Hi, everyone!
I am SisterGencianeo, and I have been called to serve as a missionary for **The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Philippines Tacloban Mission!
For a long time, I thought I wasn't capable of representing Jesus Christ as a missionary. I know I am not perfect, and I still have many weaknesses. But I am grateful that I chose to serve because I know that Heavenly Father does not need a perfect missionary. He needs someone who is willing to learn, trust Him, and serve Him with all their heart, might, mind, and strength.
The reason I decided to serve is because I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us so much, and I want other people to feel that same love.
Before my family became members of the true Church of Jesus Christ, we struggled a lot. Our home was filled with different kinds of trials, hurt, and mistakes. But because of two faithful missionaries who continually visited our family, and because of my Lola Kit, we accepted the restored gospel and became members of the Church. Their love and testimony changed the course of our lives forever.
Preparing for a mission has not been easy, especially knowing that I will leave my family and set aside the opportunity to continue my schooling for 18 months. At the same time, my heart is filled with joy because I have the opportunity to help others and share the gospel of Jesus Christ the same gospel that changed my family's life.
I want to share my testimony that Jesus Christ lives. He is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the lost gospel of Jesus Christ and that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I am grateful that we have a living prophet today who continues to receive revelation to guide us and help us become better disciples of Jesus Christ through his counsel, especially during General Conference.
I know that missionary work is one of the greatest works on earth because it helps gather Israel and invites God's children to come unto Jesus Christ.
I am beyond happy and excited to meet the wonderful people in the Philippines Tacloban Mission. I know that my call is not a coincidence. Heavenly Father knows exactly where He needs me to be, and I trust His plan completely. Although I don't know everything that lies ahead, I know that as I rely on Him, He will strengthen me, guide me, and help me become the missionary He needs me to be.
I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for His infinite love, mercy, and Atonement. I know this Church is true, and I am excited to dedicate the next 18 months of my life to inviting others to come unto Christ.
I say these things in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
