This week I have more time so hopefully this letter will be a
little bit better than last weeks. The hike last was super fun. It was
pretty cold and raining a little bit but I got some pretty good
pictures so thats all that really matters. and we went with a bunch of
members too so that made it super fun.
This coming up week is Chinese New Year so it is going to be super
fun. We are going to be eating a ton of food. People are alot busier
so its a little bit harder to set up with investigators. But I am
pretty excited because Yuan Lin is a place that a lot of people are
from. What I mean by that is my first Chinese New Year the area I was
in was more developed and newer so when a lot of people went home for
Chinese New Year, there was nobody there. But I feel like a lot of
people will come to YuanLin for Chinese New Year. Also it will be a
great opportunity to work with the ward and build better relationships
with them.
This week we had Zone Conference and it was super great. instead of
the usual thing where people just give trainings and stuff, it was
basically just a huge discussion between everyone. The two things we
talked about were how we can use the doctrine of Christ in order to
better fulfill our purpose, and also how we can be more accountable to
each other and the the Lord. It was really good because it gave me and
everyone else just a bunch of thoughts on what we can do to improve
which is great because that is what life is all about.
Finding has been super difficult lately. We just haven't been
willing to find anybody who is willing to listen, and the people that
meet with us once we are having a hard time setting them up for
another time. But this week should be a good one and hopefully we can
get the work going better again because it has been a little slow the
past couple of weeks.
Brother John was not able to pass his baptismal interview this week.
there are still some things that we need to review as far as
commandments that we didn't think he had problems with. But he still
has lots of faith and I hope that we will be able to help him soon.
Something super cool happened this week we were just contacting and
we stopped and talked to this lady who it turns out was a less active
member. She hasn't been able to come to church because her daughter is
sick. But she said she has been thinking a lot about church and these
kind of things lately, and so she was really glad that we stopped to
talk to her. It was super cool and we should be meeting with her after
Chinese New Year.
I will end this email with a scripture that i read today. Helaman 12: 1-3
1 And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the
hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his
great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their
trust in him.
2 Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his
people, yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their
herds, and in gold, and in silver, and in all manner of precious
things of every kind and art; sparing their lives, and delivering them
out of the hands of their enemies; softening the hearts of their
enemies that they should not declare wars against them; yea, and in
fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people;
yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts, and do forget
the Lord their God, and do trampleunder their feet the Holy One—yea,
and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great
prosperity.
3 And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with
many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with
terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will
not remember him.
No matter what circumstances our life is in. We should always
remember the Lord and his infinite goodness to us, especially as we
prepare for the sacrament each week.
Love you all.
Happy Birthday Ella! I can't believe you are 5!
