On April 25th this year, we were set apart as ordinance workers with Sister Melanie and Brother Micheal King. We are grateful for the privilege to glimpse celestial joy every time we serve. Every 4th Tuesday of the month, Anatolin and I travel at 2AM to the Manila Philippines Temple with the Kings. The temple opens at 5AM for ordinance workers. We have prayer meeting at 6 and work until 2 in the afternoon. Serving as temple workers makes the ordinances and blessings even more special to us as it increases our understanding of the everlasting gospel. Coming closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, they become our focus and have peace in our hearts no matter what challenges we face. For the next months before the dedication of the Urdaneta Philippines Temple, we will continue working in the Manila Philippines Temple.
Can you imagine if you had the chance to share your final thoughts with your loved ones before leaving this mortal existence? Well, that's exactly what the prophet Lehi did when he sensed that his life was coming to an end. He gathered his family for one last heart-to-heart. In our early morning Seminary class, we learned about Lehi and his final moments with his loved ones. It's truly touching how he gathered his family together to share the incredible messages that Heavenly Father had revealed to him. It must have been a deeply meaningful and heartfelt experience for everyone involved. It's amazing that Lehi not only shared his personal testimony of the Messiah but also delved into important topics like liberty, obedience, the Fall of Adam and Eve, and the redemption through Jesus Christ. These are such profound and essential teachings that can bring so much understanding and joy into our lives. Here's the thing, though. Lehi's children had the freedom...
Okay, let's get real. Anyone can have kids, right? But being a dad? That's a whole different ballgame. As a mom, I've seen firsthand what it takes to be a great father, and let me tell you, it's so much more than just biology. It's Not Just About the Genes Making a baby is just the starting point. Being a father starts when you step up and take responsibility. It's about: - Being Present : Like, really present. Not just physically, but emotionally too. Putting down the phone, turning off the game, and actually engaging with your kids. It's about being there for the good, the bad, and the messy. - Keeping Them Safe : Making sure they're okay, both in their bodies and in their heads. Teaching them how to navigate the world and protecting them when they can't. It's about being their rock. - Providing the Basics : Food, clothes, a roof over their heads. But also, giving them opportunities to learn and grow. It...
We are looking forward to starting and completing our chosen course this fall semester. Child Development course is a theoretical, academically oriented course focusing on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of the child from conception through adolescence. As parents ourselves and assisting and giving support to other children, we are excited to learn and explore the influences of family, peers, and social institutions on the child's development. We know that connecting the dots between what we learn and what we do takes creativity and even stepping outside our comfort zone.Our most favorite part is searching for daily opportunities at home and at work to apply what we learn.
Wherever we are, our daughter, Cerah Hennah teaches us that standing taller is not just about physical stature. It's about the courage to face our fears, the resilience to overcome our challenges, and the determination to keep moving forward. It's about standing up for what we believe in, standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves, and standing up for the values that define us. Just recently, we were impressed how Cerah approached her 18th birthday with a different perspective. Instead of demanding a grand party or gifts, our daughter expressed her desire to spend quality time with us and embrace the significance of this milestone in her life. It was a witness to her maturity and understanding of the transition to adulthood. Her decision to forgo a big celebration and focus on creating meaningful memories resonated deeply with us. It made us realize that she values the essence of family, love, and connection more than external validations. It was a...
Let's talk about church. Not the polished Instagram version, all smiles and perfectly-behaved kids. Let's talk about the real church – the one filled with messy, complicated, wonderfully imperfect people, just like you and me. Because honestly? Church is hard. It's hard for the person creeping in the back, terrified of judgment. It's hard for the bishop's family, carrying the weight of everyone's expectations. It's hard for the prodigal, returning home bruised and battered. It's hard for the teenager pretending to have it all together, while their heart screams for help. It's hard for the couple who just fought the whole way to service. It's hard for the woman watching children play, a silent ache in her heart. It's hard for the widow or widower, sitting alone, wishing someone would just say hello. The list goes on, doesn't it? Divorce feels like failure. Church songs can be a tidal wave ...
Family history is more than just names and dates on a family tree; it is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and memories that connect us to our past and shape our future. The Family History Fair at Urdaneta Stake Center, hosted by the missionaries, was a celebration of these connections, a gathering of individuals and families dedicated to preserving the legacy of generations. Our family had the opportunity to explore our roots, discover unknown family stories, and connect with others who share a passion for genealogy. We enjoyed a variety of activities that helped us on our journey of uncovering our family history. The Family History Fair provided something for everyone, regardless of their level of experience. We express our gratitude to the missionaries for their hard work and dedication in preparing for the Family History Fair and for sharing their talents and creativity to showcase the rich tapestry of family history, c...
We've all been there – juggling work, household chores, social commitments, and the ever-present demands of modern life. In the midst of this chaos, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of time our children seem to require. "I just need a break!" we sometimes think, or even say. But what if the very thing we perceive as a burden is actually the greatest gift we'll ever receive? I recently came across a quote that struck me to my core: " You will never look back on life and think, 'I've spent too much time with my kids.'" Let that sink in for a moment. The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short It's a cliché because it's true. The days with young children can feel incredibly long. The constant needs, the endless questions, the sheer exhaustion – it can all feel like a never-ending marathon. But as any parent of older children will tell you, those years fly by in the blink of an eye. One minute you're...
In the ever-expanding landscape of temples around the world, the message is clear: temple blessings are not just reserved for a select few, but are meant to be accessible to all who seek them. As the Lord, through His living prophet, continues to bring more houses of the Lord closer in more places, the opportunity to partake of temple blessings becomes increasingly available to everyone. Temple blessings are not merely symbolic in nature; they hold profound significance in our eternity. Through sacred ordinances and covenants made in the temple, we establish a direct connection to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. These ordinances provide us with an eternal perspective on mortality, reminding us of our divine heritage and purpose on this earth. One of the most beautiful aspects of temple worship is the opportunity to perform sacred ordinances on behalf of our ancestors. As we participate in this sacred work, we follow the pattern of savior...
