We went to Buguias. It’s about 3.5 hours away, on a uphill, windy mountain road. We did a 1 day mission to hopefully have a branch there in a couple months. There are a handful of members maybe 20 and probably around 10 going to church in the basement of a Farm supply store of a return missionary. It was fun. We taught in English because they speak better English than Tagalog. So that was new. 

 

 

 

This week was fun. We had a really good lesson with the L. Family. we shared Mosiah 14:3-7 and 2 Nephi 25:23 about the Savior’s love for us and that he does feel pain and sorrow when we choose not to follow him. Then Tatay asked if the Atonement affects even people in our day and age, or just the people who lived from Adam to Jesus' time. We answered him with Alma 34:13-14

13 Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice, and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle, and none shall have passed away.

14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.

It was a really good lesson and we felt the spirit a lot and Tatay thanked us for sharing the scriptures to answer his questions cuz he can’t read. It’s really sad cuz there’s so many people who want to follow Him, but they feel like they are not qualified because of their education or level of life. All are welcome and all are atoned for, and will be forgiven if we repent and change our ways to follow him. 

Shout-out @ Cole Pitt for actually emailing after he went home. 

There were some other things what happened but I felt like doin the spiritual moment this week. Hope yalls enjoyed.  (Don’t just read the references and move on, actually look them up if you want to get the true meaning of this experience :) )

This is a study table of Brother Lambert. We went over to teach him a lesson and we saw he was reviewing for all his tests. And in the middle of it all is the Book of Mormon. I really respect this guy cuz he has a testimony, even if he doesn't understand completely yet that if he follows the commandments of God.

From week of 2-26-2018:

Hey yalls. 

This week we're gonna do a booth in the 2018 Panagbenga Festival here in Baguio City. The focus is Familysearch.org. It’s kinda cool that my mission and my Grandmas mission in Utah are kinda connecting for a second, since all she does is stuff for Family History. If you’re in the Philippines and wanna come through... come on Saturday night from 5-8. I'll be working the booth. Also on Tuesday night same time. We’re right down from the Post office behind the Globe and Smart booths. If you’re from America, you’re still invited but umm, sariling pamasahe eh haha. 

Ummm I don’t have a, whole lot to say besides I ate a fried 1 Day old Duck... one of the exotic foods here. And to tell you the truth, I Prefer Balut :) which is called 17 Day olds but that’s how long it’s been growing in the egg at that point :)
