Man
this week was good! It wasn't the easiest week of all time, but it
definitely was good and I am happy! We had a great spiritual experience
of being in the presence of a general authority, Elder Ardern. We taught
and got some great new investigators! I also got to hear how Cadiz 2nd
Branch is going from other missionaries and I am stoked!!
So
to start we will focus on Elder Ardern! Man, this was a man chosen from
God to do his work! We had some great teachings by him, all which were
on likening the scriptures unto us and using them as a powerful tool! He
repeated what Elder Andersen said last year on how we should not flip a
page in the Book of
Mormon without learning something about Gods plan!
He then had a great question answer period for us, but the cool part was
He would ask the question and we would answer! All of it was focused on
"How is our mission doing what it is doing?" He said he can't deny us
the fact that our mission is the top of the Philippines area. He said
not to get prideful, because the Lord does not work with Pride! He was
trying so hard to figure out what was different about our mission! Well
with a mixture of Our Vision (Weekly Baptisms, Preach My Gospel
Scholars, Exact Obedience), and the joy (D&C 50: 17-22) that comes
from the Work of Salvation, that is how we accomplish these things! He
strictly talked to us though about Quality teachings and baptisms over
just baptizing who ever and just help them memorize the Baptismal
Interview Questions (which happens a lot). I have been saying those kind
of things my whole mission and it was so nice to get the reassurance
from a General Authority of God.
So because we
had Mission Tour all the other Elders slept in our apartment... There
were a lot! The cool thing was I got to hear from the Elders in Cadiz
and I have never been filled with more joy then anything! So do you
remember my favorite family the Demapenden family? You remember how we
opened that area and we were the first ones there? Well now there is a
special sacrament there of an attendance of 45 people!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!! I
am so happy to hear that the work that we started has grown and many
souls have now been brought unto Christ! I just thought that that was a
cool things to share! 
This week really has
nothing super exciting other then that. We are teaching, working hard,
trying to get the work progressing as much as we can to accomplish Our
Vision. Time is going fast and we cannot just sit back and relax!
Everyone needs to work in this cause so that we may all be able to
rejoice in the last days!
I know this Church
is True! This Church was restored on this earth because God loves us as
his Spirit Children! We can all return to him! We must follow his
commandments and do all we can to become more like him and we will be
exalted in the last day! I love you all keep being the people you are
and keep working hard to keep those shoes on!
Love,
Elder Minson
