WHATS INSIDE?

The Cabuyao ward missionaries (The paragons),

together with Bro. Policarpio and his family had so much

fun in Tagaytay last February 9, 2008 during their team

building.

After a more than 30 minute drive from the Cabuyao

chapel, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Taal Volcano

and the fresh air of Tagaytay. It has become one of the

most sought-after places in the country because it is as

close to paradise as one can find. Along the way, one can

enjoy the cold breeze and the pineapple plantation. While

on our way, we bought buko or young coconut and made

delicious buko juice. There were lots of local and foreign

visitors when we reached the place. We chose our table

under big trees and prepared the barbeque grills. After our

lunch we went around to many beautiful spots and of course

we had so much fun taking pictures while cracking jokes

with each other.

We will never forget the spirit of friendship that we

felt that time.

BBBBBEST ACTOR JOHNNY IS NOW ELDER ABQUINA

Our award-winning actor Johnny Abquina, who performed in the 2007 Christmas

presentation entitled My Bestfriends Family, is now serving a full-time mission

in the Philippines Tacloban Mission.

On February 15, 2008, a ward family home evening was held as a farewell party to

Johnny prior to entering the MTC. And prior to his MTC entry date, Johnny has been

working with the full-time missionaries almost everyday for nearly 7 months.

He became the most diligent ward missionary who loves to work with the elders

everyday. The members and the investigators would truly say that there are no dull

moments with him. You will always laugh because he is a happy person and the

clown of the Cabuyao ward missionaries, not just because of his looks (joke!), but

because he always cracks jokes and makes everybody happy when he is around.

His favorite line is mamiss ko ang ISTAKA ng Cabuyao (I will miss Cabuyao

Stake.)

He is now serving in the Philippines Tacloban Mission and we are all praying that he

will return home with flying colors after two years.

We all miss him but surely the Lord will take care of him as he labors in His

vineyard.

According to ElderRichard G. Scott,Missionaries try with everycapacityprayer, fasting,and testifyingto helpindividuals embrace thetruth. A mission teaches oneto be led by the Spirit, tounderstand our purpose forbeing on earth and how toaccomplish it.

Around the world,there are 17 MissionaryTraining Centers and the

Philippines is so blessed tohave one.

With Cabuyao Ward Missionary Paragons

In science there is a law that states, matter cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed. When a mass

or an object enters an enclosed space, it will remain inside that space unless it is moved to another place. The space where the

matter is to be transferred should have enough space or else, it will not flow. The same holds true with sins. When we allow

sins to enter our lives, it will remain there unless it goes somewhere else, unless there is somebody to absorb it. That

somebody cannot be just anybody. He should have a heart large enough and clean enough to absorb all our sins. Only Jesus

Christ is capable of being that person. In order for our sins to move from ourselves to Jesus, there should be faith in Christ,

there should be repentance, baptism, and gift of the Holy Ghost. The sacrament takes the place of baptism after it has been

properly performed but the same covenants were made. Transformation happens when we give away all our sins. Only when

we are completely transformed, only then can we be qualified to be with God. This is one reason why it is very important to do

missionary work. Pres. Howard W. Hunter said, A great indicator of ones personal conversion is the desire to share the gospel

with others. For this reason the Lord gave an obligation to every member of the Church to be a missionary. When thou art

converted, strengthen thy brethren (Luke 22:32). May we do our share in sharing the gospel, in the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.

Yours truly,

Bishop Carlos U. Alvez

Cabuyao Ward

Brethren & Sisters,

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation and

gratitude to the Gospel Paragons Editorial Staff for having

this wonderful second issue of our Missionary Newsletter.

So much has been said about Missionary work, as one

of the three missions of the Church of Jesus Christ. We all

know its importance, we all know that no unhallowed hand

can stop this work from progressing, and we all know that this

work is part of our responsibility to discharge, as members of

His kingdom here on earth.

I want to bear witness to you as to the divinity of this

work; deep in my heart I know that this is the work of God.

Theres so much work to be done, yet so little time and few

are currently working.

So let us work and devote ourselves together

assiduously to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to those

people who are currently hungering for truth.

Sincerely,

Romie A. Policarpio

P 4P 4P 4P 4P 4 The Gospel ParagonsJan- Feb 2008 MESSAGES

In the book of Mormon, the sons of Mosiah became successful missionaries when the Lord instructed them to teach

the ferocious Lamanites. The question is, how did they do that? they have given themselves to much prayer and fasting;

therefore they had the spirit of prophecy and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and

authority of God (Alma 17:3).

