For the first time we got to spend a whole day with our General Authorities visiting our area. It is now Elder Christofferson's turn and Elder Uceda who are here doing an area review.
The trip to Corregidor got cancelled because of bad weather so we went to intramuros instad. We learned about the history of the Philippines and later we were able to attend dinner. What a blessing it feels not to be excluded for once. This is the first time ever that we are invited to attend dinner with the Area Authorities and what a tender mercy that is. All thanks to sister Uceda who needed a translator.
I can't help to compare the way it was when we lived in the Dominican Republic. Elder Wilford Andersen, and Elder Cornish worked very closed with Daniel and really appreciated him as another counselor so we were invited to attend all of their meetings and that has not been the case here in the Philippines. There is no protocol of what to do with the DTA it is all up to the Area President.
I am grateful for this day and blessing because I know it probably won't happen again unless we get a new Area President that is more inclusive.
Con amor,
Vero
