Friends!!! Family!!! Loved ones!!! I love you all soooo much!!!
Experiences:
So. Miracle time. There is this family who's son is not a member, and we've been trying to meet with them for so long, but the mom has always said she would just text us back. We decided to call her this week, and she finally said that we could come over and teach them. It was so awesome!!!! It was a short and simple lesson about how God is our loving Heavenly Father, but it's simple truths like these that people just need to hear sometimes.
Another friend that we are working with has a hard time believing in the things we teach him. But this week we went over and taught him about faith in Ether 12. Me and Sister Shay felt the spirit so strong!!!
Sister Shay:
I love her. The other say we tried speaking Chinese the whole day and ahaha can I just say that we love English? It doesn't make our head hurt to bad or anything and it's doable, but this is how Sister Shay described it. "I feel like we are in jail and it's like when you want to communicate with each other but there's a glass between us 2 and we have to pick up the telephone to talk to each other." Lol that accurately describes how we are feeling. Well, Sister Shay is fluent in Chinese and it's me who needs to improve. Pray for us.
Simple truths:
There's some simple truths I want to share.
-the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and I know it is the word of God.
-we have a living prophet, President Nelson, who receives revelation for this church and I sustain him.
-the Sabbath day is a day we set aside for the Lord. Like the temple is a sacred place, the sabbath day is a sacred time.
-when we keep the commandments, God will bless us. Yep. Doesn't get much more complicated than that.
Before my mission, I knew these truths, but I didn't understand the true importance of them. Now that I am starting to understand them better, I am so thankful for my parents for living the gospel and giving me this foundation! They live all or this and have been such a great example for me. My mission President gave this talk about living the gospel in our homes in conference and I love it!!!
