This week was super nice. God has been great to us lately. But I won't lie, I still haven't watched General Conference in English, so I am sure after that I will see God in my life even more than right now.
On
our P-day this past week, we went bowling, ate Big Macs, and played Screen Baseball! It was way fun, but I might have gone
a little too hard. I ripped my pants again, but of course that did not
stop me from taking some big cuts. The coolest part about that was
we played with this member who had been less active for close to 7
years and he came back to church just while I have been here (the last few months). Over that
time, we had actually grown really close to him. I truly love him! Sadly, though, Monday was the last time we will see each other. This past Wednesday
he flew out to China for work and will be there for a full year. AH! I
am going to miss him so much, but I am so grateful for the opportunity
we had to help him come back to church and to start gaining back the
testimony he once had. He really did come so far in these few months and
I am so proud of him. I'm just praying now that he finds a church in
China.
Then for the rest of our week, it
rained. We did meet with a few other investigators and the craziest thing happened yesterday. We showed up the the church building and this Sister we
had met with a few times was waiting in the chapel for Sacrament to
start, so that was a super pleasant surprise. Then, another investigator
who was supposed to go to China for like a month, randomly showed up to
church. Additionally, our two teenager friends came as well. To top it off, all three
of our ward's Recent Converts showed as well. That is a lot of people for the missionaries to host. And, to put the cherry
on top, my companion was speaking and so was one of our new sisters, so
both of them were on the stand and couldn't help. So, you know me, I was frantically trying to find
places to sit and figuring out who was sitting where and with whom. Oh
man it was crazy. But it worked out. A little stressful, but it
worked out. It made for an interesting day that is for sure!
It really was a nice week--so fun. The Gospel truly is so wonderful! I love it. And I love you all as well.
