This week was a pretty good one for your boys Elder David and Elder Munk here in Bagong Silang. So this week we were challenged by our zone leaders to teach the Plano ng Kaligtasan (Plan of Salvation) first instead of the Panunumbalik (The Restoration). The thing about teaching here in the Philippines is that the teaching here is very simple. Simple enough that you can teach the whole Plan of Salvation lesson in 15 minutes. We tried it all week and it turned out great. It keeps them interested and is great when you ask them, "Where are you going after you die?" or "Where did you come from?" Becasue they just look at you with a blank face and then say something like "Oh, Panginoon siguro" (Oh, the Lord maybe...) It is cool to see their faces light up when you talk to them about eternal families and the spirit world. At the end of almost every lesson we were asked how we know this plan of God, it is awesome to watch their reaction when you say "Let me tell you about a little boy named Joseph Smith." It almost makes me laugh sometimes when their eyes get big and they get really interested.
Most of the time when I OYM someone I ask them if they know who the living prophet of God is, the always say, Oh of course, Moses, right? hahaha Its a good experience telling them about Russell M Nelson and about how he is the prophet for all of us today. While teaching this lesson this week I felt really grateful for this plan that we all have. I am so grateful for the atonement, so that the plan is possible. I am grateful that I know what exactly i going to happen to me and to my family after this life. I am also grateful for modern day prophets and modern scripture that we have.
Anyways our week was good, full of teaching about the great plan of happiness. Missionary life is the life. Hope you all have a great week, read the BofM and go to church. Thats all I got. Mahal kita, mahal kayo ng diyos
