much the Lord loves us that

He gave His only Begotten

Surely, we

miss him so much but no

need to worries because we

all know that hes in goodhands.

Sister Sibayan said

that she has no regret in serving a

Spirit while we are doing the

missionary work she added.

Johnalyn appreciates also the

members, investigators and all her

companion during her eighteen

months in the field.

Brother Caisido

testified that missionary work is a

Lords work. It was never easy but

it was fun and full of spiritual

experiences especially when we

were teaching a small village with

more than 40 souls who accepted

the gospel. I am very glad that they

were baptized and confirmed

members of the church.

Brother Canimo is

also grateful to be in the Lords

Oh well, I guess

for this choir before I leave for

mission. I hope youll like it. I testify

to you that through our own

personal faith we can witness the

miracles in our lives. Let us not

fear the things that the world may

offer us, rather be a living witness

of faith, by trusting our Heavenly

Father and Jesus Christ in

everything that we do.

They deserve only

the best! I know you can give thebest for Him.

May God bless

each one of you as you sing this

piece with all your heart, might,

mind and strength.

We are pleased to

announce that The Gospel

Paragons is now the official

promote missionary work and

to encourage our ward

missionaries serve a full time

mission.

Lovingly Yours,

SisterDear Cabuyao Saints,

I would like to share with you one

of my spiritual experiences.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays at

8:00 pm; Saturdays at 10:30 am we

scheduled to visit a family. We have met a

very special familythe Peralta Family. We

usually walk in a steep road for about 200-

250 steps high to get to their hous e.

While walking, my heart is

singing High on the Mountain Top, a banner

is unfurled.... I realized that Peralta family

is like a banner which is a banner of faith,

hope, commitment, love and devotion.

The head of the family has

a HEART of a true father and the wife has a

heart of a mother. Their children are brilliant!

They are not blessed with so much wealth; in

fact, they are struggling to support the basic

necessities of life. But they have a wonderful

family, which is so PRICELESS!!

Cabuyao Ward

Statistics

They always read the scriptures.

They go to the Church every Sunday walking

from their house to the church with their three

little children. The eldest is nine and the

youngest is only one year old. It is evident

that they love the Lord. They go to church for

the Lord and they have committed for baptism

to follow the Savior s example.

We have had a hard time finding

their house at first but when my companion

and I got inside their humble house; I felt that

it was all worth it. I realized that we are like

miners of God for His precious souls because

we just found a golden family.

I can always feel the love of our

Savior and Father in Heaven every time we

are going to their house. I can see how the

Lord reaches out His hands for his children

through the gospel. I know it is true because

I have the testimony of the gospel and Healways forgives me. I know it is true because

the Plan of God was made for you and me.

Lord I am willing to share the

Love Im feeling, that those who seek with

honest hearts may find it... (Lyrics from: A

time to Share)

I know God has a great plan for

each and everyone of us. I know that Jesus is

our Savior and Redeemer who has done great

and marvelous miracles. I know that Joseph

Smith is the prophet of the restored gospel. I

know the Book of Mormon has the power

to change ones life if we ponder it in our

hearts.

Lets trifle not but give heed to the

words of Christ, ponder it and ask forconfirmation from our Father in Heaven

through the Holy Ghost and our faith will

become strong and immovable to set an

example for the world to see the banner of the

Lord in us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Lovingly yours,

Sis. Ammalyn C. Loterte

The gathering of scattered Israel is one of the mostimportant teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter

day Saints. We should be helping the Lord in gathering the

elects.

In Mosiah 28:3 Now they were desirous that salvation

should be declared to every creature, for they could not abear

that any human bsoul should cperish; yea, even the very

thoughts that any soul should endure dendless torment did

cause them to quake and etremble

We know brothers and sisters that if we fulfi ll our

responsibility by preaching the gospel to the people who do not

know yet the truth, God promises to give us remarkable

blessings.

Cabuyao Ward Newsletter

instead of Cabuyao Ward

Missionaries Newsletter.

The name will still be the

same because we are the

Gospel Paragons. We

should always be the

example of excellence to the

people around us and we

ought to go out and let our

light shines and radiates.

Brothers and

sisters, once again, I want to

share with you the three

meanings of Paragons:

1. Example of excellence:

somebody or something that

is the very best example of

something

2. Large unflawed diamond: a

perfect diamond that weighs

at least 100 carats

3. Large perfectly spherical

pearl: an extremely large

pearl that is a perfect sphere.

Let us all join our

hands together and act as real

Gospel Paragons by doing our

part in bringing more souls

unto the knowledge of truth

and keep radiating our spirits

to the people around us.

Sincerely yours,

Bro. Romie Policarpio

countless ways.
