Temple Tour

About every other month the mission organizes a temple tour where the missionaries can invite investigators and returning members to go on a tour of the temple ground and feel and learn about the blessings of the temple. The Carissa elders invited the Concepcions and Bagangans and the Punta elders invited the Cuyugans and a lady named Nancy.They rent a bus and all the missionaries from the whole zone use it to bring their people and the missionaries pay for it.There is only room for them to bring 4 people per companionship so it's hard to match the numbers especially if someone doesn't show at the last minute.Anyway Concepcions and Bagangans were too many so we took Bagangans with us but it turned out only Hilda was able to go.And the Cuyugans didn't show.The tour went really well though. Missionaries are assigned different stations and talk about the purpose of Temples, they also show an amazing Video. At the last station we share Testimonies on the importance of Temples and they can ask us questions. It was amazing as the returning family ,Concepcions, shared with Sis Bagangan more about baptism for the dead: she then finally realized that she could have the work done for her late husband- she was so excited! The spirit was so strong as we each shared the importance and spiritual significance of the Temple: a lot of tears were shed. "Sweet is the work". All roads lead to the House of The Lord. There were several Zones there; I'm guessing there was over 100 investigators and returning members. Hard to explain the feelings we have; this is truly the Lords work.After we got back from the  temple I went to branch council meeting and then we met the elders at Melody's.She wasn't home but the elders had just come from teaching Eris and Barbie, our wheel chair guy, and said they had committed to baptism and were coming to church tomorrow, Great news!
