We had a challenging week last week. These includes the training, health of the missionaries, finding of new apartment, and meeting some of the members. We polished with my companion of those who have been extended baptismal dates and some of them won't progress. We'll strive this week to recover and truly find those whom the Lord has prepared in this season. We're happy to hear that the Relief Society Organization particularly the Presidency plead with the members to coordinate in missionary work with us by giving some referrals as well to be active in ministering. We're glad to see Tatay Herminio Durias and Sister Merle came back to Church last Sunday whom they have considered less active. We'll gradually seek the less active from the member's list since we've discovered as well that there are lots of them who have part members. Though some of them are telling us that "lots of missionaries had already taught or meet, even invite their family members who have not yet received the gospel, as we ministered and nourish them with God's word, we give them hope that this is God's work and nothing is impossible through our fasting and prayer together with them and their increased faith. We are so happy that their unrealized hopes bring into activeness again. We'll strive as well to find more of the scattered Israel in this consecrated area particularly applying the said "Teach when you find, and find when you teach" even to nonmembers. Right now, President, we set goals for us to use our time wisely and explore more of the areas we have not yet explored due unexpected sickness my companion had experienced. I'll strive as well not to pressure her much in the training but encourage her that she may be able to increase her faith and take care of her health that hardship is part of stretching and improving and I'll strive to set a good example to her to teach people according to their needs. We can't go out earlier than we've planned to and it's been a routine everyday. I felt sad again yet I talk with Heavenly Father to help our companionship that we may be able to respect the time of the Lord but not running faster than we are able to, I'm comforted and I have great hopes that we are truly called of God to strengthen and blessed Taft Branch as well as the prospective covenant-keepers of the Lord.
I know that the Lord has prepared lots of opportunities of learning here as an investment of my future life.
I love you all!!!
Love, the matured Sister Cornillez
