This week has been pretty
fun :) first off Elder Love and I started compiling music for music finding! so
I wrote the chords for love one another and while Elder Love was practicing he
made a song about... Elder Kim! after his mission haha :) but yes i will start
at the beginning of the week haha :) I am glad I have Elder Love as a companion
because we both really like music and it is super fun!
Monday we rearranged the
apartment
Tuesday we had district
meeting and we all bore our testimonies and it was very very powerful. Elder
Mcgrath is also training Elder Nielson from Nephi Utah! I also think they are
downsizing the mission because with Elder Mcgrath I think I heard something
like 37 people are leaving. and a lot right before that (august) so that will
be fun to deal with haha :)
Wednesday we taught many people for hk standards
haha :) and funny moment of the week Elder Love while trying to walk into the
elevator ran into it because he was talking to one of the people we were
teaching it was just a laugh moment of the day.
Friday was pretty fun
because we had sports night and that is always fun also Heidi in the Po Lam
ward asked if I was a bou jap (tutor) I was like nope I am an elder and she was
like "no like tutor people before because Jerry said you did" and I
was like "oh yea there was Jerry its been a while" yep its
interesting having people know you
Saturday I went on
exchanges with Elder Kim and we were going finding and this old grandma was
stuck in the middle of the street because she was carrying cardboard and the
cart tipped over so we went over and helped here even though she didn't want it
:) anyway we helped her and this other guy who was going to school in Australia
too helped her and it was super cool cause that guy was like "yea if i see
missionaries in Australia I will talk to them" it was super cool he was
training to be a pilot I think. I cant believe Elder Kim is going home in
February :( he is a super cool guy and actually him and I are very similar
(both had Asian parents) I am just a little bit more american culture than him
but yea it was great! he will be going to byu if I didn't hear him wrong haha
:) We also taught a lesson that was super powerful but the person didn't want
to accept it and though he was smarter then God. having power to confound
people like it says in the book of Mormon does not mean that they will be
converted :( it was super sad
Sunday was really great
because we had 2 people we are teaching come to church and we had 3 less
actives come to church, they are all super nice. We also went finding later that
day and we talked to this guy named Mason (yes he is Chinese) and he was super
cool and we would have gotten his number if his girlfriend didn't show up and
went running with him :/ oh well he will find us one day
But all in all a really
good week I actually feel like I am doing something important and not just for
me but something important to God! ging chi dou dai (persevere to the end :) )
missions are the best if you let it be! if you are humble enough to learn from
it!
Insights
You should never do things
for the glory of men but getting caught doing good is not a bad thing
-Elder Peterson
Sometimes we have trials so
we can know how much faith we have
who you are right now is ok
for this instant but you just need to be better for the next
I cannot do anything for
what matters most to me "I of myself am nothing." Honestly I don't
know how to help these people and that is why I especially need God.
