Well remember how last week was just super super hot, this week was
like equal to that but in terms of rain. One night Elder Huang and I
were biking under an overpass, and as soon as we got under it, we were
pedaling under water... so that was fun. I have realized it is only
as a missionary that you can be biking in the pouring rain and just be
laughing and having a good time.
But the rain did help us this week, because we were talking to this
girl that was just getting ready to leave, and then it started pouring
rain so we went under the awning thing, and we were able to teach her
a lesson. Her name was Winnie like as in Winnie the Pooh, and she said
that she would have more time to meet next week, so we will see.
We had Zone Conference this week and we focused a lot on the
Doctrine of Christ, and especially how us as missionaries need to be
living the Doctrine of Christ (especially daily repentance), that we
will be able to teach it more simply and powerfully to our
investigators. I have definitely noticed that the times in my life
where I have practiced daily repentance, I have definitely felt the
Spirit in more abundance, which has allowed me to have more happiness
in all things.
These past 2 transfers, Elder Huang and I have been trying really
hard to work with the ward, because they are so awesome, but it hasn't
been working super well. But we recently got a new branch mission
leader, and he has been working really hard to set up some activities
and other things that could really help the ward start doing
missionary work. We are setting up a sign up sheet thing so that
members can come do missionary work with us. Also a board game
activity that members can invite their friends to, and get to know the
church in a less intimidating way. And also a Book of Mormon
Challenge, where every week somebody gets the challenge to try and
hand out as many Book of Mormons as they can to friends and family. So
hopefully these things can start getting the member missionary work
going here in QingShui.
Something that I have learned lately, is that the Lord definitely
has a plan for each and everyone of us. I know that he puts us in
certain situations, with certain people, for a certain reason. He is
always putting us in situations that will allow us to grow, and to
rely more on him. but something that I have also learned, is that no
matter what situation we are in, Heavenly Father always wants us to
have joy. And true joy can come to us in any situation if we really on
Jesus Christ and his Atonement.
Have a good week! Happy Father's Day!
