Seminaries and Institutes Pre School Convention 2010 (National)

Manny's work is connected with Seminaries and Institutes of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Currently we are assigned in Panay Island. This a great oppurtunity to work with the youth of the church helping and teaching them the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yearly as husband and wife, we get to be instructed and trained by our leaders and general authority. This year's theme is found in D & C 12:8," And no one can assist in this (the Lord's) work except he (S&I men) shall be humble and full of love,having faith, hope, and charity, being temperate in all things, whatsoever (wive, children,work) shall be entrusted to his care."
The training emphasis was on our relationship as husband and wife, and to our children and how to strenghten family relationship. I' m grateful so much for this kind of training and instruction, it helps build our relationship as partner and parents to our children then eventually how we can help our youth have their own families founded on the foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are some pics taken from our Convention held in Marco Polo Hotel, Cebu City, last May 26-28, 2010.

Cebu Philippines Temple Open house

Patron House

Cebu Temple

Last May 27 and 28 , 2010 , me and Manny went to Cebu Philippines Temple for the open house. After 20+ years, Philippines has a new Temple located in Cebu City making it the 2nd. It was in the year 2006 where Pres. Hinckley announced the temple. So finally it is about to be dedicated this June 13, 2010. The Temple area has the temple itself, Patron house, stake center, mission office and mission home. As we toured in the Temple, i felt peaceful feeling inside especially in the celestial room. It is a very beautiful building. Indeed it is a house of the Lord. The spirit is so strong there. The Mindanao and Visayas area are so happy and blessed to have this Cebu Temple because it is nearer than the Manila Temple. We will go back on June 13th , our 3 kids will be with us. We will watch the cultural show as well on the 12th. Here are some photos of the temple open house.
