Called To Know The Richness of His Blessings

Family and Friends,

Did you know... the Lord is merciful and is a God of miracles. If miracles have ceased... it is because we have dwindled in unbelief.

On Saturday, i was a part of a miracle. I watched 12 converts enter the waters of baptism in one service. yes. 12. 11 were to the other companionship, and 1 to us. amazing. There were 2 full families baptized... including the fathers. Wow. I saw that God truly is a God of miracles in our day. That was one of the best experiences on my mission, even the though the 11 werent our converts... still amazing.

Another miracle... So here in Dian-ay we have a part of our area that is way off in the mountains. So it has a special sacrament meeting for the members and investigators there. It's called bariopuey (the area)... i love the area and people there so much already. Well.. right now,all the members are youth/SA... of course you need priesthood to expand an area. So yesterday, we took a 30 min hike out to one of our investigators. We ended up finding a priesthood holder who is less active only due to the distance and payment for church attendance. wow. Boom! This place is a goldmine. I literally never want to transfer out of here. haha. 

Funny.. On the way back from our hike, there was a little creek. One of the youth, jumped it just fine. I knew i could as well. I made the jump great, but apparently i weigh more than the 14 year old Filipino boy... the land couldnt hold me... i took a valiant fall into mud and a small river. hahahaha. Up to my elbow in mud, and my foot took a swim about up to my low calf. One day you will see the pictures... hahahaha. hilarious.

Well.. there is some good stories right? Other notes... How often do you think of your baptismal covenant? What does that mean to you? Will you study that this week in your scripture study?

My comp is great.. the area is wonderful.. slowly but surely on the progression, but its wonderful. 

Pray. Then Act. It's a simple formula for success. 

Well.. i love you.  Miss you. Sure do. But thats okay.. ive been out for 10 months now... Aayos-a!

Palangga,
