Last week was a great opportunity for my new companion, Sister Custodio, to meet the amazing area where we are assigned. We're blessed that Eric Ben Fajardo (12) has continuously been keeping his commitments and for the 5th time came to Church. Since his baptism was moved due to the lessons that we still need to teach, he understood the extension and we saw his progression as he continuously invite his friends to come to Church (those who came were Jonathan Apostolado and Jeramil Suarez; both are 12 and we had already taught them but not yet formal) and gain more close friends in the branch. His parents as well were very supportive, though they are not yet ready to accept the gospel, we will not give up on them. Sister Catherine Madelo as well came to church with his father who is a recent convert. Some of our investigators had not come to Church due to unexpected problems in their work, family, and other matters. We saw the great potential of one of our investigators, Jessa Cairlang(20), since she already confirmed last week that she truly want to be baptized but due to oppositions she faced last Sunday from where she is living, she did not come to Church. We visited her right away and shared to us that there is truly trials when you are starting your journey to the path of truth. We're very blessed that she responded from those trials positively. Some of our recent converts, on the other hand, were on vacation, so just a few of them came to Church.

Sister Custodio is such a good, humble and great companion. Though the people here are still adjusting from a new face again, she is very humble and kind to reach out to them that they easily had a comfortable feeling with her. Our companionship is like a new dispensation of new revelations(goals) that faces new challenges with a willing heart and mind. I easily love her from her humility and everything she truly expresses. I'm excited to know her more and be united with the Spirit as we strive to find and strengthen God's scattered Israel.

We had a missionary coordination meeting and we witnessed the support of the branch missionaries and leaders in helping us feel blessed in this new challenge to work in the whole area of Bislig Branch 1. We made plans since most of them has no more schoolwork anymore. We had a successful special sacrament in Danipas as well and had opportunities to make use of our proselyting time there wisely since we need to go home earlier. This is our farthest area. We're very grateful for the trust the members there had given unto us and right away they gave referrals for us to contact on Thursday based on our weekly plan and they are willing to work with us with the set time. 

Being positive matters a lot ..... Bisan dako amon area...every resources God has provided is truly available lalo na yung guidance ng Spirit...

Till nxt mail...Love yah....
