Another solid week here in Duston. Time is
flying that's for sure. Sometimes I just can't even believe it. It freaks me
out haha. But life is good. I'm happy. The mission is treating me well. We have
seen some success this week in the small things I think. But we are still
pressing on and having a good time. It's been getting colder and colder each day.
We are scraping ice off our windows in the morning which I love haha, every
morning I hope to wake up to snow but it never happens. Hopefully one of these
days. It's defiantly cold enough. J and K are doing super super well.
K received the priesthood this last week at church! He is brilliant. He
bore his testimony in church and is just a pioneer for his family. J is also
a legend. He is learning so much and has sacrificed so much time even with all
of his studies. They both seem happy and they really are seeing that the
happiness comes from living the gospel.
We are teaching a solid Chinese friend named
A! He's a legend as well haha. He is from mainland China and he loves the
gospel. He is learning so quickly but also has tons and tons of questions. He
is really willing to act on his faith and do his best. He is such a funny guy.
We love him tons! It's so crazy. I never would have thought I would be teaching
so many Chinese people here. I love it. We have a cool miracle with the Christmas
initiative! It is so powerful. I love it so much! We are able to use our iPads
with Bluetooth speakers and play it on the street. It reminds me of last year
and how spiritual it was and how happy it made people. I love it. It's truly
inspired. The Christmas initiatives will really be so special to me for the
rest of my life because of the impact that they have had on my mission! So
anyways, we stopped this Romanian woman named "I" and she loved the video.
She ended up coming to church and reading the Book of Mormon in Romanian and
she loves it! So that was so cool!
Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in "I"! We
felt inspired to talk to her and it was so lovely to see that she was prepared.
I have been finding it hard at times to teach people because of the language
barrier with all the different cultures and languages here. But I've felt the
Lords Hand in the ability we have to share everything in different languages
with people on the street. I know that the Lord is mindful of all of us. It's
the best! I love it.
Sounds like it's dumping in Utah. Hahaha
finally winter has come. Maybe it'll be a La Niña year. Which would be pretty
sweet. I love you!!! Have a good week!
No short cuts
