12/17/12 – Tonight we were invited to
have Family Home Evening with Elder Haleck, one of the Seventies, and his wife
Peggy. What a wonderful opportunity to
be taught by him. They made us feel so
comfortable in their home.

invited the members and investigators from the Philippines that we have had the
privilege of working with since we got here.
Henry and Judith were baptized a couple of weeks after we arrived. Then he invited Richard and Myra to come to
church with them. Myra was already a member,
but Richard was not. He accepted the
Gospel with open arms, and from there is has just mushroomed. There were about 25 in attendance. If things keep going, it won’t be too long
before we will have a Philippine Branch!
It is so awesome to hear them bear their testimonies and see the change
they have made in their lives. The three
that were baptized last week were all chain smokers and spent their weekends
drinking. We witnessed a miracle as they
gave up their previous lifestyle and got themselves ready for baptism. Sister Haleck served Hawaiian Haystacks for
dinner. Our friends from the Philippines
were not sure about the food. But after
they tasted it they seemed to enjoy it.
Many of them joined us on Thanksgiving, and they were not sure about our
Thanksgiving food either… |

The evening was so special. We hated to see it end. Another great blessing for us! Heavenly Father must really love us to bless
us with the opportunities and experiences we are having. Except for health reasons, there really isn't a
good reason not to serve a senior mission…
Dear friends, follow the prophet and prepare to serve!
