We have a very challenging week and a week of resolution as well. As we struggled from our work, companionship and training, after much tribulations comes the blessings truly. Before the zone conference, everything has been settled as we strive to seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost and recognize the tender mercies of Christ despite of our weaknesses. We've met more potential people to be nourished and taught as well as families who are less active for a long time and they haven't realized that they are still members of the Church since they have changed religion. We ministered unto them and lifted them up with the message of happiness and we saw potential families to be nourished as we include them in our prayers and we planned to come back to them most of the days in a week. There are potential part members particularly the parents of the less active who softened their hearts as we shared them that families can be together forever. We came back as well to the Badjao Community and we planned to teach them how to read as well as to conduct English class as we saw potential people to receive the gospel in their lives. We discovered that they are open to other religion since some of them already has different religions such as Baptist, Born Again and etc. Our progressing person taught last week has not come to Church due to family problem but he said he'll come again next Sunday. 

Companionship:

Sister Dingcong is progressing thoroughly as she applied the things she'd learned during the zone conference. I saw her diligence and she's not anymore that sickly as I observe her condition not to be exhausted in everything that we do. We always discussed the learning we have during the zone conference as well as the breakthrough we will discover in our companionship and in our work during our companionship study. She's truly humble enough to accept improvement and motivations to go beyond the extra mile and discover her full potential gradually as a daughter of God.

Branch:

We're grateful to meet all the Branch Missionaries last Sunday and we felt gradually that we are earning their trust as we visit one by one, their families and residences and we witnessed their increased desire to share the gospel by applying it first to their lives. 

Personal Message:

 I prayed to Heavenly Father and repented of my shortcomings as well as the lacking faith I have every time I undergo depression. I always kept in mind that it will never happen again. I saw great potentials of my companion as we ministered individually to every member here in Taft Branch that she can manage already the depression she has sometimes undergone. She's so humble enough to seek for the guidance of the Spirit. 

Love,

Sister Cornillez
