This week on Saturday we also had our Mormon Helping Hands in Bacolod. I'm wondering if I'll be in any pictures in the articles about it! Haha. But it was super fun. I got to go back to Magsungay for a day and the Service was at a Elementary School and High School.

Alma 56:10, 46-48, 55-56
10 And I did join my two thousand sons, (for they are worthy to be called sons).
46 For as I had ever called them my sons (for they were all of them very young) even so they said unto me: Father, behold our God is with us, and he will not suffer that we should fall; then let us go forth; we would not slay our brethren if they would let us alone; therefore let us go, lest they should overpower the army of Antipus.
47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.
48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
55 And now it came to pass that when they had surrendered themselves up unto us, behold, I numbered those young men who had fought with me, fearing lest there were many of them slain.
56 But behold, to my great joy, there had not one soul of them fallen to the earth; yea, and they had fought as if with the strength of God; yea, never were men known to have fought with such miraculous strength; and with such mighty power did they fall upon the Lamanites, that they did frighten them; and for this cause did the Lamanites deliver themselves up as prisoners of war.
Alma 57: 21,26,27
21 Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith it was done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto me that their mothers had taught them.
26 And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army, yea, that they should be spared while there was a thousand of our brethren who were slain. And we do justly ascribe it to the miraculous power of God, because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe—that there was a just God, and whosoever did not doubt, that they should be preserved by his marvelous power.
27 Now this was the faith of these of whom I have spoken; they are young, and their minds are firm, and they do put their trust in God continually.
So, even though that was a lot of verses. Put them all together and just think. Helaman called the 2000 Stripling Warriors his sons because they were worthy to be called that. Are we worthy to be called Sons and Daughters of God? Even if we are young and in our youth we need to follow their example and have no fear but complete trust in our Heavenly Father. We need not to doubt but to follow the words of our Elders (our parents, our Mothers and Fathers.) If we follow every command exactly that is given to us the Miraculous Power of God will bless us in our lives and our families. Then is the time that we can rejoice even more.
Are your minds firm and do you put trust in God continually?
Hope every has a great week! Love you all!
