待會母親節快樂 - Week 87

 

Today was a pretty good week I guess. I'm running out of time . It's also very excited at the same time. So far the mission has been a fire experience! I have learned and grown so much! 

Last monday we went finding at night and had a lesson. That night we had an old guy who was like here let me buy you drinks. So he bought us drinks and a waffle thing. It was so kind of him!

Tuesday we had district council then we also had interviews. Like I always say interviews are the best! I always feel do loved and learn alot. We then came home and had a lesson with MR TONG 童先生. He is super funny guy. He always asks good question and stuff. After had a short lesson with this guy because he was late. Then a pass off lesson with the sisters. We passed off our friend Jamie. She is so lit and made us all s'mores. She also brought her friend. We had a great lesson. Then another lesson with our friend Panda. We shared restoration and it was great! Three more lessons after that that went well aswel. a super fire day!

Wednesday we first went finding in 安坑. My favorite place here. We stoped at a park and talked to this mom who was super nice. She bought us drinks from the vending machine. So kind of her. People here are so kind. People don't really like or accept the gospel but they are super kind. We found a cool lady who came to church this week too. She is fun too. We had some lessons and English group. It was all pretty fun.

Thursday we found a lady who came to church. We had another lesson with MR TONG. It was great ofc. We then went finding for most the night. It was pretty decent. Then we had lesson and coordination meeting. After we had our new member bryan. He opened his mission call! It's so cool Seeing a recent convert who is a high school student want to go and serve a mission. Such a special event. He is called to Adelaide Australia. So excited for him!!!

Friday we found and had lunch with a friend. He talked about how 辛苦(hard) it is to be in the army back then. He only had 4 hours of sleep a day for 2 years. That's crazy.

Later we were finding and ran into a recent convert who haven't been to church or incontact for awhile. She came to church so that's a cool miracle. 

At night we had a lesson with our homie Huang YiCheng.  He is doing great and is planned to be baptised next week! We then had a 突然(unexpected) lesson and it was fire!

Saturday was a 辛苦 day. We didn't find like anyone friends. We had an awesome morning lesson. It went well! Basically we just did a lot of finding and it was rough. Oh well. We had dinner snd got some free ice cream from the boss. So that made it all the better haha. 

Sunday was a pretty good day. We had a lesson before Sacrament meeting. Then we had like 5 of our friends come. Isn't as good as the previous weeks but it was great! Also one of the new members. She is so awesome. She has a newborn baby and brought the baby to church. One of the members helped give her baby a blessing. It was super special and sweet. The gospel truly is so joyful! We also had a 外國人 from salt lake come. Turns out his older brother teaches at skyridge. The woodshop teacher. I forgot his last name but that was so cool! So much a small world. Definitely a tender mercy from God. After church we did all our studies planning and contacting. Then we did finding and after some calls/meetings then also coordination meeting. We cover two wards. Overall a great sabbath day. 

Today we went out and hang out with a member then after we had lunch with some other members. Some of the elderly of our ward you could say. It was very delicious ! Other than that nothing much. Our pdays will probably kinda be boring the transfer but it's ok I guess. 

But yeah. I'm very excited to keep going. Sad and excited to be done. (I'm not trunky吧) 

I have seen so much progress in myself and i know all the hard experiences are to help me and make me know how important the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

I will share some recently scriptures I liked

Doctrine and Covenants 121:7–8
7 My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; 
8 And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.

Doctrine and Covenants 46:9
9 For verily I say unto you, they are given for the benefit of those who love me and keep all my commandments, and him that seeketh so to do; that all may be benefited that seek or that ask of me, that ask and not for a sign that they may consume it upon their lusts.

Doctrine and Covenants 24:8
8 Be apatient in afflictions, for thou  have many; but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days.

John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

The Scriptures are full of amazing truths. I'm am greatful that Christ has overcame the world. Greatful that I may receive peace nd comfort through Christ and His atonement. I am grateful blessings come for those who keep the commandments and those who seeketh so to do so!

Love you all,
