nung nilibre ng ice cream sa 7 eleven nila sister donna and mama lou.....taba ko pa no? hehe

Last week is the week I felt we've worked hard like I never felt before every single day! I decided to let Sister Peralta decide when and where will we go and I'm there to support here and I saw how humble she is and how prompt she acts as the Spirit guides us. Everyday we felt tired going home yet happy. I felt that our companionship study is more meaningful and spiritual and we experienced one circumstance that we're already tired that as we have our companionship study we truly felt how great the Spirit touches our hearts as we shared each other's insights about our studies. Every time we have our companionship study we make sure that we can experience something we can share and inspire the people we will meet for the day and that will be our consistent goal everyday. Regarding the progressing investigators, Sister Carvina Antonio is truly one of the scattered Israel Heavenly Father prepared for us in this consecrated area as we witnessed that she has no more problem in word of wisdom, even in the law of chastity. For her upcoming baptism in August, we always leave something for her to read and focus in the Book of Mormon for the week as she shared how she felt while reading, how her faith elevates and how she see herself change than she was before. Brother Alberto Dela Cerna (88 y/o) met new more friends as he attended the Sabbath Day Services and we witnessed how supportive the members are in every auxiliary in fellow shipping the new faces in the branch. We will strive to teach Tatay Alberto according to what he can understand as the Spirit directs since he can't read. On the other hand, we take two of the daughters of Sister Vilma Godinez, a former investigator, to Church. They are Angelou Rose and Maribel and we're so happy that they invited one of their friends namely Lourey Mae. They shared to us how wonderful is their experience in the classes and in meeting new friends. As we meet them in the afternoon while walking in the street, they called us and told us that they wanted to attend the activity of the Young Women this coming Saturday and will invite their siblings and more of their friends. We're so happy how great is their experience and even the support of their mother as they learn more of the gospel of Jesus Christ and apply it in their lives.

Sister Peralta has improved much as to the language, in talking with everyone, in teaching skills and in other skills as well, and in having the courage to find by the Spirit. She always apply what she had learned and strive to improve it more. She's so humble enough to listen to the promptings of the Spirit.

We had a successful district finding last Saturday and I've worked with Sister Talactac and Sister Cinco in our area. I witnessed how amazing the finding skill of Sister Talactac that she had learned much from her trainer, Sister Dela Serna. Both of these two trainees are improving much as well in their teachings and in learning the native language. They still have fears when it comes to BRT skill but they're so humble enough to apply it and improve it as their training continue. 

We had a Missionary Coordination Meeting last Sunday and we're glad to have the Young Women President as she witnessed how progressing their organization had been. She also suggested activities that can strengthen the member-missionary work and all of us decided to set a specific goal date for the activity. Our branch mission leader as well is ready to help us coordinate with the branch missionaries in doing this work since that has been our concern these past few weeks since most of the branch missionaries are students and their classes had already started. We continuously strengthen and build relationship of trust among the members in the branch as well as in the district as we support them in the choir for the upcoming District Conference. We truly decided to work hard more in our daily proselyting times since some of our time now is planned for the practice in choir. 

There is truly a satisfying fruit if we strive to work more hard, be diligent and act upon the promptings of the Holy Ghost everyday. Praying for your companion as she teaches matters a lot in inviting the Spirit and touching the hearts of the children of God as we taught them despite of our weaknesses and imperfections. Recognizing as well that we're not the only companions but we need to be companion with the Spirit, can help us to have a quality and spiritual time in every person we meet and inspire. How much more in thinking that we are companions with the apostles builds up our courage and confidence more.

Love,

Sister Cornillez
