We had a successful baptism of Eric Ben Alba Fajardo last Saturday and he was confirmed on Sunday. We have a spiritual experience as well since many of his nonmember friends attended and witnessed this special day of his life. One of our progressing investigators as well Sister Jessa Cairlang attended the baptism and shared that her desire increases to be part of Heavenly Father's fold. She came as well on Sunday on her own since we are supposed to get her but she declined. She wanted to come to Church on her own and prove her faith in Jesus Christ. Sheny Subasus, Rose Ann and Rosemy Bayker also came in their 2nd consecutive Sundays to church. The young women leaders shared how they gradually change from last Sunday since they still have a reverence issue. But with the coordination of the branch, they saw great potentials on these young women. We focused on strengthening the investigators last week by helping them feast upon the words of Christ by appreciating the Book of Mormon and truly this holy book is one of the resources of one's conversion as we witnessed the progression in keeping the commitments among the investigators we taught. More referrals also came last week and we're looking forward to have a returned appointment this week with them based on their available times together with the members during the lessons.
Our companionship last week was spiritually focused on our studies as we shared and opened up our concerns to make our work more effective as the Spirit directs us. Sister Custodio is striving her best to help me from my weaknesses and I'm so glad that she is my companion during these days of challenges. We always expressed our love, support and care to each other and have a great relationship with the members of the branch as we strive to build relationship of trust to all of them in coordinating with this work in building up the Church and strengthening the branch.
We had a successful missionary coordination meeting with our new Branch Mission Leader and we witnessed his great support with us in missionary work. Our previous Branch Mission Leader is helping him to enjoy and love this calling while continuously supporting us in the goals we made to handle and manage the area wisely.
I love how optimism (with faith, hope and charity) affects our attitude towards this marvelous work. We will strive to explore more of our areas, find more by making use of member referrals and follow the counsel of our leaders so we will be safe as well as guided by the Spirit.
