• Sister Lupe Lauano - She's my 3rd and Senior Companion Hawaiian, a very happy person . When I work with her I appreciated how life in the mission is , She taught me how be "ME" there were no days that we were not smiling. Here she is!

• Sister Rebekah Robinson  - I just love her , she is my best friend in the mission , We were Zone mates before and they usually slept over in our apartment in Balaquid and we do P-day's together in our first area's since Cabucgayan is 30 min. away from our area . We were trainee at those times and we had a chance to be companions for 1 cycle in Tanauan both our second area's. But this 1 cycle has left a lot of smiles on our faces. We learned a lot . We struggled a lot in terms of work and our own realizations . We had great experiences together . She showed me how to be grateful in all things. She showed me what really matter's when you serve the Lord. And Enjoying the work that The Lord has entrusted into our hands with a big big laughs, smiles when walking down the streets and teaching our Investigators and Less Active Members and Finding is a special one!

The gospel of Jesus Christ as restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith will bless their Families, meet spiritual needs, and help them fulfill their deepest desires. Although they may not know why, they need relief from feelings of guilt that ome from mistakes and sins. They need to experience the joy of redemption by receiving forgiveness of their sins and enjoying the gift of the Holy Ghost 

Valencia A Blessing

           We reach here in Valencia Last 2006 , it was an amazing part of my life because it's a new area and with new people . Everything has it's own purpose . When I reach 18 years old , our Branch President called me as Young women secretary and with our new Young women president at the age of 20 years old and after the sacrament meeting we have a little chat about what had happen that day . And each of us says "were too young to be in this calling" with a worried face on how to run our callings . At first we really had a hard time on our callings because we are still students at that time, pressure's came in church and also at school , but after seeing our young women grow spiritually in the Gospel even how hard it is for us to fulfill our callings it made us realize we should be more strong in making our duties right and seeing the Young Women gather on mutual and doing the Personal Progress and assisting them ,it become more easier and easier.
          We reach here having a very small chapel wherein there are 40-60 members and this chapel was 20-22 years old.. As the year ended our small chapel can't handle  the members enough, so we, the youth held our classes outside the chapel wherein there are mango trees and also the Primary. I also accepted a calling of being a Primary Teacher..and it is very hard at first especially handling kids because I have only one sister?..my patience was test by these kids but I am happy that as Sunday's pass by, Heavenly Father help me have new ideas how to let these cute little kids listen to me while I am teaching them every Sunday and they became my very good friends, and good listeners. I know that they are learning from me but I am more learning than from them by teaching them I am also teaching myself learning more about the Gospel.
                                     In the young women organization my skills of broadening my ideas were used , I even played the Piano on Elder kho's visit at open house,Conference's ,Choirs (played the piano), that I never imagined I could do such things! It was definitely an amazing experiences. I learned things on this place.A different "me" was build, a "mature one".
                                     After 20-22 years of waiting to have a big and Wonderful Chapel at 2010 our new chapel was Built because of it's growing number's of member's. And before the open House? I saw a Mother of 5 kids cried at the Sacrament Hall..as I was looking at her I know she felt a very wondrous spirit inside the Sacrament building. I can see each faces of the members how lucky they are and Thankful of the newly built chapel they have. After 5 year's of living in these place I had such a wonderful memories together with these people.
                                     Yes! we had challenges,trials that had come over our family here in Valencia but In spite of these I consider Valencia a BLESSING! because in these place I LEARNED THINGS! in a NEW WAY...I learn how to appreciate things even in a little way, I learn to love each members and people, I learn to Share the Gospel, I learn that Serving the Lord will give you much Blessing. He may not give you riches, But in terms of growing Spiritually and Mentally is a big Gift of Blessing from Him. I love the members! And will Always treasure and Cherish them .
