Finding Joy in the Little Things

Image
Ever get an email that feels like it was written exactly for you? That’s how I feel every single time Gemma Stone pops up in my inbox! This week’s message hit different – with three simple but powerful reminders that I knew I couldn’t just read and forget:   - Delight in the tiny moments of pleasure ​ - Find all the reasons to celebrate ​ - Choose joy for no reason at all   So I decided to turn these beautiful ideas from screen to real life – and I’m sharing exactly how I did it, including a ready-to-use phone reminder setup you can copy-paste right away! Here it is:   - Delight in tiny moments of pleasure : Pause for 10 seconds at least 3 times a day to fully notice something enjoyable – the warmth of your morning hot choco, the sound of birds outside, or someone's genuine smile. - Find all reasons to celebrate : At the end of each day, jot down one thing you’re grateful for that feels worth acknowledging – even small wins like finishing a task or tryin...

The Fall That Became a New Beginning: A Tree's Story of Resilience

Image
While visiting the Marikina Shoe Museum, we stumbled upon something that stopped and amazed us – a massive old tree that had clearly fallen during a strong storm. But instead of decay and death, what we saw was a powerful testament to life's ability to adapt and thrive against all odds.   The tree’s thick trunk lies horizontally across the ground, its original roots still partially anchored in the soil where it once stood tall. Based on its size and the rough texture of its bark, it must have been growing there for decades, witnessing countless seasons pass in Marikina City. The storm that brought it down likely hit with tremendous force, bending and breaking parts of its structure as it crashed to the earth.   A Remarkable Turnaround   What makes this sight so extraordinary is that the tree never gave up. The far end of its fallen trunk – the part that would have been its top branches – touched the ground and took root on its own. Now, new roots d...

Preparing our Children for their First Temple Experience

Image
It's a special milestone for our family that our youngest daughter, Czerinah Ellah is turning 12 this year and becomes eligible to participate in temple ordinances with her limited-use temple recommend and participate in certain sacred ordinances within the temple. Having her able to participate alongside the rest of our family is a joyous occasion. We are thrilled for this opportunity to support one another in these sacred experiences. We are glad that she will no longer need to wait for us to finish our temple sessions and can now make important covenants and receive blessings that can strengthen her faith and deepen her relationship with our Heavenly Father.    As Czerinah Ellah prepares for this significant step, we believe it's important to help her understand the sacredness and significance of the temple ordinances. We encourage her to study and learn about the principles and teachings of the gospel, and guide her in developing a strong foundation of faith. P...

The Queen of Our Castle

Image
For Latter-day Saints , the concept of eternal families is central to our beliefs. We strive to create homes filled with love, respect, and growth. This vision has been powerfully shaped by the teachings of prophets like President Russell M. Nelson , whose recent passing has brought a wave of reflection and gratitude.   In a talk given in 1968, then-Elder Russell M. Nelson shared timeless wisdom on how to cultivate a strong and loving marriage. These words, which have profoundly impacted our family and countless others, remain incredibly relevant today.   He stated:   " Our home can never be any better than our selection and care of the one to be the queen in our castle. This sweet and hopefully eternal companion needs particular attention, for she is so tender and so special. 'Thou shalt love thy wife with all thy heart, and shall cleave unto her and none else' (D&C 42:22)   If you really love her, you are more concerned for her welfare than for that...

Celebrating Dad

Image
Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honoring and celebrating the remarkable men in our lives who have played the role of a father figure. They make countless sacrifices that deserve recognition and appreciation.   Fatherhood is a role that comes with immense responsibility and significance. They are not just providers and protectors; they are also mentors, role models, and sources of unconditional love. They play a crucial role in shaping the lives of their children and imparting valuable life lessons that last a lifetime.   Every dad is unique, with their own set of qualities that make them special.  We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Anatolin, the patriarch of our home. His unwavering love, guidance, and support have been a constant source of strength and inspiration in our family. We are truly blessed to have a dad like him who always puts family first, who works tire...

Nurturing Trust in Heavenly Father Amidst Uncertainty

Image
Breakfast after our early morning Seminary Class  After two failed attempts to obtain the plates of brass from Laban, Nephi crept into Jerusalem by night with faith in the Lord. However, he had little idea of how to accomplish his task (1 Nephi 4). We can definitely relate to Nephi's experience of feeling strongly about something but being unsure of how to accomplish it. Personally, there have been many instances in my life where I've felt a strong desire or prompting to pursue a particular goal or take a certain path, but I've been uncertain about the steps to take or the outcome.   In such situations, it's important to remember that we are not alone. Just as Nephi had faith in the Lord, we too can trust in Heavenly Father's guidance and His willingness to help us. He knows our desires, strengths, and weaknesses, and He is aware of the challenges we may face.   When faced with uncertainty, I find it helpful to turn to prayer and seek guidance from a hig...

It was a day filled with anticipation, excitement, and a deep sense of purpose as we commenced on this sacred journey of temple service at the Urdaneta Philippines Temple.  Here are some insights on how to prepare for temple work, drawing from our experience on this momentous first day.   Spiritual Preparation   Spiritual readiness is a fundamental aspect of preparing for temple work. Taking the time to center ourselves through prayer, scripture study, and pondering helps cultivate a mindset of reverence and connection with the sacred work within the temple. It allows us to align our thoughts and intentions with the divine purpose of temple service, creating a space for the Spirit to guide and inspire our actions. This spiritual preparation not only enhances the personal experience of temple work but also enriches the service rendered to others within the temple walls. It is a beautiful ...

BYU-I Fall 2021

Image
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.
