In the previous week, we had a wonderful time strengthening the progressing people we continuously taught and returning from the people we've met from last last week. We saw great potentials among them particularly on families. The progressing people we've taught are Sister Carvina Antonio(27 y/o) who's continuously nourishing and strengthening her testimony with the Book of Mormon study. She's still undergoing doubts and felt under pressure regarding her baptismal date though she's coming to Church for even 2 months already but we gave her a challenge to replace her fears with her faith in Jesus Christ and we felt the Spirit during discussions and she committed to do it. Bro. Alberto Dela Cerna(88 y/o) progressively met new friends in the Church as he enjoyed the Sabbath Day service. He still has struggles in understanding the lessons due to his age but as the Spirit directs, we strive to simplify the discussions. The Godinez sisters namely, Maribel, Amery and Angelou Rose continuously enjoyed coming to Church and meeting new friends in young women organization. We saw how supportive as well their mother is since she wanted them to become a member of the Church but due to financial constraints that they can't come consistently. 

On the other hand, I witnessed continuously Sister Peralta's progression as she is now in her Week 6 of training. I challenged her to improve her Building Relationship of Trust Skill not only to improve this skill but at the same time apply the mission language and she's improving at it. She's progressing and her teaching skills is improving how she apply the Christlike attributes as well in teaching the lesson based on the needs of the people we're teaching. She's great already at finding and to elevate this experience, we will have a goal to talk with everyone regardless of their status and not be afraid of rejections. She has the heart of a diligent missionary having a goal in mind everyday not to go home unless we're tired yet happy.

We check the apartments of the missionaries and the new apartments of the missionaries that will move. Everyone is in good condition and the apartment as well is Spirit-inviting. We see to it as well that the apartments that other missionaries will stay in will have the same condition as the others. 

Every companionship among the sisters in our zone is united as we followed up on them as we continue to train well and facilitate in the learning of our trainees. 

We had a Missionary Coordination Meeting last Sunday and we raise up concerns regarding how the branch council will and can coordinate to strengthen the progressing people we're teaching. Some of the branch missionaries and auxiliary leaders were also present and open up concerns to help us be united with the branch goals as we shared to them the baptismal goal of the branch, how effective are member referrals and concerning child of record matters which is the branch's responsibility and affirmatively, they said that they will open this up on our upcoming Branch Council Meeting for the next month.

Sister Cornillez
