This week was super great! One of my favorite things as a missionary is to be able to feel like a real instrument in God's hands. When you know that it is not you speaking, but it is the spirit guiding you as you teach and share, that is true happiness for me. We were sharing to one of our investigators about sa Faith, and Repentance and I truly felt a love for teaching, I felt a love for what I was teaching and I wanted to share what I know and about what these principles mean to me. I know that the spirit was there as we were teaching simply to Sister Gerylyn Maca-ambac and Brother Susi. I know that through faith and repentance we can grow to come closer to Heavenly Father. I know that Repentance is the way for us to apply The Atonement of Jesus Christ is our lives, and to show our love for Him. I pray that we will have have courage and faith to repent and come unto Him, to recieve the blessings of His ultimate sacrifice.
We had a wonderful time this last week sharing with a member and some of her referrals. It was a wonderful experience as I had the opportunity to share my testimony and I just let go, I just let the spirit tell me and flow through me, that is true happiness, this is the joy of Missionary Work.
Sister Tayros and returned to one of our new investigators and we just listened. We listened to Sister Jane and she was so open to us and she shared with us a great experience that happened to her when she was going through maraming napakhirap na mga trials. As she was telling us of her experiences and how when she thought there was no other way, she just prayed. She prayed with her whole self, in faith to Heavenly Father pleading that He would help her and her husband through their difficult times. She recognized the role of God in her life. And she knew that He was there, and that He answers our prayers. I love to hear of the stories and the way that God helps each of us to recognize that He is really there and that He loves us so much!
It is more important to say what you feel. Teaching by the spirit is to think, to do, and to say as The Savior would.
I know that this is the true church. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are to very real and love us very very much! He has a perfect plan for all of us.

Salamat po sa lahat!
Mahal na mahal ko po kayo!
