Well this week has been good! We haven't had
much happen that's noteworthy or mentionable haha. But I'll try and think of
some things. It's crazy that Ben is 16. Oh my hahaha that seriously blows my
mind. He's gonna be driving around the neighborhood like the good old days.
Probably shouldn't let him drive the bat mobile around, it's a pretty known car
in the neighborhood, for good and bad hahaha. But I guess it'll be okay. I hope
all went well in Las Vegas with the lax tourny. I hope we played well. I'm sure
we did. Let me know how it went. How many games did we play? Anyways, let me
know. Hey it's a leap year, this won't happen for another 4 years so that's
cool haha.
So this week we didn't have very many
lessons. Just a couple with some recent converts and less actives and one with
one of our investigators named B. She is super cool. You can probably
guess where she is from, haha yes China, she is very scientific and she has
some crazy good questions but she had a super super cool experience last week
the night after she met with us. We committed her to pray and to ask our
Heavenly Father for help and to just show her that he was there and that he
loves her. Well that day she had some hard things happen that she was
struggling with and that night she said she prayed and when she woke up the
next morning she said all of the problems she had were resolved and that she
felt so much happier. We testified to her that she had received help from
Heavenly Father and that he does love her. We extended a baptismal date for the
27th of March and she said she would try her best and that she wants to. But
it's going to take a lot of work on her part and on ours. But she can totally
make that day. We are also teaching D who is really really awesome. He has
a baptismal date for the 12th of March and he is super excited. He loves living the gospel he is just super busy with work but he is
willing to sacrifice a lot to come to church.
Well nothing else really happened this week.
We had a sweet Chinese dinner with at I's house. I ate some strange food but
it was a lovely experience haha, I feel bad for Isaac (his buddy serving in Irvine, CA Chinese speaking) to be honest but he's
probably used to it by now. I'm not. But it was really fun. It's so cool to see
all these recent converts and how strong they are in the gospel already. They all
have such powerful testimonies that they can take back home with them. The
Church hasn't quite made it to all of China haha, but we know that he prepares
another way to take it there and it is through all these great members. It's
such a testimony to me and I really do hope that "I" can take the gospel home
with her one day and share it with her family.
Lords Hand
I have seen the lord’s hand this week in the
sun coming out every single day!!! Even if it's just for a little second it is
so good! We even had a day when the sun came out and stayed out all day and it
warmed up a bit and it was so nice. I love how happy it made Elder H and
I. We were given a greater motivation to work even harder and we found some
cool people and it was just awesome. Everyone seems to just lighten up when the
sun comes out as well. It's going to be a good P day today too! The sun is out!
I have also seen the lord’s hand in the recent converts and their commitment to
the gospel. They really are pioneers and it's so so amazing to see.
I love you guys! So Much! I've met a few lax
players here haha. I wish
I could play with them and show them up but
it's okay haha. I hope all is well! Love you!
No short cuts