Sometimes, or should I say most of the time, giving referrals to our full-time missionaries is not an easy task to do. For

some reason, we are hesitant to let our nonmember friends or relatives know the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. But we

should always be reminded that it is not our work alone. The Lord will be with us so long as we have the desire to share the

gospel to the elect. I firmly believe that we should fast, kneel down, and ask the help of our loving Father in Heaven to help

us prepare our prospective referrals, and that He will soften their hearts so that they will accept the invitation to come unto

Christ through the waters of baptism and confirmation.

I know we can do this my dear Cabuyao Saints. Let us give them all the chance of eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Letus find our dear friends.

We can all do it my dear Paragons.

Yours truly,

Mary Ann Pada

In Luke 18: 18-25,

18 - And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit aeternallife?

19 -And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is agood, save one, that is, God.

20 - Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit aadultery, Do notbkill, Do not steal, Do not bearcfalse witness,dHonourthy father and thy mother.

21 -And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 - Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute

unto the apoor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23 -And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24 - And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the

kingdom of God!

25 - For it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

The conversation between the Savior and the young ruler teaches us many principles that will make us better people.

We would like to cite one principle, which is sacrifice. The Lord wants us to sacrifice our time, talents, wealth, and possessions

in the building up of His kingdom here on earth.

We all know that giving time to missionary work is a big sacrifice for us in our busy world. We appreciate those Cabuyao

saints who have been working with us and also giving us referrals.

We hope that you will continue to help us in spreading the restored gospel in your area. Thank you so much.

Dear Cabuyao Saints,

Hows everybody doing? I hope youre all doing good & Im happy to hear from my family that most of the youth &SAS in Cabuyao Ward have a strong desire to serve a full time mission and are now preparing too.Well, as of now, its been two weeks since Ive been transferred from my last area in Dipaculao Branch under BalerZone.My first area is the farthest area in the mission but it is also the most beautiful area in the mission and it is called the

jewel of the mission according to othermissionaries here. It has a lot of good sceneries like the ocean and also there are lotsof mountains.

The people are so good and really receptive. I really miss my first area especially the people whom I worked withover there. But now I am here in my second area which is the Victoria Ward under Tarlac Zone where there many people but notthat receptive. Sometimes Im thinking why was I transferred here in this area?

But I just remind myself of the words of my MTC teacher that it doesnt matter where you serve but how you serve.so life must go on :). Im with my 3rd companion Elder Aiono. He is a Samoan & he is good in english. He usually speaks English

to me thats why madalas akong napapalaban ng englishan dito! hehe... Anyway, the two of us are doing our very best to sharethe gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people here. We know that this is the Lords work! not us. We are just his instruments in thiswork. I know that all of us are missionaries in different ways. To my fellow Youths & Single Adults ..:) who are preparing toserve on a mission... Strive to become a missionary even before you go on a mission.Keep working with the full time missionaries.It can help increase your faith and testimony. Always find time to bear your testimony! Somewhere in your quest for spiritualknowledge, there is that leap of faith, as the philosophers call it. It is the moment when you have gone to the edge of thelight and stepped into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two. Speaking out is the testof your faith. Bear testimony of the things that you hope are true, as an act of faith. by doing this I know your testimony willgrow. It is not enough to go on a mission but the issue is becoming a missionary. Pres. Ezra Taft Benson taught. We arecommanded by God to take the gospel to all the world. That is the cause that must unite us today. Only the gospel will unitemen of all races and nationalities in peace. Only the gospel will bring joy, happiness & salvation to the human family. In bookof Alma chapter 31:5 we will learn that Preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which wasjust.Yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else which had happenedunto them. We need to help them to put off the Natural Man & become a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord. Iknow that the keystone of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the sacred atonement carried out by our Savior. It is the atonement of

Christ which makes possible for us to return to Heavenly Father by obedience to his commandments. Always remember thatlife offers two precious gifts. One is time, the other, is the freedom of choice. I know that God is not asking for our ability butour availability & if were dependable he will improve our capacity. I know that this is the Lords work and he needs us in hisvineyard to bring to pass this great work.Let us always remember the words of our living prophet Pres.Gordon B. Hinckley: Weare on the road that leads us to immortality & eternal life & today is a part of it.

Let us never forget it. I cant wait to see your beautiful & handsome faces next year!:)Mahal ko po kayong lahat & Ill be waiting for your letters soon.:)

Lovingly yours,

Elder Salapa

P 6P 6P 6P 6P 6 The Gospel ParagonsJan- Feb 2008 FEATURES

Each year a substantial

number of people become members

of the Church, largely through

missionary efforts. Last year there

were 321,385 converts comprised of

men, women, and children. This is a

large enough number, and then some,

in one single year to constitute 100new stakes of Zion. One hundred new

stakes per year. Think of it! This places

upon each of us an urgent and pressing

need to fellowship those who join our

ranks.

