Believe in GOD! 😇😇😇

I have a friend who served in Butuan mission. JV is one of the kindest and sweetest person I know. He always reminds me that if I want to be a missionary I have to follow the commandments with exactness.

Sister Dela Cruz is currently serving his mission in Tacloban. She's my bestfriend and she always reminds me to be what the Lord wants us to be which is to serve His children by inviting them to receive the restored gospel.

Sister Feliciano is a very confident person. She reminds me that in doing God's work, I have to be confident because the Lord is on our side and now she is serving her mission in Cavite.

Madel is a humble person ever since we became friends. She taught me that if I'm humble blessings will come.

My last friend from my group is my sister, Via. She taught me many things which includes sharing the knowldege I have. I knew if I do it, I can be a blessing to someone's life.

I really thank Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for giving these people to me. They have helped me decide what I really want and that is to serve the Lord and His children. I can show my love to the Lord by serving His children and by sharing the message of the restored gospel to them.

Our friends should make it easier for us to follow God's commandments, to stand in Holy places and follow the church standards. If our friends do so, then we found our eternal friends.
