Sister Janaye Fuell's Blog: Malolos Week 16

Thanks for the update! Sorry things were wild while I called, its hard to call when we're on the go. The temple was good though, I felt a lot of peace. I miss the temple haha.

This week was good! We taught a man named Jun. He's cool! He's a seaman (works on cruise ships) so for some parts of the year he's not home. His wife and son are members but he keeps telling us not yet for himself, and his wife is really funny about i. She's always getting after him to come to church and stuff like that haha. The other day he had a lot of questions about the Book of Mormon and we had a lot of answers for him. It was fun. He's a really cool dude and all he's missing is that he just needs to ask God if its all true. He's understanding the lessons and he tells us that he's been taught by missionaries for years now but that it wasn't until we taught him that he understood. I was thinking about that, and I thought about 2 Nephi 31:3 Which talks about how "the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding." and how at that time, the spirit helped him understand what he needed to know. It wasn't because of us, and it wasn't because of him. It was because of timing and the spirit of understanding. And I know that this was a blessing for Jun and his wife and son. Afterward we bore testimony that Jesus lives, and he continues to speak to us, and that Heavenly Father is waiting for him, and so is his wife and son. I think this touched him. We asked his son to give the closing prayer and when he prayed he prayed that someday they will all be sealed in the temple as a family, and my heart ached a little bit. But I feel like Jun could come around. We have a window of time that we can help him and I think that he could get to that point. I love that family, and I'm grateful that they let me be apart of their lives for a time.

Just grateful to be here in general!! The need is great and we as missionaries have a lot to give!! Especially that mabuting balita, na meron tayong isang tagapagligtas at mahal niya tayo talaga.

nagmamahal,
