Called To Serve

Raymond, Alberta


Around 150 friends and family members gathered in our home as Justin opened his mission call.


Justin indicated that he would be OK with any mission except for being called to Manitoba. Well, he was so thrilled when he read his mission to the Philippines Cauayan mission.

  Oy, Kamusta kayo!? Magandang hapon sa lahat! Sana naging maganda ang araw nyo ngayon! I hope your guys week went well and you were able to se the Lords hand in it. This was a learning week for me. Which I'm very grateful for. I'm grateful for the spiritual environment I'm in. It provides situations for me to grow in the Lord. Lets get into this week!    Tuesday        Over all this past week was a filtering week for us. Less on finding and more on seeing where each of our friends are in their progress. To be honest, sometimes I get annoyed when people don't keep simple promises. Is it that hard to read 1 verse of scripture a day? Sometimes, that proves to be the case due to the multifarious concerns of each person. Tuesday was a day of filtering through these concerns. We have a friend named Mario. I love and see his desire to find the answers to his questions, but unfortunately, he isn't willing to do the work. I do appreciate the fact though, ...

What a week! I hope everyone is doing well! In this email I'm going to share a little about my week and then a cool little realisation I had this week!    This past week I was able to go on exchanges with one of the Elders in our zone that is really having a rough time in their companionship. He's doing his best to be the good companion, district leader, and disciple of Christ that he can be, but he keeps having a hard time with his companion. On our exchages we had an amazing day. We taught by the spirit, found by the spirit, and felt the joy of sharing the gospel. Later that night as we were walking home, he said something I won't forget. He said " there really isn't anything more happy than sharing the gospel. I don't feel this happy doing anything else. This whole day with you I have felt this same joy.

     Good morning everyone!! I'll be giving a quick rundown of what happened this past week! Over all a super awesome week. I feel my understanding deepening. Not only of gospel principles, but of the weight, the importance, and the beauty of the knowledge that each member of this church has. I'm truly grateful for my Father in Heaven's plan for me. Okay let's get into the week.      Tuesday we worked and worked. Just good old door knocking. We were able to find a lot of people but one lady stood out. Sister Rachelda. She really understands what we teach her. And she is really willing to ask us questions if she doesn't understand. She's awesome.     Wednesday we were able to teach quite a bit. Fortunately we got to teach one of our boys named Tatay Alexander. He's a stud. He is one of the past vice mayors of the city I'm in. You would think someone so wealthy and already set up in life would be hard to teach in some aspects. Nope! He's truly an od...
