Well it has been a solid week!!!!! Of
course first things first, L got baptized this Sunday and it was such a
lovely experience. The whole family came together and was super super
supportive. He is such a great kid and has such a solid future. He is going to
be a killer missionary one day. The ward was super super supportive and it was
a very spiritual experience. We were really able to see how the gospel brings
families together no matter what. It felt so good to see the happiness and joy
that L had as he was baptized and confirmed. It really has been so lovely
teaching the family every week all together and really just learning together.
The walker family is the best!
The cold weather has come and I think
it's here for good now haha so that's nice. We are enjoying it though. It feels
good haha. I'm happy not to be on bikes in Bedford though to be honest. That
was a different story, but also tons of great memories haha. We have spent tons
of time up at the University of Northampton teaching lessons and contacting.
It's such a solid place. It's basically China up there haha. We have been able
to meet some really cool Chinese friends and we are stoked to continue to teach
them! J is looking super good for his baptism and so is K!!! K had his announced in church today so it will be happening next week on the
19th. K has been facing quite a bit of opposition but has really shown
his faith by trusting that everything will work out. This is what he
said," Everything happens for a reason I believe in it strongly and the
church is true and I will continue to follow my heart" he is just
brilliant. We were able to watch the Joseph smith movie with him and it was so
powerful. My testimony is strengthened so much every time we watch it. F is
doing well. We think she is just taking more time, she has struggled a bit with
more opposition but she can overcome it. We are just really praying and fasting
for her.
After that baptism there is a stake
activity and it's like a musical night, and of course our ward out of the
entire stake was assigned to do "High School Musical" hahahaha so
that's going to be interesting. Not many people know I went to East High school
so it should be okay hahaha. We were able to have some changes to the zone so we
have a few new missionaries recently. We have 2 Elder Chongs in the zone now
and they are the coolest haha, ones from Taiwan and the other is from
Singapore. So we
have tons of fun with them and they love
missionary work so we are pumped!!!!! But over all it's been a solid week. We
have found tons of cool Chinese students but also lost a ton because they
either tell their friends about it or their family and they are then told that
Christianity is crazy and that Chinese people only believe in Buda. So that has
been sad for us as well because the friends we have found are really
amazing.
The Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in a cool
experience we had on Saturday. So we were flipping through the area book
converting some of it into our digital area Book. And we were scanning through
I felt prompted to turn back to a teaching record that was very sloppy. As we
did so we called the number and a little boy answered and said we could talk to
his mother. The mothers name was N and she seemed a bit confused but was
very kind. I asked where she was from and she said Peru! Ah haha it was so
cool. So we chatted for quite a while and she expressed how she didn't really
know what she believed anymore. But we are seeing her and her family on
Thursday with some Colombian members in our ward! So we are sooo happy and
excited. I really felt that the Lord was mindful of us and that he promoted us
to call N, as she answered, we felt so good knowing that we were obedient
to the promoting we had received.
Well I love you family! Looks like the
Utes are on a hot roll!!! Let's keep me going. Would be sweet if we could win
the PAC 12 championship. Also sounds like East is going to state so that sick!
I love you guys. You are all the best of the best,
Love you!!!!!!
