We can’t change the past or undo the choices that hurt us.🥹💔
Dwelling on what happened only keeps us stuck in the pain.
Forgiveness doesn't mean pretending it never happened; it means choosing to let go of the anger so we can finally heal.😇

Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can find the strength to let go of bitter feelings. The Savior carries our burdens when they are too heavy for us. Because of Him, we can leave the past behind and move forward with peace in our hearts.💕

Israel finally stands on the edge of the promised land after generations of waiting, but before them lie real challenges: the Jordan River, the walls of Jericho, and strong nations, as well as the reality of moving forward without Moses. Their journey was not easy, but it was filled with divine assurance and guidance.

This promise brings hope to anyone who feels weighed down by life’s struggles—poverty, uncertainty, disappointment, or even frustration over the challenges in society. For many Filipinos who quietly carry heavy burdens each day, it can sometimes feel like the path forward is unclear or exhausting.

Yet the Lord’s message remains unchanged. Just as He stood with Joshua in difficult battles, He stands with us in ours. He sees every effort to provide for family, every prayer offered in exhaustion, and every quiet act of faith when life feels overwhelming.

Discipleship is less about checking off a list of "to-dos" and more about who we are becoming🤍. Each day that you choose patience over frustration or faith over fear, you are refining your character to be more like Christ.💕

The Lord looks at the heart and the effort we put into our growth. Even if your progress feels invisible to others, it is seen and celebrated by Him. Keep becoming the person He knows you can be.🌻

Happy Birthday ELDER BALDOMIR!

You’re a blessing in ways words can’t fully capture—your kindness, your smile, and the way you care for others never go unnoticed. We are so grateful for you and for every moment shared with you.

We are happy to see you fulfill your goals especially now as we celebrate your send off party. Congratulations to your calling to serve the Lord!

This is more than a journey—it’s a calling to serve the Lord, share His gospel, and grow closer to Him each day. I may not know everything ahead, but I trust the One who called me.

“I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded.” — 1 Nephi 3:7

Thank you so much to everyone who came and celebrated with us. Your love, support, and prayers mean more than words can express.

See you in two—stronger in faith, deeper in purpose, and closer to Christ. 🙏✨

With a willing heart and unwavering faith, you are called to serve! 🤍✨

As you begin this sacred mission, remember that you are a servant of Jesus Christ — called to bring His light to the world and to invite others to come unto Him. Your journey will not always be easy, but it will be worth it. The Lord qualifies those whom He calls. May your faith be your strength and your testimony be your guide. You are not just representing yourself—you are representing the Savior in every step you take.

“Now is the time to serve God; for behold, this is the day for men to perform their labors.” — Alma 34:32

Go forward with faith, courage, and a Christlike heart. You are never alone — the Lord walks beside you in every step, every lesson, and every prayer.

Your mission will change lives… including your own. 🌍🙏

They spent forty years in the desert—not because of the distance, but because of who they were not yet.

How long have you been going in circles in the same place, waiting for something to change? The lessons from Israel continue to apply to the challenges we face today: trust when you see no way out, repent and heal, move forward even when the future seems hopeless.

Learn more about how not to fear in this week's scripture study from Come, Follow Me.

Just like the Liahona in the Book of Mormon helped direct Lehi and his family to where God wanted them to go (1 Nephi 16:16), the scriptures can lead and direct you in your life.
