So this week we ran around telling people about the fireside that we had in our branch on Saturday. It was about getting married and striving for a temple marriage and not just living with each other. It was good. We had 10 people there so that is 5 couples, I was so happy! Because they came! We had a couple missionary teach about temple marriage, and then we had a Filipino couple bare testimony and then the requirements to getting civilly married and sister Marbelyn (our recent convert ) testify about how she likes being married to her husband and her strive to go to the temple. It was sooooooo good! I love sister Marbelyn she is strengthening her husband and her sisters (they were all there).
The sister training meeting was really good. They talked about how even though we are different we don't need to look down on each other or fight, because we have one purpose and our time to serve is super short so even if we don't like our companion it is only a second of our life. So we need to do all we can to serve the people with love and have enough charity to give each other the benefit of the doubt and after that we will see each other’s strengths and celebrate our differences. It was about not focusing on the negative, because in the end that won't matter. Also striving in being the best we can be with our different talents and not feeling incompetent because we have Divine Help. Also about to love Jesus more than your fears and doubts and your hurt feelings and your sleep. Can you do that? Let go of your fears and just go forward with trust? we are all here to help each other go back to heaven can you help Our Heavenly Father by letting go of insecurities and just helping your other brothers and sisters? Don't be a wimpy woman; make Choices and Decisions based on the Fact that you are A Child of GOD. Don’t dilly dally. BE a Heroine for others. For your Faith, for Jesus (onward Christian Soldiers) hahah it was cool. You have good to do every day, so go out and do it.
When you are Selfish you can't be who God intended you to be because selfishness suffocates spiritual senses. If you have problems you have to ask yourself how you can change that then go and do it.
If you have virtuous thoughts you can be confident in every other aspect, because you will have the spirit to be with you to guide you. Be fearlessly different, have the Courage and Commitment.....(I can’t read my handwriting) to be positive? Anyways those are my notes I loved it. But then we got stuck in Cauayan and couldn't go home until 7 hahah. There were no buses and we were not going to take a van. (They cram people into vans and everyone closes the windows so it gets hooooooot.)
Other highlights. We have 7 less active teen girls that are all batch mates, they all use to pull each other to church and activities but it died. So we visited them and gave the scripture 2 Nephi 1:30-32 about best friends and how to be a best friend you need to bring your friends closer to Christ and bring each other to church. One had called the other and it was cool. We whispered to her "you are being an awesome Nephi” it was cool. I was happy.
Also our RC, Leo was ordained a Priest and he prayed for the first time for the sacrament. It was good.
Cool sky
