Treat others with Respect
Yes, it's true, everyone is biased based on his understanding and opinions. But it is also true that you can't just treat someone and judge them according to their beliefs without knowing how it went in their lives. Everyone has the right to be heard and deserves respect.
Branch Gathering during a Baptism Program

Only God can Judge Me
Only God can Judge me and no one else.
If you think you are good enough to debate me in my standards;
Better think again if you don’t know life.

Sacred Homes, Sacred Temple
 |
| Conference Message by Elder Gary E. Stevenson General Conference April 2009 |
During Christ visit on his other sheep or the Nephites and Lamanites nation. Why would the Saviour instruct the people to "Go into" their "Homes" in preparation for the next day of his instruction? Why not in their synagogue or church, or to go to their prophets or Leaders? Perhaps they could receive a good instruction to them, but why Homes? (reference below)
Behold, now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words he looked round about again on the multitude, and he said unto them: Behold, my time is at hand.
2 I perceive that ye are weak, that ye cannot understand all my words which I am commanded of the Father to speak unto you at this time.
3 Therefore, go ye unto your homes, and ponder upon the things which I have said, and ask of the Father, in my name, that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow, and I come unto you again.
4 But now I go unto the Father, and also to show myself unto the lost tribes of Israel, for they are not lost unto the Father, for he knoweth whither he hath taken them.
3 Nephi 17:1-4
So why Homes? Elder Gary E. Stevenson on the same conference message he says this citing Bible Dictionary under the word Temple (pg. 781) -
Under the definition of “Temple” in the Bible Dictionary, we read the following: “It is the most holy of any place of worship on the earth,” followed by this insightful statement: “Only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness.” For me this suggests a sacred relationship between the temple and the home. Not only can we turn the doors of our homes to the temple, or the house of the Lord; we can make our homes a “house of the Lord.”
Christ knows which place is more holy or sacred than any other. The question is -
- Was Our Homes reverent enough or was it a perfect place to receive God's blessings equal to temple's environment?
Elder Gary E. Stevenson added the same question and he says this -
Wherever your home may be and whatever its configuration, the application of eternal gospel principles within its walls is universal. Let’s begin. Imagine that you are opening your front door and walking inside your home. What do you see, and how do you feel? Is it a place of love, peace, and refuge from the world, as is the temple? Is it clean and orderly? As you walk through the rooms of your home, do you see uplifting images which include appropriate pictures of the temple and the Savior? Is your bedroom or sleeping area a place for personal prayer? Is your gathering area or kitchen a place where food is prepared and enjoyed together, allowing uplifting conversation and family time? Are scriptures found in a room where the family can study, pray, and learn together? Can you find your personal gospel study space? Does the music you hear or the entertainment you see, online or otherwise, offend the Spirit? Is the conversation uplifting and without contention? That concludes our tour. Perhaps you, as I, found a few spots that need some “home improvement”—hopefully not an “extreme home makeover.”
Whether our living space is large or small, humble or extravagant, there is a place for each of these gospel priorities in each of our homes.

Thank you for visiting my article and have a Great Day. This is a re-emphasize post on my last article about "Why Home?"
Teaching in the Savior’s Way: Love Those You Teach
Everything the Savior did throughout His earthly ministry was motivated by love—His love for His Father and His love for all of us. Through the power of the Holy Ghost, we can be filled with this same love as we strive to be true followers of Christ (see John 13:34–35; Moroni 7:48; 8:26). With Christlike love in our hearts, we will seek every possible way to help others learn of Christ and come unto Him. Love will be the reason and motivation for our teaching.

Ministering and it's aftermath
You might find yourself wondering what life has been like for me as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how the Church reaches out to those who aren’t actively involved. I’d like to share some of my personal experiences and reflections, which I believe highlight both my journey in the Church and the Church's ministering program.
Palauig Ward Conference: Afterwards
After the ward conference, we stayed behind for an Audit and Family History research. We have our lunch and have a little break, afterward, we begin doing some family history.
Random Picture: A fish in a bowl
The other day, as I got home from work, I saw this fish in a bowl and Jasher said that he caught it where he used to find fish in some other places he used to play with, and he told me that he got it while exploring other sea creatures. So I took a picture of it for reference 'cause he planned to eat it.

Meme: Family History
This was actually a post that I made about 2019 and found it where I laugh sometimes when I realized how poor this meme is. Anyway, the post can be found at -
Here is the image that I posted here and you can grab it anytime if you want to. The message is actually simple and also about the movie titled Zootopia which has caused political and racism issues for some time after the movie was released.

To our Dearest Friend: Sting of Death no More
Dear friend, whom we have known for a long time, may you rest in peace, brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during this difficult time.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

| Doors of Death by Russell M. Nelson April 1992 General Conference |
Loving relationships continue beyond the doors of death and judgment. Family ties endure because of sealings in the temple. Their importance cannot be overstated.
