Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

- 1 Corinthians 13

In all aspects of the work, may it be for the area or to the people we are teaching, or to the missionaries in your stewardship or to the members, we must have charity. It should never fail. I testify that its hard in some circumstances, but remember, He will not require it from you in the very first place if you can't. I testify that we should coz we could and He knows that we can.

This week:

* Exchanges with Sister Atillo and Sister Delos Santos

*I enjoyed studying the Come Follow Me Manual. Really suits our time and is edifying.
*The people we are teaching who lives in a quite far distant part of our area were able to attend church this sunday. I'm so happy for them and proud for that particle of faith they've shown in making a great action.
*We were able to extend a Baptismal Invitation to Brother AJ Mercader, and he said YES!
* Sister Juanita Flores, a recent convert is now working out her family tree! Yey!
