Our Faith will increase

The Lord God prepareth the way that the residue of men may have faith in Christ, that the Holy Ghost may have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof; and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants which he hath made unto the children of men.

This is Elder Lavides and he is from the Philippines. He arrived here on his mission 2 weeks after us. He is such a wonderful young man and we are happy that we have been able to spend time in the jungles walking and teaching members and investigators with him. Elder Lavides has such a special spirit about him. He is a little guy but he's a giant package of life and energy. Everyone loves him and his antics. He has been called to serve over in Guam as a Zone Leader. We are praying he will come back sometime in the future so we can finish our mission with him.

Elder Lina, who is also from the Philippines, was trained by Elder Lavides. As you can see he is full of fun also. Elder Lina is leaving also to serve on the island of Saipan. They are going to bless the lives of those in their respective places just as they have here. Both of these Elders might be small but they have huge testimonies and amazing spirits. We are all going to miss them very much. We know Elder Lina will enjoy serving over in Saipan and we pray he will be back also.
