Week 29 - February 18th, 2019 (Dingras, Philippines)

Hello everyone, hope your weeks are going great! Quick blog this week, I'm running out of time, but I'm so happy to be able to talk to you all. It's been a great past week, we are finally seeing some real growth in our area, and we've had some awesome opportunites to find and teach some new families this week. We had one who was able to come to church this past week, all of them except the father, as he works in the farm all day, it's the busiest weeks of the year during the corn harvesting season. The Guira family- they are all so humble, willing to seek change in their lives. I'm hoping to see them all go through with this wonderful opportunity the Lord is giving to them and us.

The other two pairs of Dingras Elders had some baptisms this past week, it is such a great experience to witness that- the Spirit is always there in those huge events in these people's lives, and we are so blessed to be a part of it for this short time. I'm coming to realize just how short this time really is, and how much I have a duty to commit all my time to this work, to these people- I need to come to love them more, to love the Gospel, to desire their salvation, to experience the change of heart spoken of by Alma and all those Book of Mormon prophets. This purpose is simple, and the results so wonderful. Missionary work is real! This is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and it is our Father's plan for our happiness! I love you all, keep seeking the light in all things, and have a wonderful week!


Love,
Elder Griffitts
