Completed Two-Year Mission With Honor

Completed his 2-year missionary work, our youngest son, Elder Gilbor D. Camporazo prepared himself to go home after serving in the Butuan Philippines Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) of all trials, challenges while doing the proselyting, Gospel teaching and baptizing converts.

“Welcome back Tito,” quips Toto Bryan, one of Elder Camporazo’s favorite nephews, when I asked him if what is his reaction when his uncle Toto Jun comes home.

“Your son is about to leave the mission and (will) join you in a happy reunion,” wrote Butuan Philippines Mission President Mernard P. Donato to us as Elder Camporazo’s parents.

“You can be proud of the service he has rendered as a missionary,” concluded President Donato's letter sent to us through a postpaid mail.

The True Essence of Recognition

Late this afternoon, I was busy preparing for our recognition and closing exercises for my latest school, Cubay Elementary School tomorrow. What a coincidence! I was able to retrieve from my old file my recognition message to our outstanding and honor pupils of Yubo Elementary School in their 40th recognition program 5 years ago.

The School Principal

I decided to post it here. Since I don't want to miss every word of it, so I am posting here the entire message. To wit:

All of us is every proud of you as mentors and your parents too for what you have achieved in your own academic endeavor. And what we are doing today is an act of concern, an act of honor, and an act of love of your exemplary works and deeds academically for your parents, for your family, for your school, for your community, for your country, for yourself, and foremost for your loving Heavenly Father.

Functional Definition of Recognition

In this manner, I may define recognition as a thanksgiving for Heavenly Father's love - an unfeigned love, unconditional, sincere kind of love. Therefore, it may stand for living an exemplary life for other's to emulate just what Jesus did for you. It is very difficult to do it but it is possible. It may be referred to obeying God's commandments in order for you to receive God's divine blessings and protection from any untoward eventualities. It may also be leading to venerating or giving due profound respect and reverence to God's divinity, well-being and creation  And it may finally be a commitment of enduring to the end by overcoming trials, tribulations, afflictions, and challenges in life in any form, be it small or big, and finally coming out conqueror and successful.
