The Seminary and Institute of Religion teachers of Bacolod South of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints recently had their regular training and meeting with Brother Sonny Deyro in tandem with his wife Sister Cristie B. Deyro at La Carlota Meetinghouse.

The focus of the training is on the Church doctrinal mastery as well expounded by Chad H. Webb, administrator for Seminary and Institute of Religion in the video shown. It is pointed out that spiritual knowledge becomes effective when the scripture mastery introduced and the principles learned, are merged.

It is also stressed there that every question in life has a bearing in the teaching of Jesus Christ. Thus every question has the answer if there's faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Thus, the opportunity to help the students of Seminar and Institute necessitates the power of the faith that gives the strength as what the scripture says "walk not faint" as read by Brother Deyro.

Institute of Religion: Anchor to Gospel of Jesus Christ

In the recent Seminary and Institute of Religion devotional, Brother Sonny Deyro, Bacolod South Seminary and Institute coordinator of The  Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stressed in his message to the students, teachers, parents and Church leaders the importance of scriptures and the intelligence gained from such study.

He said that the records of attendance in Seminary and Institute are recorded as a part of everyone's Book of Life. The "transcript" of every student is "kept" forever. Thus, he urged that the classes should be well attended for the knowledge they learned is for their advantage.

He illustrated this by citing Doctrine and Covenants 130:18 - 19:

"Whatever principle of a intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more a knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the c advantage in the world to come."

Who Kills Garkitty?

We miss our fave cat, Garkitty that passed away early this morning due to poison. Those culprits are so lucky for we're not able to identify them. Hope Garkitty would find justice sooner or later. As of now, we are facing a blank wall.

How Garkitty Got His Name

It is more than fun of giving names to three little kittens sired by our controversial, domestic cat, Garfol.

The names of three little kittens were chosen through a draw lot. All the names suggested by myLot users were printed, cut and rolled. They were placed in the smile plastic mug. And the names were picked by Inday Sophie and our youngest son as suggestion made by rebel_woman06 @SIMPLYD that it is best that the pet owner be the one to name them like your youngest son and Sophie.

Inday Sophie drew the names of two female kittens and they're as follows Garkitty by ilocosboy and Blinkin by Nanette Piotrowski. Our youngest son drew the name for the male kitten and it's Yakko by RealIolo.
