This
week was faster than the last!
How’s
everybody doing? I’m doing amazing. I learn something new every single day, and
it’s amazing! I LOVE it!
This
week was cold and fun i think!
Monday
was more of a relaxed day, we watched the first presidency Christmas Devotional
which was awesome of course! after that we returned to our apartment When Pday
was over.
Tuesday
we had our weekly visit with our buddy Panchhi! Pray for him he’s progressing
but very slowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. We passed out A LOT of Flyers that day for
our Christmas party and English class. Good COLD day :)
Wednesday
went and visited a less active member and was fed a ton! (Members love to watch
me eat because they’ve never seen nor knew anyone could eat a lot as much as i
do I guess haha!) After that we went to Ping Pong Night! We hold it every
Wednesday at the Church :) Super fun to wreck everyone that plays me! (JK HA)
Thursday
was a special day, we went to an old folks home and sang for them all Christmas
hymns. I’m no singer, but I’d sing again for them any day. Seeing their faces
and how happy they were to see us made me cry so hard!! I love them! It was a
great experience.
Friday
was an awesome Zone training meeting! I got to meet a lot of new missionaries
and learn new things from the Zone Leaders. After i left on a companion
exchange with Elder Maeno a Japanese missionary. SO HARD. I had to ONLY speak
Japanese and it was very difficult yet a good learning experience. Our next transfer day falls on my birthday so we'll see how that goes! I don't want to go cause I LOVE it here!
Saturday
we ended the exchange, tried to meet a few people but they weren't home. So we
went to the ward Christmas Party! That was pretty fun and we actually had more
nonmembers than members there. GREAT missionary opportunity. The members here
are awesome! They literally fear NOTHING when it comes to sharing the gospel.
Which
brings me to my next point! This morning I prayed earnestly on what i can share
with you today. As I began my study i was studying 2 Nephi 7-8. Lots of good
stuff. But the main thing i pulled from that was fearing god more than fearing
man. Verse 6 says: I gave my back to the smiter, and my cheeks to them that
plucked off the hair. i hid not my face from shame and spitting.
These
are the words of Isaiah being quoted by the prophet Jacob. He took the reviling
and still followed god! Chapter 8, verse 7-8. Go and look that one up!
Basically, to mainly those of you at school still and those with your friends,
do not be afraid to share the gospel, stand firm in what you believe (2 Nephi
8:1) and all glory to the God on high! Those who revile against you are there
to try and take you down, OR they are waiting to hear your words and testimony
of the Gospel! Just remember to follow the Spirit and teach from the heart when
the opportunity arises. There’s is nothing more important to a missionary than
the members he or she works with. Or to those who are not of this faith, I
advise to listen in on to our message :) we can only invite you; we aren’t here
to make you attend!
I
love you all so very much. Please enjoy and remember the reason for the Season
:)
PS Write
me more often people!!! I’d LOVE to hear from you all! :)
