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 

MTC Experiences

Departure Time and wearing of my Name Tag!

Well here we go! I am flying to Manila for an 18 months mission! Before I left I ask my Dad to give me a Father's Blessing it was a very heartwarming experience for me having been blessed by my Father before leaving in a 18 months journey preaching the Gospel. At exactly 5am we rode the Volkswagen and travel to the airport. When we arrive there the flight was cancelled and will be travelling by 8am and I am expected to be at the MTC by 8am so we switch flights to Cebu Pacific. It was time to go and I remember my aunt running through me and saying there are lots of members outside the airport and wanting to wave goodbye but My name was already in the waiting area for the flight.

That was the time I remembered! and said :

"NO TURNING BACK"

I rode the plane and even ask the flight attendants if I could wave goodbye to my family and friends and yet she said the Plane will already fly soon in a few minutes. I sat at the chair in my designated seat and open a letter from my Second Grandpa : Lolo Jan -

Where he included withing the letter a verse :

Mark 5:36 : 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only ^abelieve. -  

Specifying the word - Be not Afraid , only Believe - this was the start of having that pinned in my heart as I serve the Lord for 18 months. A few hours of travelling the plane I have reach the Missionary Training Center! And I saw my NAME TAG! ahhh! I'm excited !...
