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.

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,

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

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

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.

Robert, who also goes
by BJ, our assistant ward mission
leader, is the bishop-looking
ward missionary. One cannot
deny that the way he stands and
walks is really a young bishop.
BJ is a cyber wizard and a very
good lay out artist. So if you want
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-
time missionary. All his
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
you Ryan Neal!!! :)
Mia Grace is known to
be the Goldilocks of our group.
This sweet sister has a very
beautiful long curly hair. You will
love her as she leads us in singing
hymns in the congregation
because she is our ward
chorister.
Sister Alice is one of
the faithful ward missionaries in
the ward. Though busy in her
house as a mother, she alwaysfinds time to work with her
partner in teaching the new
member lessons to the new
converts.
Sister Loterte is the
lola and nanay of the Cabuyao
ward missionaries. She enjoys
teaching recent converts with
her partner, Sister Alice.
Another thing that makes her
busy is genealogy work for her
ancestors. She serves as aninspiration to all of us in doing
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
in the mission field, which is why
he finds time to work with the
elders. This brother is also our
ward clerk and he enjoys
magnifying his calling. If you
need a dance instructor who willteach you a ballroom dancing,
he is always available.
Bonifacio, or Boni for
short, was just recently called as
our assistant ward clerk. He is
also preparing to serve a full-
time mission. He also loves
motorcycle. He is the funny hunk
of the group.
Maan is the Ate of the
Paragons. Dont ever knock on
her door during weekdaysbecause she is sleeping all day
long. J This gal loves to be very
busy and enjoys chatting with
her friends. She is the youth
Sunday School teacher, Relief
Society teacher every second

Objective of the Game:
To win the most candies!
Items Needed:
A copy of the center pagefrom the most recent conferenceissue of the Ensign... the page with
the prophet and apostles' pictures . And a bag of small candies suchas mini M&M's, peanuts, marshmallows, etc.
Preparation:
Place a candy on each prophet and apostles' face.
Directions:
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!
