Hello Everyone! this week was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOT!
And apparently this week it is supposed to just rain like crazy. So it
should be pretty fun.
Sister Huang stopped answering our calls, so
hopefully it isn't because she doesn't have interest. And the lady
that came to church last week has a crazy work schedule, and she never
knows when she will have to work so it has been hard to set up with
her. And we didn't really find anyone new this week.
But a miracle
that happened was on Monday my tire like somehow ripped and got
wrecked, but the people at the bike place just gave me a new tire for
free. It was so awesome, cause tires are pretty expensive.
Although this week was another tough one, It has also been a really
good one. During one personal study I felt inspired to read in Chapter
1 of PMG [Preach My Gospel] about a successful missionary.
Some of the things that stuckout to me were
1. In the first line it talks about how your success is measured by commitment
2. It is our duty to teach clearly and give people a fair chance whether to accept of reject
3. Even when we are doing everything we can, we will still face disappointments, but we
will be proud, and we know the Lord is proud.
Even with the recent struggles, I feel that our commitment has been strengthened.
And we have been working hard on trying to really get to know people in
contacts, and then see what part of the gospel that we can relate to
them. And something that I think I have struggled with a little bit on
my mission is truly trying to seek the Lord's will and then follow it.
But I know that as I work harder on doing that, the Lord will open up
doors for us that we could have never found on our own.
We were able to eat dinner this week with Tom and Reagan. We were
able to also have a really good conversation with them. We were able
to answer most of their questions, and relate it all to the Book of
Mormon. Which led up really well to our final invite to them, which is
just to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, and receive their
own answer from God. Overall it was a really good lesson, and I could
definitely fell the Spirit with us helping to answer their questions.
Also this week we were able to have an awesome ward missionary
activity. There is a Liahona article about a ward that made banana
bread, and then they went out and delivered it and tried to share the
Gospel. So we made cookies with our ward and then we went out and
tracted with our ward members and tried to share the cookies and the
Gospel. Our ward members were really open to just sharing their
testimonies at these peoples doors, and they weren't really nervous or
awkward or anything. I think it was a really good activity to help our
members see that if they can share their testimonies with these random
people, then they can definitely do it with their friends!
