Aparri District Youth Temple Trip: A Testament of Faith and Sacrifice

One of the priorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the welfare of the rising generation. Programs and activities of the church center in molding our Young Men and Young Women to be Christ-centered individuals through a holistic approach in developing their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual lives.

As a testament to this, the Aparri Philippines District conducted its semi-annual Youth Temple Trip at Urdaneta, Pangasinan last December 4-6, 2024. Batch 1 comprised the youth from Aparri 1st, Aparri 2nd and Lallo Branches.

Meanwhile, the 2nd Batch which will be participated by youth from Camalaniugan 1st, Camalaniugan 2nd, Magapit and Gattaran is set to happen in April of this coming year.

Temple visits are a way for privileged members of our Church to learn about the plan of salvation, follow Christ's example, and receive blessings from God.

May this another remarkable experience strengthened the faith and testimony of our younger brothers and sisters to continue to walk in the covenant path!

LOOKll DISTRICT YOUTH ACTIVITY

What is more exciting than when youth are gathered together in one location feasting the words of and strengthening their testimony to the Savior Jesus Christ!

We invite all Young Men and Young Women to participate in the DISTRICT SEMINARY CLASS dubbed as "SUPER SATURDAY" this coming November 23, 2024 (8:30AM) at the Aparri District Center.

Remember this exhortation from President Russel M. Nelson. To the youth, he said, “Seminary will help you to know your Savior Jesus Christ and deepen your conversion to Him and to His restored gospel. What else can happen? In seminary, you can begin to learn how to receive personal revelation — and what a difference that will make in your life. … Your desire to be an active part of the Lord’s youth battalion to gather Israel will increase. You will take responsibility for strengthening your own testimony, and your faith can become rock solid.”

Come and be part of this amazing and fun activity! See you AD Saints Youth!

FASTING AND FAST OFFERINGS - An Invitation and A Commandment

From the beginning of the world, true believers have practiced fasting as part of their worship of God. In the book of Joel we read, “Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting …” (Joel 2:12.)

Fasting means “to voluntarily refrain from eating or drinking for the purpose of drawing closer to the Lord and requesting His blessings.

In this dispensation, faithful Church members observe a special fast one Sunday each month (usually the first Sunday of the month.) The Guide to the Scriptures teaches us: “In the Church today, one Sabbath day each month is set aside for the purpose of fasting. During this time, Church members go without food and water for twenty-four hours. They then contribute to the Church the money that they would have spent on food for those meals. This money is called a fast offering. The Church uses the fast offerings to assist the poor and needy.”

With this, the District Presidency extends its gratitude to its faithful members from Aparri, Camalaniugan, Lal-lo and Gattaran for heeding to this commandment. In this very challenging times, our obedience and consecration can truly uplift others lives.

Today, because of our fast offerings, we were able to bless 771 families across Aparri Philippines District.

May we continue to ACT with FAITH and honor our covenants as we live the principles of Fasting and Fast Offerings.

Mag-ingat po tayong lahat AD Saints!

In Section 21 of the Doctrine and Covenants, we are taught that the words given to us by the prophets and apostles of Jesus Christ are vitally important. Referring to the Prophet Joseph Smith, verses 5 and 6 state: "For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith. For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name’s glory."

We pray that Latter-day Saints in the Philippines will carefully listen to the spoken words of the prophet and other Church leaders and then study and reflect on their talks when they are published, both online and in print.
