MESSAGE FROM THE ASSISTANTS
Elders and Sisters, we have enjoyed the dishes from the North and look forward to the Cooking Demos in the South. We again reiterate the importance of exact obedience. The Lord expects it. Remember, the commandment was not, Though shalt not lie but rather, Though shalt not bare false witness. When we hide truths or tell only half truths, we may trick ourselves into thinking, I was not lying but that is only a deception of the devil. When we hide the truth, or do not honestly explain everything we know, we are both bearing false witness and lying Remember, Jesus Christ taught, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John8:32) Elder Peano, And Elder Cobb

THOUGHTS FROM THE VINEYARD

Exact Obedience- easy to say, yet it needs constant effort to live every day! I never know the importance of obeying exactly until I served a mission. Satan wants the missionaries to be lazy and disobey. He tells us in our minds that we need to worry about our families so that we could hardly focus in this work. He wants us to hate our companions, leaders and fellow missionaries. So many other things he did to stop this great work from progressing. Sister Enguito I want to make my family proud of me and especially my heavenly Father. I want to do my very best in this mission. I really want to. I know that if I will do this I can be a successful missionary. It may be hard but I know the LORD will help. I know that this is the True Church of Jesus Christ. I know that he wants me to do my best here. Elder Baisac Mayron kami baptisms handa para sa buwan na ito at sobrang masaya ako at look forward to see them getting baptized. its not all about the numbers pero dapat rin may

quality. dahil we bring them in to stay at patuloy na maging matatag sa simbahan. Sister Ete Last week prior to transfer day I was thinking whose going to be my companion and there is one person that just went on my mind and that is Elder John and I was so surprise to know that he is truly going to be my companion here in Calapacuan Zone. I am also very grateful about it because Elder John has taught me a lot especially on what are the responsibilities of a Zone Leader. He is such a good example to me. Elder Encluna I know personally from experience that if we are in a situation where in our patience is being tested and that if we could just pause for a while and think carefully of what to say and act, and most importantly to choose to respond humbly of whatever provoking situation we are in, we would never go wrong. Elder Ramirez Last week i am happy that we baptize five of our investigator and and they confirmed yesterday being a member of the true church of Jesus Christ and i am happy for that because i know that if they will being active in the church they will be happy, because they will know how to come back to the presence of our father in heaven. Elder Tomias Narealize ko po na sa aking buhay at this point my mission is the most important thing sa akin. I hold my sacred calling close to my heart. Kahit I am only halfway I feel like my time is running out! Ayaw ko! Pero nagpapasalamat po ako for such feelings kasi po it is motivating me to work so much harder. As tired as I am Ive never been happier. Sister Barlow i am optimistic that i am going to find the people here that God has prepared for the message of the restored gospel :) I need to do my part to be able to find them and i will find them :) In order for me to find these people that God has prepared i need to follow the mission rules. By doing so, i am promised to have his spirit to be with me, to direct me, and to whisper what to say. Elder Christensen Missionary work is NON-STOP WORK for Progressing, i will do very best we can as a representative of Jesus Christ to show the love and good example to serving others to bring back into the fold of God. I will strive to become faithful and Humble Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ with MORAL Power and Authority to Preach the Gospel. I will strive to do MORE develop the Christlike Attributes to become a MORE Christlike Missionary. Elder Moral I know that God really does answer our prayers, I know that he knows our weaknesses, I know that He knows what we are, He care for us and His other children, He is willing to help us dealt with concerns just to be able to help others also become happy. Elder Dacoycoy I love my new companion. He is nice and obedient. He desires to be better and I can see a future leader in him. He admits his weaknesses but this is one of his greatest strengths. We work together as one be it in teaching, obeying and learning. I respect him and I do my best to be his best companion ever. Elder Mediado I testify that there is no other substitute for missionary work that can give me satisfaction and real happiest in this life than missionary work I will always love to be a missionary.
