More About Me

1. Where are you going?
"I am called to serve as a Missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a period of 24 months. I am assigned to labor in the Philippines Angeles Mission. APRIL 26, 2013 - APRIL 26, 2015."

2. What is your purpose as a missionary?
"My purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentence, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end."

3. Why are you making this blog?
Since in the mission field we need to stay focused in the work that we do, there are many rules to live by. Most of them can be found right here Mission Rules. Using our facebook, for one, is not allowed. That is why I made this Mission Blog to keep all of my friends updated of my experiences in the mission.

GREAT NEWS! Missionaries can now reply to the e-mails of their friends. But the thing is, we are only allowed 30 minutes e-mail time per week. So I'm not sure if I will be able to reply to all of your e-mails (because I will need to write my family, too). This blog will be very helpful.

4. Who will update this blog for you?
My sister Rue will be the one to update this blog for me. Letters and pictures that I will be sending my family every week will be posted in here.


My Focus Today

MY FOCUS now is giving my 100% commitment and dedication to this calling that the Lord has given to me. I will serve the Lord will all my heart, might, mind and strength, and know that if I do so, He will see me fit for the companionship of the Holy Ghost.

I want to be a successful missionary. I know that the call gives me the authority, but living up to the commitments and covenants I have made with our Heavenly Father will give me power. "Success through obedience," is my motto.

Good day!

It was a great week, and was definitely better than the last one. And it just keeps better and better, especially because we are getting a lot of support from the ward members and leaders.

I also have a firm testimony that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. We were struggling with finding new people to teach. So I got down on my knees and pleaded to our Father in Heaven, and He answered my prayers. This week we did not have to deal with finding new people to teach all by ourselves. We received referrals from members, part member families that they would want us to contact and teach. And so that was one of our successes this week. We were able to contact the De Vera family, part members, who were prepared by the Lord to receive this gospel message. They will be baptized on 27th of September.

We also had a pretty balanced work this week. We did not only focus on investigators, but we also were able to help a lot of less-actives renew their faith in Jesus Christ and a testimony of this restored gospel… because in Angeles Mission, we baptize and rescue. This coming week, two families will be less-active return. We attribute this to the members doing their home teaching and visiting teaching. It’s also very refreshing to see a lot of members attend sacrament meeting. The sacrament hall was almost entirely full. It was one of the miracles this week.

Last Friday, I was on exchanges with one of the elders in my zone. Elder Stewart is a great missionary. He is obedient and diligent. I learned so much from the exchange, especially on how to effectively find new people to teach. We knocked on doors or did house-to-house contacting. He has good people skills, and because of that we were able to contact 5 new investigators. One is a family, and the other two are potential priesthood holders who came to listen to this message for the right reasons… because they want to repent and make a change in their lives. After the lesson, we extended baptismal goals, and they all accepted it. It was a miracle. It was a wonderful learning experience.

Another highlight for this week is the meeting we had with the Stake Presidency and the Bishops from the different units. We were able to discuss matters about missionary work. The missionaries committed to their bishops that they will be giving each auxiliary leader a copy of a completely filled progress record with a specific help needed. The bishops were very pleased, and they committed to have someone work with us every week. We were also able to discuss all about the 15 unit names, and about referrals. We also planned to have a Stake Referral Fireside on the 23rd of August which will help the members know what to do on how they can better prepare their friends/family to be taught by the missionaries and to accept the gospel.  I know that Unity is a commandment from the Lord. And as we become one with the ward members and leaders, we will see this work move forward faster than ever before.

I also learned so much from the Mission leadership council meeting this week. Writing letters and obedience is what I loved most. I promise to write to family every week. And to constantly strive to be exactly obedient. I know that obedience brings success, but exact obedience brings miracles. I definitely feel more enabled and feel the Spirit more in the work when I am exactly obedient.

I know this work is the Lord's work. I am grateful for all trials here in the mission. I love you and praying for all of you! Until next week ;)

Nagmamahal,
Elder Anasario
