciting one. I remember when my trainer told me to never ever set aside humility. It's true that everyone will truly change within 18 months or 2 years.... Every skills in teaching, listening and others will truly improve .... but not everyone will consistently apply the Christlike Attributes... This is what missionaries should remember. #CLA (Christlike attributes) every week doesn't mean one attribute only per week that you will apply but we need to apply all and remember this is God's work and not ours.

I love missionary work! Every blessings I received here feels like I am Nephi...Highly favored of God... so I should not take advantage of the blessings I receive instead be more diligent, be more consistent and be more obedient to this short plan Heavenly Father had given me... :):):)

Love, (Sarang)
