Hey there everybody!
This was an awesome week yet again for the Narra Elders, Elder Balonsong and Elder Stephens. We had tons of work, actually i think the most I have had yet on my mission, which means the work really is hastening here in the Philippines. We are able to teach a lot of people and continue to find on the way. Last week we had our zone meeting, first one I've had yet as the zone leader, and it went really well. We just focused on repentance and helping the people that we are teaching to repent and come unto Christ. We also challenged all of the Elders in our zone to focus more on finding new investigators and helping them to progress towards baptism. Finding has just been low in Narra for the past few weeks so we really invited them to go out and focus on it. They really respond well and found so many new investigators and I know that through their efforts a lot more people are now receiving the message of the Restoration and a lot of them will come to know that it is true. We are teaching a few wonderful families that are really progressing and it has been great to see them exercise their faith to come closer unto Christ. One of them is the Bambico family who have been to church a few times and are reading the Book of Mormon every day. They are a pretty big family and I have really been touched by their faith in our Savior. They don't have a whole ton of riches, but they have family and they are now beginning ot learn about the gospel and they are so happy because of it. We are also teaching the Vigunti family who are sort of the same way. it is only a husband and a wife because the kids are all grown and on their own, but they are also exercising great faith in the Savior. Every lesson we have they just learn so much and immediately begin to apply it to their lives.I love the wonderful people herein the Narra area and I am so happy I have the blessing to invite and help them to come unto Christ. Missionary work is so great and I love this work with all my heart. I will forever be grateful to my Heavenly Father that he provided me this opportunity. I love you will all my heart. Till next week!
Elder Stephens
