Details of Accomplishments:
Another challenge has come this week that as we prayed and fasted, it will truly not be easily answered as the children of God are keeping their commitments yet more trials are coming to them as they shared their experiences. One of our progressing person before, Bro. Jone Cubarol(18 y/o) shared that his father is very angry for him to change religion since their family already are not united having his siblings joined from other religions as well. We visited his less active friend (who is now gradually coming back to Church) and he shared to us that Jone truly wanted to have a lesson and learn more of the gospel. So we coordinated with his friends in the Church to have a basketball game every Saturday and there he will receive the lesson in the Church. He truly wanted to come to church. We will pray as well that as he gained his testimony gradually of the truth, his family particularly his father's heart will be softened so we could work out their family as well to receive the truth. On the other hand, Bro. Marjun Aton, a friend as well of a less active member who is now gradually coming to Church shared to us of his trial last Sunday that's why they haven't come to Church but he told us he will truly come next Sunday. He already receive the Book of Mormon and he enjoyed reading it. Those who came to Church last Sunday were part-members; Eddie Degamon Jr. and his friend Mae Ann Iligan. They enjoyed the Primary class and we're so happy to witness that this big family of Degamon are now gradually coming back to Church and strengthened by their faith as they participate in every classes actively. We're touched by the testimony of their brother as his prayers are answered. We'll work out that their parents as well will come back to Church.
We met an Anti-Christ named Frecy Helo. She's truly a seeker of the truth and we already have 3 discussions with her. She's doubting of Christ's name but she believed in the Messiah. We shared to her that by reading the Book of Mormon, all her doubts will have answers as she pray and ponder about it. She always cry and feel the Spirit every time we end our lessons as well as her prayers ending it "In the name of Heavenly Father's Beloved Son" since she doesn't believe yet the name "Jesus Christ". As we conversed with her, we found out that there has been an unknown religion that brainwashed her mind and spirituality of holy terms and name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah and Amen. We discerned that she truly can find answer through feasting upon the Book of Mormon.
Companion:
This week has truly been a challenged for Sister Terante yet she proved that she truly can do it. She's now great in opening her mouth to every people we meet as well as in her finding skills that she's gradually going out of her shell. She has initiative in doing it and as we have our evaluations, she shared to me that she feels good every time she achieve a goal. Gradually, I am helping her out in her teachings on L1 and L2, so she could be able to share it by the Spirit. She's so humble enough to accept evaluations.
Branch:
We opened up to our Branch President that no Branch Mission Leader has not yet been called and he explained to us the process and reasons why it's been a month no one has yet called. We showed our respect to President and we continuously showed our support to Alegria Branch in doing missionary work and some of the active members whose part of the family are not yet members are gradually increasing their hopes that their family will become members of the Church so they will be sealed for eternity. I'm amazed of the trust as well as the increased faith showed by the members that nothing is impossible as they prayed and even fasted, and they are truly willing to coordinate with us so that their families will receive the gospel as well though many missionaries has come by, their missionary spirit are renewing again.