It is not an easy thing to

become a member of this Church. In

most cases it involves setting aside

old habits, leaving old friends and

associations, and stepping into a new

society which is different and

somewhat demanding.

With the ever-increasingnumber of converts, we must make an

increasingly substantial effort to

assist them as they find their way.

Every one of them needs three things:

a friend, a responsibility, and

nurturing with the good word of God

(Moro. 6:4). It is our duty and

opportunity to provide these things.

To illustrate, I think I would

like to share with you one of my

failures. I suppose some people think

I have never experienced failure. I

have. Let me tell you of one such

instance.

Sixty-three years ago, while

serving as a missionary in the British

Isles, my companion and I taught, and

it was my pleasure to baptize, a young

man. He was well educated. He was

refined. He was studious. I was so

proud of this gifted young man who had

come into the Church. I felt he had all

of the qualifications someday to

become a leader among our people.

He was in the course of

making the big adjustment from

convert to member. For a short period

before I was released, mine was the

opportunity to be his friend. Then I

was released to return home. He was

given a small responsibility in the

branch in London. He knew nothing of

what was expected of him. He made a

mistake. The head of the organization

where he served was a man I can best

describe as being short on love and

strong on criticism. In a rather

unmerciful way, he went after my

friend who had made the simple

mistake.

The young man left our

rented hall that night smarting and

hurt by his superior officer. He said to

himself, If that is the kind of people

they are, then I am not going back.

He drifted into inactivity.

The years passed. The war came on,

and he served in the British forces. His

first wife died. After the war he

married a woman whose father was a

Protestant minister. That did not help

his belief.

When I was in England, I

tried desperately to find him. His filecontained no record of a current

address. I came home and finally, after

a long search, was able to track him

down.

I wrote to him. He

responded but with no mention of the

gospel.

When next I was in London,

I again searched for him. The day I was

to leave, I found him. I called him, and

we met in the underground station. He

threw his arms around me as I did

around him. I had very little timebefore I had to catch my plane, but we

talked briefly and with what I think

was a true regard for one another. He

gave me another embrace before I

left. I determined that I would never

lose track of him again. Through the

years I wrote to him, letters that I

hoped would give encouragement and

incentive to return to the Church. He

wrote in reply without mentioning the

Church.

The years passed. I grew

older as did he. He retired from his

work and moved to Switzerland. On

one occasion when I was in

Switzerland, I went out of my way to

find the village where he lived. We

spent the better part of a day

togetherhe, his wife, my wife, and

myself. We had a wonderful time, but

it was evident that the fire of faith had

long since died. I tried every way I

knew, but I could not find a way to

rekindle it. I continued my

correspondence. I sent him books,

magazines, recordings of the

Tabernacle Choir, and other things for

which he expressed appreciation.

He died a few months ago.

His wife wrote me to inform me of this.

She said, You were the best friend he

ever had.

Tears coursed my cheeks

when I read that letter. I knew I had

failed. Perhaps if I had been there to

pick him up when he was first knocked

down, he might have made a different

thing of his life. I think I could have

helped him then. I think I could have

dressed the wound from which he

suffered. I have only one comfort: I

tried. I have only one sorrow: I failed.

The challenge now is

greater than it has ever been because

the number of converts is greater than

we have ever before known. A program

for retaining and strengthening the

convert wil l soon go out to all the

Church. I plead with you, brethren; I ask

of you, each of you, to become a part of

this great effort. Every convert is

precious. Every convert is a son or

daughter of God. Every convert is a

great and serious responsibility.

Moroni, long ago, spoke of these

people with whom we deal in this day

and time. Said he:

Neither did they receive

any unto baptism save they came forth

with a broken heart and a contrite

spirit, and witnessed unto the church

that they truly repented of all their

sins.

And none were received

unto baptism save they took upon

them the name of Christ, having a

determination to serve him to the

end (Moro. 6:23).

I believe, my brethren, that

these converts have a testimony of

the gospel. I believe they have faith in

the Lord Jesus Christ and know of His

divine reality. I believe they have truly

repented of their sins and have a

determination to serve the Lord.

You have come into the

world in a great season in this the work

of the Lord. No other generation has

had quite the same opportunities that

you have and will have. Begin now to

establish those goals which will bring

you happinesseducation in your

chosen skill or branch of learning,

whatever it may be; a mission in which

to surrender yourself entirely to the

Lord to do His work; future marriage in

the house of the Lord to a wonderful

and delightful companion of whom

you will be worthy because of the way

you have lived.

May the Lord bless you, my

dear young friends. May His watch care

be over you to preserve and protect and

guide you. He has a great work for you.

