So they say, the secret to missionary work is work!

Good morning!!
Another good week in the Philippines Olongapo mission, here in the Mandama ward! We had one investigator at church yesterday and 5 Less-active members, one who had returned yesterday. That is the least amount of investigators I have had in this area, and the most amount of Less-active members… so we were excited … sort of ;) 

As yesterday was for sure my last Fast and testimony meeting in Mandama ward, I took the first opportunity to stand up and bear my testimony to these wonderful saints of the Philippines. I have really grown to love these people as I have worked side by side with them for almost 8 months of being here in Mandama, they have become like family to me and I really am going to miss everyone of the saints here . The rest of sacrament meeting was really good.The rest of sacrament meeting was really good. the ones who got up to bear their testimony did so well and it brought the spirit into the room and filled my heart. I am drawing a blank as I try to think of what happened this week, the days seem to just fly by. 

As the hours sneak past us, they turn into days and the days turn into weeks, here I am with less than a week left in the field as a full-time missionary and it does not feel real. I never thought this moment would come and now its way to close. I know that I have done my best. I have made mistakes and I have had many st backs but I have learned so much from my Savior, he has lead me along this path and especially in this journey in this mission. I have really been pondering this last couple week if what could I do more, with the short time that I have left. 

I was reading the other day in Alma 38 and came across verse 2 that says; “I TRUST that I shall have great joy in you, because of your STEADINESS and your FAITHFULLNESS unto God” It made me reflect on the work here in the field and at home, the reality of God’s trust in each and everyone of us but the thing is, the choice is ours with what we will do with that trust he has so freely given to us. I know that as we endure to the end and do all we can as members of Christ’s true church to share  his great gospel, he will bless us.
I love you and I hope that you all have a great week.

  1. I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com
