Family!
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!! Maligayang Pasko ng Pagkabuhay!
Thanks for all your emails to me with the great pictures! I love seeing and hearing how you're doing!
This week has been great! I was able to be a witness to the results of faith and hard, disciplined work. We were able to achieve many of our goals this week because of focused work and because of faith. I have been having many good conversations with Heavenly Father and I have been asking to see where I might improve. I have goals for myself that I haven't been able to accomplish. I have been unsure why things are not working out the way I expected them to work out. But I've been learning much about faith and about much disciplined and hard work bring results and I am seeing the wonderful benefits of it. It is exhausting, and it is sooo worth it. As in so worth it.
This week we've been working a lot with our favorite family! The Mañalac family! Wow they are the best. Seriously, we are working so hard and doing everything we possibly can to help them recognize their answers from Heavenly Father. We know He is giving them answers, and so we are trying to help them recognize the Spirit. During one of our lessons Brother Troy was able to open up about his hesitations. He has grown up and been extremely involved in his own religion with his family. If he makes the decision to change religions, it will be going against everything he was taught growing up. It will be going against their family's religion. It is a big big step for him and he's not sure what to do. We were able to patiently listen and with the Spirit help him figure out what he wants. Help him figure out if this really is Christ's true church, if the sacrifices he will be making really will be worth it or not. It is a big big step for him right now and for his family. Because we know of the truthfullness and the blessings of living the Gospel and of making the decision to follow Christ no matter what, we are lovingly helping him and his family make their own decision of what they want to do. Please pray for this family. They truly are sooo great and their potential is amazing. But they need help recognizing their answers from Heavenly Father. In the Lord's timing, everything will work out.
I love you family! I know that blessings come to us when we live the gospel of Jesus Christ. He made the ultimate sacrifice for us when He Atoned for our sins. When He did everything for us. It is the ultimate evidence of love. Especially this past week of Easter. What a beautiful way to celebrate the life of Jesus Christ and also of His death and especially His resurrection. I was so lucky to spend Easter going to church, partaking of the Sacrament, and then going and sharing to everyone around me about the Atonement and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I couldn't have been doing anything better this Easter than that. I am so blessed. This Gospel brings blessings to our lives we don't even realize, but the blessings are abundantly there.
Mahal ko kayo. I know that Jesus Christ loves you. When we draw close to Him, He draws close to us.
