In the previous week, we strive to apply the new mission culture and it helps us to make use more of our time and proselyting area wisely. Nourishing our progressing investigators and at the same time finding new potential ones is a bit challenging but at the end of the day by relying on the Spirit, we made it through everyday. Even if two of our potential progressing investigators namely McAirDave (23) and Denmar (8) have already been dropped due to changing of his residence and the other is that he's still not ready to keep commitments, two new progressing investigators was added namely: Rubelyn (32) and Angel (19), both of them lived in a cohabitation but already set date for their civil marriages. It's their second time to come to church last Sunday since they had attended the general conference. We already met their husbands and they are also humble and receptive in accepting the gospel. We're just gonna strive to meet them at their available times since they drove tricycle for their family living. Eric Ben Fajardo (12) is truly progressing that even if his friend who is a recent convert (Ryzen Abad) had not come to church, he still came and brought with him new friend who we have already taught (Joey Figaro). He came to church for the 4th time but since his lesson is not yet finished due to his availability and we haven't had a written consent with his parents whom we already met and was very supportive with their child's desire, we're going to extend his baptismal date to May 12, 2018. We'll strive as well to bring their whole family to the restored truth since his parents had already had background about the church (Eric Ben's grandfather Alfonso Alba was a Mormon but was dead already). Sister Leah Sacaban always come to church with her family but only on sacrament meetings. We'll strive to strengthen her and her husband to appreciate more in observing the Sabbath Day by attending the whole meetings. We met new potential investigators who lived in Purok 3 Caramcam, since their relative Bro. Logronio who visited them took them to the church last Sunday and we already set date to visit them on Tuesday. We experienced miracles and opportunities these past week that strengthen us not to give up on God's children though some may lapse on keeping their commitments yet again came back and never give up from keeping God's promises in their lives that someday they can live a happy life with their families forever.
Sister Villaflores is great in her faith and optimism that every time we experienced difficulties, she never gave up on strengthening and teaching God's children by the Spirit. Setting a higher standard of excellence is a great way for us to stretch ourselves and rely on the Spirit everyday. I saw her conviction and love for this great work though she sometimes felt that she will be transferred, she always showed the same refreshed and active sense of commitment everyday. I love her and her great example because it is truly contagious.
We just had our missionary coordination meeting with our branch mission leader and branch missionaries and we saw the great effect of us reporting to them about the fellow shipping for the investigators last Sunday and truly everyone in the branch family is working hard to strengthen and make everybody welcome in the branch. We're looking forward for the progression of the investigators through the next weeks for them to be ready to make sacred ordinances with the support of the members. Many of the branch missionaries worked with us last week and they truly are a great help.
