New Area-Bislig1st branch/ New Companion-Sister Villaflores

Last week, transfer week is a great opportunity to discover more of what Heavenly Father has taught me from my last area as well as from my last companions. There is truly a great adjustment for me but setting aside myself there is truly great adjustments as well to the recent converts, members as well as the investigators to meet a new missionary again so I strive to build relationship and trust to them which in turn has a positive result. I learn to love and care for them in a short span of time, knowing their needs and concerns as well as in helping them build their own testimonies with the help of my companion as well as through the guidance of the Holy Ghost. 

Sister Villaflores, being me as her 1st senior companion, is so sweet, loving and welcoming. Just after her training, she can right away lead their area with a strong heart and wise use of time. She makes me feel comfortable and understood my physical and emotional reactions in my adjustment to the new environment. She strives as well to be exactly obedient which in turn makes our companionship more united. During our studies, I had some suggestions to make our work more effective from the things I've learned before and positively, without hesitation, she willingly desired to make it a goal as well to help us and our area.

We had a missionary coordination meeting last Sunday. Though, few ward missionaries had attended, the branch mission leader is active to perform his calling as well as to coordinate in this work. There is one ward missionary whom we immediately set a day for work and she affirmatively respond to it. We'll strive to be united with the members as well as the auxiliary leaders in fellow shipping our recent converts, less active as well as the investigators. The members here are welcoming as well. We'll strive to build their trust and understand their situations.

 Though, I still have a somewhat "area-&-environment-shock" (physical and emotional aspect) but I know gradually I can adjust. I need to be used of the adjustments that is, will and may happen since these can help me to stretch myself from my potential that Heavenly Father has entrusted unto me. 

Nabalhin na am mission president naghaya jud ko..... yana si President Pagaduan temporarily pero mabalhin pa cya kay one of the area seventy kasi siya so may ibubutang gud na bag o..... emergency kasi family and personal reasons nila President Santillan... nakakamiss sila ni Sister Santillan...pero I know may plano si Heavenly Father..
