Last week is a great time for us to have return appointments from the investigators we've visited and found in the previous week. Some raise up their concerns and some are not available that's why we strive to find more of Heavenly Father's children scattered Israel. We're so grateful to focus on families. Two families (Godinez and Agan Family) of them were former investigators who truly want to listen to the restored gospel, it's just that because of their temporal concerns that they can't fully keep their commitments even before but we know that they are one of those prepared for this season since they still felt the spirit and happiness of the gospel to their lives. Sister Carvina Antonio (one of our P.Is.) is truly progressing and we're very blessed that as she shared how she felt in keeping the commitments, her doubts gradually lessened though still she's in the process of investigating more by relying on the Holy Ghost. Saivon Tiongco as well enjoyed coming to church with his grandmother as he strive to keep the commitments even without his siblings whom we've extended as well baptismal dates. We saw his humility and we know he'll be an instrument in bringing his family to the restored truth. I already involve Sister Peralta in every teaching situations and every time she opened her mouth, I truly felt the Spirit in her. She always rely on the Spirit based on the concerns of the investigators. Though she is still struggling with the language which she is eager to learn rapidly (that's why she's using the new words she learned from the native language always), I can see her fast progression in talking with everyone. We haven't explored all of our areas yet but we're excited and blessed that the members are ready to help us in building up the branch. 

On the other hand, the other trainees Sister Talactac and Sister Cinco are also progressing well in learning the language and in applying the principles they learned from their trainers. They have good relationship and they're learning much not only on matters about their learning on missionary work as well as on household chores that they can apply after mission life. Regarding Sister Talactac and Sister Dela Serna, we planned to find new apartment for them so they can use their time and money wisely since their area is so far from our apartment and they are in the other branch (Mati 2nd) and our apartment as well is convenient for two companionship only but we already raised this matter to the leaders and they are ready to support us to find new apartment for them.

We just had a Missionary Coordination Meeting last Sunday and reporting our work and concerns, we witnessed how supportive the branch mission leader is and the members in doing missionary work as well as in fellowshipping the investigators.

Love,

Sister Cornillez
