Preach My Gospel

Preach My Gospel Says( Quote) Wherever you are assigned to serve,remember that the Lord has "suffered you to come unto this place; for thus it was expedient in {Him} for the salvation of souls." (Close Quote) We have been blessed to come here and serve;and are thankful we have but a small part in building up the Kingdom here in the Philippines.The work continues to roll forth unto the ends of the earth;and will till he once again comes to rescue the souls of men. Till then we will do our best as all of you are doing,as you serve in your various calling in the church. We miss home and family but are thankful to be here inspite of the challenges we face at times, its only with our temporal affairs. There is much work to do here.People are so friendly and humble;when ever we are at their homes they dish the missionaries food first then their own which is only a quarter of what they are eating. I asked Brother Base(1st counselor in Branch presidency) what would be his favorite meal if he could go out and eat he said a smorgasbord with all the rice you can eat. That's like us saying we don't care as long as we have all the mashed potato's we can eat. Any way today we taught Melody the Word of Wisdom she drinks Coffee but said that's OK I can quit and she did. We told her how pleased our Heavenly Father is with her for wanting to obey all of his commandments so readily. She such a neat Lady sure love her.later we went to Avellenosa  less active family it was her son's birthday (15) so I made him a cake ,I think it might have been the only one he ever had. So us and the missionaries had a little party for him,think he really appreciated it.
