Saints at Central

18/03/2026

60 youth from Iloilo Central Stake, with their leaders, made the spiritual journey to Cebu Philippines Temple on Mar 11-12, 2026.

Through devotionals, testimony sharing, fun, and games, they strengthened their bonds and performed baptisms for the dead.

A memorable trip, and possibly the last to Cebu as we eagerly await Bacolod Temple's opening in May!✨🧡

"Let God Prevail" (Genesis 24–33) 🧡

This week, we follow the journey of Jacob—a man who spent years trying to get ahead by taking the place of others, only to realize that God’s greatest blessings aren't won, seized, or taken from someone else. They are given freely to those who simply make room for Him.

We all have moments where we struggle with challenges, our past, or our own weaknesses. But like Jacob, who became Israel, we find our true strength when we stop trying to do it all on our own and finally decide to let God prevail.

Let us all be reminded that our worth isn't found in being first or being better than others—it’s found in the quiet, humble decision to let Him be the center of our lives. As we walk this covenant path, may we find the peace that comes from trusting His hand over our own. 🏔️✨

With hearts centered on the Savior, the Central Stake came together to celebrate a beautiful Valentine’s gathering focused on Jesus Christ, family, and Christlike love. Through music, fellowship, and meaningful moments, members strengthened their relationships and renewed their commitment to love one another as the Lord has taught.

As President Thomas S. Monson once said, “𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐫.”

May we continue to build homes filled with faith, kindness, and devotion — not only on Valentine’s Day, but every day as disciples of Christ.

"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis 18:14)

This week, we walk with Abraham and Sarah through a season of waiting, testing, and ultimately, a miracle. Their story is a beautiful reminder that God’s timing is rarely our timing, but His promises are always sure.

Sometimes life asks us to wait much longer than we expected, or to let go of things that are incredibly dear to us. In those moments, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

As you study Come, Follow Me this week, you’ll see that our trials aren't just meant to test us, but to help us become more like Him. Every step we take in faith—especially the difficult ones—is an opportunity for the Lord to refine our hearts and strengthen our resolve. We aren't just surviving these moments; we are being shaped by a Father who loves us perfectly as we walk by His side.✨
