Welcome Home, Elder Trayco 🏠

We happily welcome back Elder Trayco from Buhay na Tubig Ward as he returned with honor in the Philippines Bacolod Mission from April 2024 to April 2026. His two years of faithful service reflect his love for the Lord and His children, and we are grateful for the lives he has touched and the testimony he has strengthened.

His testimony: “Good day Everyone I'm Brother Marvin former Elder Trayco served in the Philippines Bacolod Mission. I know for myself na I've found the kingdom nang Diyos dito sa kalibutan, kabalo ko din na ang Missionary work ang pinakamahalagang ulobrahon nang Diyos. sa Mission ko din mas narealize at mas naintindihan ang Pagbayad sala ni Jesukristo. I will be forever grateful na nakapagserve ako nang mission at Isa sa natutunan ko na "If you love them, baptize them. Mahal nila tayo at alam ko na buhay sila. Ang Book of Mormon, Si prophet Joseph Smith at ang mga revelations totoo talaga sila.”

Thank you for your Christlike service, Elder. May you continue to shine, inspire, and bless others as you move forward in this next chapter.✨🙏

Welcome Home, Sister Vecinal🪻

With grateful hearts, we warmly welcome Sister Vecinal from Buhay na Tubig Ward as she honorably returned from her mission October 2024 to April 2026. Her faithful service has strengthened her testimony, deepened her love for the Savior, and blessed many lives.

Her testimony: "I know this missionary work is Heavenly Father’s great work, and each of us is part of it. Our efforts, even small ones, can make a big difference. It doesn’t matter if you are a full-time missionary or not, newly baptized, or just returned to church—do not focus on feelings that you are not good enough to share the gospel. Instead, pray to “stand as a witness of God.” We show this by how we live and how we speak every day. I know it was not by chance that I was assigned to the Philippines Cagayan de Oro Mission, and it is not by chance that you are where you are now. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ need you and me. I know He will guide us, and I have already witnessed this during my mission. I know this is a great work, and it is worth our time and effort."

Thank you for your dedicated service, Sister Vecinal. Continue to shine and inspire others to Come unto Christ.✨🤍

From Imus 2nd Ward to the mission field—Sister Mari’s journey is a testament of faith, growth, and courage 🤍✨

“Just like other teenagers, I struggled to keep up with what the world offers. My first FSY was during the pandemic, and I thought it would be boring—but those 5 days changed everything. I began to see the beauty of the Gospel and gained my own testimony of Jesus Christ.
At my last FSY, I had a question in my heart: ‘Should I prepare to serve a mission?’ The desire was there, but I lacked the willingness. After that experience, I felt fulfilled, inspired, and ready. I held on to that burning desire—and now, I’m acting on it.
I know that Heavenly Father knows each of us by name. He understands our struggles and helps us become who we are meant to be.”

Easter marks a new life in Christ.

After His Resurrection, Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples (see John 20) and to people in the Americas (see 3 Nephi 11), continuing to teach and invite all to come unto Him. His ministry continues today through prophets, scripture, and personal revelation.

We can follow Him and share His message of peace.

On the third day, the tomb was empty. Jesus Christ rose from the dead, completing His Atonement and breaking the bonds of sin and death. He was resurrected, meaning His spirit body was reunited with His physical body after death and He became immortal. His Resurrection means that we too will live again and be resurrected. We can find joy and hope in Him every day.

After Jesus was laid in the tomb, His disciples waited—confused, heartbroken, and unsure of what would come next.

There are moments when we feel the same, waiting in darkness. But even then, we can trust that God will fulfill His promises.

We have all made mistakes that hurt our relationship with God. But Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross so that we could repent, be forgiven of our mistakes, and restore our harmonious relationship with God. Even in His agony on the cross, the Savior prayed that those who mocked and persecuted Him would be forgiven.
