A tribute to ELDER OMANITO:]]

Elder Silverano Omanito. “Be of Good Cheer”

I don’t know how to start this entry. Well, I am really glad to have this opportunity to post some write-ups about Elder Omanito. Few months from now he’ll be home from his sacred calling of being a full-time missionary. He is now serving at Philippines San Pablo Mission. He is from Solano District at Solano, Nueva Viscaya Region II.

Lets make it something different, Informal.

Ganito naman nagsimula ang lahat eh. I met him during our RYC(Regional Youth Conference) last 2007 I think. Then, after that I think he had signed at the back of my pampleth. I doesn’t even know panu nangyare yun, basta pag-uwe ko nakita ko nalang. Then, I was looking for someone to text. I look at my cabinet then I saw the pampleth. I’d seen his name and tried to sent him a blank message. Few minutes after, I received a message. From that day on, we become friends, (kuya and ading). Well, hindi naman kame super close until one time he introduced to me isang organization, as everybody almost know it. (Zion’s Organization). Atfirst I was a hesitant to join, two months after when I decided to come to the group and become a part of it.

To cut the story short, ayun madame akong nakatext. Pero hindi pa tapos yung story ko. Haha.. Pwede bang magspill ng mga secreto dito? Well, I guess pwede naman.. hehe.. I still remember when one Sunday afternoon, he asked me, “naj, may suncell ka?” then I replied “oo, meron”, tapos sabe nya “ok, can I call you” . tapos yun tumawag siya. Ayun nag-usap kame, nagchikahan, at hanggang umabot sa point na may tinanong siya. Haha.. oopsss! Don’t worry hindi naman yun yun. Hahah! He asked me about Ate Monique (co-founder), tinanong nya ako kung kilala ko daw bay un, abah sabe ko, oo! And guess what did he say. Well syempre medyo nasesense ko naman na ee. Haha. “she’s pretty. Right?” abah! Eh di sumagot ako. Oo! Haaha. Sabe nya, it would be hard for him na ligawan siya, naks! Tandang tanda ko pa! haha. Nag-seself-pity ba. Joke, haha. Nahihiya kasi siyang ligawan nuon si Ate Monique. Until One day, I smell something absurd, at nang binalak kong alamin. Ayun! Gotcha, tama nga ang hinala ko. Sila na nga pla. Haha.. I remember, when ate Niq went to Solano and kua Mario told me that he is really thankful for her Monica! Nauubusan na din ako ng words na sasabihin. Haha! Really he is a great man. Even nung last RYSA na inattendan nya, na kung saan madameng ngyareng mganda at ewan. Haha.. pero ang bida ang lablayf nun si kua tommy:] now, Elder Trono. Well, they are friends, good friends. Eh magkaward sila ee. Diba? Hahaha:]

Si Elder Omanito ay…

Isang mabaet na nilalang na may dahilan ang pagkasilang:] hindi ko alam kung panu ko ieexpand pa ang mga katagang yan. Ewan ko din kung bkit naging makata ang dating ng linyang yan. Haha! I know isa siya sa mga pride ng family nya at ng buong sambayanang Pilipino! Taas kamay! Go! Hahaha:]]

Si Elder Omanito ay..

Madaling mag-init ang ulo nya pag nagseselos.. pag galit siya di mo malalaman dahil hindi nya ipinapahalata, pero mapapansin mo na tahimik talaga siya.. Mabaet siya sobre more than words, mahaba pasensya nya. Ayaw nyang may ibang nasasaktan, kung pwede lang siya nalang. Magaling din siyang magsolve ng problema pero lage siyang madameng problema:] simple lang ang pangarap nya, makasal sa temple kasama ng mhal nya and magkaroon ng simplenh buhay . Favorite nya si “naruto”, lagi nyang sinasabi “be of good cheer”.

