Week 13

 Hello Family!
This was a good week. I'm excited for Family Home Evening tonight.
Every Monday night, we have FHE with a family and teach them how to
hold an FHE.  Every time, I bear testimony about how having FHE every
week with my family growing up really strengthened our relationships
with each other and helped me to learn about the gospel and hear my
family member's testimonies.  I really loved having that, along with
daily scripture study and family prayers.  I really have a testimony
that FHE is so important and can really be a blessing in your lives if
you take advantage of it.  If any of you haven't been having FHE every
week, I would really encourage you to start now.  It doesn't have to
be super complicated or even very long.  In case anyone who reads this
doesn't know what Family Home Evening is, it is a time once a week
when you gather your family together.  You start with an opening hymn
and prayer, have a spiritual thought or scripture, a lesson, activity,
closing hymn and prayer, and anything else you wish to include
(talent, treats, testimony, remarks from the head of household...).
It is such a powerful thing that will really bring your family closer
together.  Please, each of you commit yourselves to have a meaningful
FHE every week with your family so you can receive the promised
blessings.

We have two baptisms scheduled for August 11th which we are excited
for.  Joan and IB are two young girls, 11 and 12 years old and they
are very excited to be baptized.  Their parents don't listen to the
lessons or seem very interested, but they are very supportive of their
daughters, who go to church every week by themselves.  Of course we
have a member pick them up and they sit with us at church, but I am so
proud of them.  They love coming to church and they love primary.
They are so good!

Kabalo ko matuod ang Simbahan ni Jesucristo sang mga santos sa ulihing
mga adlaw.  Kabalo ko nga nagbayad si Jesucristo para sa aton tanan
mga sala.  Siya ang aton Manluluwas. Paagi sa iya, makabalik kita sa
Diyos kon maghinulsol kita.  Kabalo ko nga matuod ang libro ni mormon.
 Matuod nga propeta si Joseph Smith kag paagi sa iya, ipinanumbalik
sang Diyos ang iya ebanghelyo sa kalibutan.  Kabalo ko nga kon
magpangamuyo kamo sa Diyos adlaw-adlaw, mabaton ninyo ang mga
blessings sa inyo kabuhi.  Pwede kita estoria sa Diyos paagi sa
pagpangamuyo kag nagapamati ang Diyos sa aton tanan tungod palangga
niya kita tanan.  Palangga ko kamo tanan. Nagapasalamat ako para sa
inyo hemplo sa akon. Ginibilin ko ang ining butang sa ngalan ni
Jesucristo, Amen.
Pili sang Maayo!