Do not fail Him. I leave my love and my

blessing with you in the name of Jesus

Christ, Amen.

The following are the list of some

insights and testimonies of our wardmissionaries as they

work with the elders.

MMMMMary Ann Pada

I love the spirit of teaching the restored gospel of

Jesus Christ. I work with them because I know that we are all

missionaries. It is our great responsibility to be diligent servants

of the Lord in bringing the lost sheep back to His Fold in our

own little way.

RRRRRobert delos Reyes Jr.

Working with the full time missionaries is a great opportunity and it

serves as my preparation for my upcoming full time mission. It makes my

testimony about the restored church grow strong as I work with them every

other day.

In addition, gaining spiritual knowledge and searching for these lost

folds is a great adventure for me. My testimony about the power of this great

work is becoming firmer as I perform the ordinance of baptism. And most of

all, being a friend with these folds is the best tool to make them stronger in

the church.

RRRRRodmark del Rosario

I like to work with the missionaries because

I am preparing to serve a full time mission. Also, I

learn many good things from the investigators and

from the full-time missionaries. It feels good to work

with the elders because I am able to help other

people, especially those who do not know yet the

gospel and the plan of our Heavenly Father.

RRRRRyan Neal SalapaI feel the Spirit as I work with the missionaries. It makes me happy knowing that I am a part of the

Lords work for us. I feel happy when the people that we visit feed us. It makes me feel glad when I see good

results to the investigators whom we are teaching every time I see them at the church. I love to see their

smiles despite the struggles and sacrifices that they are experiencing every Sunday such as passing by a

bridge just to be in the church on time.

I am happy to hear their testimonies. They are the reason why I continually work with the missionaries. They

are the ones who make our feet painful and also sweat all day long by walking and visiting them.. but they

are also the reason why we smile and still bear our testimony. They are the true reason why I work with the

elders.

Because of them, my faith grows and I can see the love of the Lord. Moreover, my testimony of the church isgrowing and becoming stronger. Because of them I know I can serve a full time missionand I will serve a full

time mission..yes..it is all because of them.

According to Jeffrey R. Holland, Quorum of the

12 Apostles:

Aristotle (said) that a good book must have a calculated structure

and development which gives a unified impact from beginning to

end. By this standard the Book of Mormon is not only a good book

it is a classic. In spite of the fact, it is written by a series of prophets

who had different styles and different experiences, In spite of the

fact, that it has same unabridged material mixed with other that have

been greatly condensed, In spite of the fact, that it has unique,

irregular, chronological sequences. It is a classic book Aristotles

kind of Book; unified, whole, verses fitting with verses, chapters fittingwith chapters, books fitting with books, revealed through hes chosen

prophet. (Ensign, Sept 1996 p8)

I also testify that the Book of Mormon is true, the most correct on

the earth. A lifetime pursuit, the keystone of our religion, the keystone

of our testimony, the keystone of our religion. The keystone in the

witness of our Lord and Saviour. It was also written for our family (1

Nephi 8 and D&C 128). I have read the Book of Mormon many times

and there are many spiritual experiences that happened to me. I

know that God lives and loves us so much. I am thankful that I have

the opportunity to share my testimony in this issue of The Gospel

Paragons as a ward missionary and as a family history consultant,

mission in Jesus name. Amen.

to have a very creative and

artistic friendster background

that would fit your personality,just contact him and he will do it

for free. (+_,+)...

Rodmark is the boy

next door ward missionary of

Cabuyao. He is a very soft

spoken person who always smiles

especially during our Sunday

Service. This humble brother is

also preparing to work as a full-

companions will truly love him

because he is a good cook andhe loves washing the dishes.

Very GOOD!!!

Ryan Neal is the

musician, composer, pianist and

the golden voice of the group.

This young Ryan Cayabyab is

known to be strict during choir

practice, but he is humble, and

a jolly person when working with

the elders. He is the composer

and arranger of the theme song

of the Cabuyao WardMissionaries entitled Today,

We Will Prepare. Hands off to

these two missions of the church

at the same time.

Ruel is a returned

missionary who has been a great

ward missionary. He misses life

One person thinks in their mind of a General Authority. Theother person tries to guess who they're thinking of. Each wrong answerawards the "thinker" with a candy. When the "guesser" guesses theright name, he gets the rest of the candies.

Example:

Thinker thinks of the name President Hinckley. The guesserguesses Thomas S. Monson incorrectly so the "thinker" gets that candy.

Then the "guesser" guesses L. Tom Perry. Again for being wrong, the"thinker" gets that candy. This time the "guesser" guesses PresidentHinckley so as the prize, he gets the rest of the candies!

Note:

This game helps everyone get used to the names and faces ofthe General Authorities. It's super fun too!