Omanito ang kani-kanilang buhay. Oh dibah. Makata! Apir! Arr! Sa aken? Para sa aken? Wala na akong masabe. Andame ko na kaseng nasabe ee. Haha.. but anyway, I testify lahat ng sinabi nila ay totoo! Akin itong nakita, at minsang pinabulay-bulayan sa aking sarili na.. ako pala ay Pilipino! Ahha.. apir. Walang konek yun. Wala na talaga akong masabi. Sa maikling panahon na nakilala ko siya sa org. napakadami kong natutunan. Isa siya sa mga taong nadun sa heartaches ko man o kasayahan ng buhay ko. Time wont erase all those memories. Dahil tayong lahat ay Pilipino. At likas sa atin ang! Ayun. Hindi ko din alam. Hahahaa.. over again. Feel this way! Everybody is thankful for him. I know for sure. I would always testify! He brought light to those people na ninais alamin ang gospel. Sa mga nabinyagan nya. Sa mga nabago nya ang perspective sa buhay at sa mga taong dinalhan nya ng pag-asa na muling makapagbago! Tunay siyang isang dakilang kaibigan. Isang masunuring anak sa kanyang mga magulang, mabuting halimbawa sa kanyang kapatid at isang pinakamamahal ni Heavenly Father. They cant take that away from him!

and be inlove too:]

very cool:}



-hGSM:]

Love Me, But Don’t Show Me
These two weeks together have been the sweetest of my life,
My hearts prayer was answered when you agreed to be my wife.
Your love's like a cancer, girl, cuz I got no resistance,
There's only one answer girl: You got to keep your distance!

Love me, but don't show me.
I want our wedding night to be right.
Miss me, but don't kiss me.
If we start to makin' out girl,
You won't be wearin' white.

You make me feel so handsome, like a shining dark stallion,
I love the way you wear your young women's medallion.
You know girl, I love you, but I hope you comprehend,
This body is a Temple - and you don't got no recommend.

Chorus

I will see you Dressed in white without falter.
Our first love's kiss will be over the altar.

After each date with you, I'll fight with all my might,
To treat you like a gentleman, and shake your hand goodnight.
I'll breathe in your perfume; it's fillin' up my lungs,
But don't you even start to try to use the gift of tongues.

5 And afaith, bhope, ccharity and dlove, with an eeye single to the fglory of God, gqualify him for the work.
6 Remember faith, avirtue, knowledge, btemperance, cpatience, dbrotherly ekindness, fgodliness, charity, ghumility, hdiligence.

Missionary Service

Earl C. Tingey, “Missionary Service,” Ensign, May 1998, 39Image

The excitement and thrill of being a full-time missionary is one of the greatest blessings a young man of the Aaronic Priesthood can aspire to.


Tonight I speak to all young men of the Aaronic Priesthood preparing to serve missions, all full-time missionaries, and all fathers and grandfathers who motivate and prepare young men to serve.

Several months ago I visited Far West, Missouri. At one time it was the home and place of refuge for three to four thousand members of the Church. Today the homes are gone and only fields of grass remain. In July 1838 the Prophet Joseph Smith received a revelation that the Twelve were to depart Far West on April 26, 1839, to commence missionary work in Great Britain. 1

In the Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, we read: “When that revelation was given, all was peace and quietude, comparatively, in that land. But when the time came for the twelve apostles to fulfil that revelation, the Saints had all been driven out. …

“President Young asked the twelve who were with him—’What shall we do with regard to the fulfilment of this revelation?’ ” 2 Some of the Brethren said that the Lord would accept the intent of the Twelve and that the Lord would not require their lives to fulfill the revelation.

Wilford Woodruff continues: “The Spirit of the Lord rested upon the twelve, and they said—’The Lord God has spoken, and we will fulfil that revelation and commandment’; and that was the feeling of President Young and of those who were with him.”

The Twelve, in obedience to the revelation, departed for their missions. Wilford Woodruff was so sick he could hardly stand on his feet. Heber C. Kimball wrote that Brigham Young was so sick that he was unable to walk a distance of 30 rods without assistance. He left his wife and children lying sick in bed. When he left home, Brigham Young was wearing a long quilt over his shoulders because he had no coat. 3

On August 28, 1852, five years after the Saints arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young convened a special conference where approximately 100 men were called to serve missions to the far corners of the earth. The charge given the missionaries by George A. Smith of the Twelve was as follows: “The missions we will call for during this conference, are generally, not to be very long ones; probably from 3 to 7 years will be as long as any man will be absent from his family.” 4

Today, our missionaries do not serve or depart for their missions under such extreme circumstances. They go with relative comfort and ease, appropriately dressed, adequately fed, and travel by jet airplane.

