Ang Hari ng Tondo

We have been so grateful for this week.  We have managed to really work through the stress and we've seen the blessings coming from it.  We've found some solid new investigators, given out baptismal dates, and delivered some strong lessons this week.  

  Something that really contributed to the drive and motivation behind our work this week was our Zone Conference on Tuesday.  We had the opportunity to receive guidance from President and Sister Fermanis and it was very inspiring.  We focused on how our lessons should focus on The Restoration of the Gospel because the message that God had reached out to us once again through calling a prophet and revealed another testament of scripture is something that no other religion can say they have. 
I had just finished the Book of Mormon again and I was going to focus my studies on The New Testament.  I went a couple of days without reading the Book of Mormon it just didn't feel right.  As members of this church we should be reading The Book of Mormon every single day.  God communicating with us every day and giving us guidance is never something we should take for granted.  I can testify that if we read The Book of Mormon every day, even just a little, we will be able to hold onto our testimonies and feel the pure love of God. 


This week I became the "Hari ng Tondo"  (King of Tondo)  All that means is i've worked in every area in Tondo.  (I went on exchanges with Elder Prandas on Tuesday)  The term actually comes from a man named Asiong Salonga who was an infamous gangster here in Tondo.  sick.  The little girl in this picture was so dang cute.  Apparently she's scared of Moroni from the Book of Mormon so her parents always use him and his name to get her to behave.

Alrighty folks that's it for now be sure to say your prayers and give your moms hugs just because.  Love you
