One YEAR Mark
Well Today is the day of my one year mark!!!! But I've been great here in the Bacolod Philippines mission. There are some things that I've learned on the mission that have impacted my life and what I do after this and what I'm doing now! There is something different about people and how I look at them. We all have mistakes and that's that. There isn't one perfect person here on the earth, but that is our goal, why we are here. Everyone around us needs to know that they are loved, because they are! Everyone here on the earth is a spirit child of our Heavenly Father. There is no picking ... poor, rich, good looking, ugly, tall, short ... It doesn't matter who or what their circumstances are. But they are children who ... some have lost their way and need a helping hand. Some that are doing good in life. But I know that what we have is what those lost ones need. I've learned to appreciate EVERYTHING that I have been given and am given. Here in the Philippines you can't pick and choose. I remember when we had one member who said to us "Elders we don't have any money to buy food for dinner tonight". That was a family of seven ... who were active in the church and striving with all their might "to come unto Christ". I could only think, "don't you worry, The Lord will provide" like "I The Lord am bound when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say ye have no promise." It cannot be wavered or changed. The Lord's promise is ALWAYS there. I've loved every day here in the Philippines and appreciate everything that The Lord gives me. I appreciate every day he gives to me to labor among his fold and find those who are lost. I love you all and hope everything is going great!!!