Currently over 58,000 full-time missionaries serve in 136 nations and territories. By July there will be 331 missions. The excitement and thrill of being a full-time missionary is one of the greatest blessings a young man of the Aaronic Priesthood can aspire to.

Most missionaries receive special training in one of the 15 missionary training centers throughout the world. The largest, in Provo, currently has approximately 3,000 missionaries in residence. I thought you might be interested in several statistics shared with me during a recent visit to the MTC. In one month the missionaries consume over 5,000 pounds of dry cereal. That is over 2 1/2 tons. Of that amount, 2,200 pounds is Lucky Charms. Lucky Charms is a popular breakfast dry cereal. Maybe one of the best preparations for being a missionary is to eat Lucky Charms. For you parents who try to focus your young men’s eating habits on what you may consider is more nutritious food, you might be aware that in one month missionaries consumed only 16 pounds of All Bran.

Young men of the Aaronic Priesthood, may I suggest six ways you can prepare for your mission:

First, secure your individual testimony of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Know for yourself that you hold the priesthood and that Jesus Christ is your Savior.

Second, study and ponder the Book of Mormon to the point where you can declare that it was received by Joseph Smith from the angel Moroni and that the Prophet Joseph translated the book from the golden plates.

Third, be clean and pure. To those who have slipped, repentance is available if you will approach your bishop and seek his help and counsel.

Fourth, pay your tithes and offerings so that you can bear witness of this great principle of the gospel. Save money so that you can serve a mission. A mission is not free, and each missionary should expect to financially contribute towards the cost of his mission.

Fifth, learn how to work. Be willing to get up early in the morning, work hard all day, and retire on time. As you prepare for your mission, learn how to work.

And sixth, serve as a home teacher in your ward to know the joy of service.

For all full-time missionaries, I have several suggestions:

First, open your mouth. The Lord tells us, “And thou must open thy mouth at all times, declaring my gospel with the sound of rejoicing.” 5

Speak to everyone: shopkeepers, passengers riding buses, people on streets, and everyone you meet.

Second, work hard. Missionary work results in many rejections. It is easy to be discouraged. “And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts.” 6

Third, be obedient, faithful, and true. Missionaries serve in companionships for protection. A missionary best protects his companion when he is loyal to the Lord and helps his companion. By keeping the missionary rules, you gain the freedom of having the Spirit assist you.

Fourth, teach and testify. “And ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God.” 7

And fifth, when you complete your mission, maintain the spirit, appearance, and trust of a missionary. Brigham Young once said to the returned missionary: “Come home with your heads up. Keep yourselves clean, from the crowns of your heads to the soles of your feet; be pure in heart.” 8

To the fathers and grandfathers of Aaronic Priesthood young men:

Motivate and encourage your sons and grandsons to serve missions.

Provide a righteous home and an atmosphere of peace and stability where young men can be reared and prepared to serve.

Set a personal example by keeping the commandments. Pay tithes and offerings, attend sacrament meetings, read the scriptures, and have family home evenings so that your sons will be prepared for their missions.

As couple missionaries, you and your wife should prepare to serve when that time comes. We need many, many more couple missionaries.

The joys and blessings of serving a full-time mission are so personally sacred, they are hard to express adequately. Thirty-five years after I served my first mission, I received a letter from a family whom I had taught but did not baptize. The letter shared that their family of four little children whom I once knew now consisted of four temple marriages, three full-time missionaries, three bishops, a Relief Society president, and a dozen grandchildren maturing and developing in the gospel. You can well imagine the thrill and joy I received knowing that I had helped to find them and to teach them the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In conclusion, may I testify of the blessings of missionary service. Last year, my father passed away at age 88. As a young man, he was called on a mission during the Depression, when few were able to serve. It was hard and difficult. He always said that his decision to serve a mission was the best decision he ever made. When he died, he left 10 children, 9 living; 56 grandchildren; and 116 great-grandchildren. Of his posterity, 32 served full-time missions and 15 spouses who married into the family had served missions, resulting in 47 full-time missionaries or almost 100 years of full-time missionary work. All of this resulted, in part, because one man served a mission. I shall be forever grateful that my father served a mission and that I was motivated and taught to follow his example.

I bear witness of this great privilege we all have in the Church—to be missionaries. Inherent in our responsibility of holding the priesthood is to be a missionary. I pray that we will all fulfill that obligation we have to the Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
