S6:E3 The One Where Donna Sets a Baptismal Date

 

大家好！

Time is going by so slow... it did not occur to me that zone conference was last week.

☆ we took our friend Abigail to church with us last Tuesday! Yay! She loved it and said she wished she had more time to stay and join other activities. She even invited some of her day off buddies to join her next next Tuesday. Happy moment!

☆ our friend Donna set a goal to be baptized on October 15th and so that was a happy day for her

☆ we had our apartment home evening and we made home made pizza! after putting all the toppings on the pizza we put it on the oven and waited for it and then they pulled it and it fell flat on the floor  bahahah good moments

☆ it has been so fun going out to find Filipinas, they're the easiest ones to talk to and it's so easy to make friends with them and so our only challenge is distinguishing who among them are the elect because a lot of them are just willing.

☆ not much has happened this week but I've been reading a lot of talks that have helped me understand more about this work, allow me to share some of the things that have touched my heart!

• repentance is a principle of hope and healing, not of discouragement and despair. Repentance indeed is humbling but not frightening. Repentance is simultaneously demanding and comforting, rigorous and soothing. Repentance is a priceless gift made possible through the Atonement of Him whom we love, serve, and follow. As we exercise faith in the Savior and apply the principle of repentance in our own lives, we become new creatures in Christ, "have no more disposition to do evil", and are filled with a desire to "serve him with all our heart, might, mind and strength"

• "Could I suggest that we see gratitude as a disposition, a way of life that stands independent of our current situation?"

Missions are so interesting. I'm humbled by the Lord for "daring to send me where the Lord required rather than where I had deemed appropriate".
