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.✨🤍
