Did i tell you guys about my religion? i guess not!!! before we proceed to my next story this will be the heading of this story, This heading will tell you how I met my church and my Husband... first when i was a child, I was raised and all of my siblings by our grandmother as a good catholic, She always go to church every Sunday morning at 5:00, so its kinda hard for us to wake-up because we were so young and also a sleepyheads!!! but We have no choice but to wake-up and go with her. so lets back in our topic, so this is the present, i was in LDC before and free in anything that i like to do. But then i don't know why i decided to stay in my mom's house because before, I was staying in my second oldest sister, Her name is Aires. So one time i decided to stay and live with my mom which is "nanay" in tagalog, i don't know whats on my mind in that moment. Its just i decided soooo quickly. And the the next morning my nanay went to Quezon Province in our hometown just visits her sisters and brother, so i was the only one left in nanay's house. And then one day I was sleeping in the sofa because just got home from my work and so tired, and I heard someone knocking and saying "tao po!!' and then i went outside and I saw two men outside in our gate, one is Filipino and the other one is white, they are wearing a white polo,a black pants, a neck tie and their had a name tag or an ID something like that and when i look at it and read it, i think i knew who they are, their name was written on it, and they are the ELDERs of the church of JESUS CHRIST of LATTER DAY SAINTS a.k.a MORMONS, that's the first thing that came to my mind, they are here to preach me, and i dont want that, so I told them and lied to them that I'm just a maid and need to go home because its my day off!!! I know I'm jerk, but what can i do? I'm shock!!! And that is the first time we've met... And the next day when I got home I saw a two missionaries again talking to my family, they are all in the living room with my nanay,my sister sarah, brother paul and josh. they are all laughing and singing. So i decided to join with them, i think it will be fun to join and to meet the missionaries and also to apologize. I told them that i lied yesterday ,that i am not a maid but one of the daughter of Sis Redith or my nanay. Nanay, sarah, paul and josh has been a member of the church for almost five years so they really know about this two missionaries. So i apologized and things work out so easy. So i met them and know their names,the other one is Elder Paciente and the white man is Elder Arnn, He's an American, He's really nice and handsome too... So now I'm interesting to learn about what they preaching and also I'm interesting in Him... So they teach us with my another brother Jc and every week we have a FHE or a Family Home Evening so theyre always come to visist us and its fun... really fun!!! and everything went good and easy... and so we decided to be a member of that church or be one of the mormons, but first dont think guys that because of Him thats why I'll be baptize, But because of "HIM" our heavenly father.,there something in my heart that keeps pushing me and have to desire to be baptize in the true church, and I always pray that God can give me strenght to do thy will... and thats It!!! i am no longer a Catholic but now I'm a LATTER DAY SAINTS... i need to give up my bad habits and of course for me that was so easy. God help me to make it possible right???!!! But then time is passing down and i felt that I'm falling in love with him.and I think he is too. Oh no!!! that is against the rules!!!
My baptism is really near and I chose him to baptize me, I'm so really nervous, i don't have any idea how they do that. i mean the baptism???. And then He saw me that i was worried and nervous he talked to me and said " it will be okay, just let the holy ghost guide you and everything will be okay"...That was a pretty good convincing talk. And thats it, I got baptized... For me its overwhelming...I was not happy in my whole life before, but today,I felt my eternal happiness after I got baptized. And It is wonderful!....
In six months that Elder Arnn stayed here in Naga 1st. I think I really got to know him very well. I never forget the day that he told me the truth and surprised to heard it, It happened on Aug 28,2008 in my birthday, I asked him to bring me a cake, a chocolate cake but i was joking at that moment but then i was surprised that he has that box in his hands and i knew it,.. IT WAS A CAKE!!!! I love cake... I was totally falling in love with this man..And one thing that put into my mind that He's the man who keeps his promise... He's amazing!!! Time is passing and i know one day he will say " goodbye " to me. And He's mission was over, and our friendship will be over too, i guess I was wrong, He went home to Idaho which is his mom and brother are excited to see him,. Our communication is still going strong and our relationship are getting stronger and stronger, and months goes by, And one time we decided to get marry...He returned here in Philippines to asked me to marry Him and also to be official... I know all men would like to hear this word, The word "YES!!!" and I said yes to him and we got married in states where Elder Arnn spent his childhood life there...
Actually he's real name is Mason J. Arnn but I will stop calling Him Elder Arnn in my story, because now were married and for almost 2 years we knew each other I used to call him "baby"... sweet me:). This is one of our engagement pictures and one of my favorite photo of us...
And our wedding picture... It was a beautiful experienced for us to be married in TEMPLE...
My destiny and my eternal companion " I love you BAby!!!"
