It's been another AMAZING week in Victoria! I'm
quoting a random guy we met on the street in my subject line! Haha
finding people is one of my favorite things because you get to talk to
so many interesting people! Just yesterday I talked to someone from
Brazil, Japan, China, and a refugee from somewhere in the middle east!
The guy from the middle east was also a famous piano player who's going
to tour in the United States soon! So keep an eye out for that haha! I
can tell I'm going to be learning a little bit of a lot of different
languages!
This week John Bytheway visited
Victoria and we got to meet him! It was so cool and he gave an amazing
fireside! Unfortunately none of our investigators could come but it was
such an awesome experience!
Here's an awesome
quote I found: "As a missionary we have to fight, claw, kick, and work
to have the spirit" (Jeffry R Holland) It's a missionary quote but I'm
going to modify it so it says "As a member of the church we have to
fight, claw, kick, and work to maintain our testimony." Don't take your
knowledge of Jesus Christ's gospel for granted! It has been amazing for
me to see just how much Christ can bless someone's life. I know the
gospel has blessed my life so much! It truly is the most precious thing
in the world and I'm so grateful to have it in my life. Keep up the
daily habits like praying and reading the scriptures, because it's the
small things that make a big difference!
We
are teaching an amazing lady whom I love so much! She's from Peru and
she's literately an angel! Haha the other day in a lesson we asked her
to pray and she said yes. She then pointed to me and said "do you want
to get married!?" I responded "um not right now" my companion said the
same thing. She then said "when!? in a year?" Haha it was so funny! She
didn't end up praying for us to get married (which is good haha) but she
did say such a beautiful prayer! She's so amazing! She also has a lot
of foreign exchange students! She's so dedicated to helping others I
can't even believe it sometimes. I'm so blessed by all the people I get
to meet! I love being a missionary and I love giving people the
opportunity to hear about Christ's gospel! I know it's true! Honestly, I
couldn't be a missionary if it wasn't true.Heavenly Father's hand is
undeniably in the work. Or we would fail. But because of Heavenly Father
and Jesus Christ we get to meet these amazing people and watch the
gospel touch their lives.
I love it here in
Victoria and I love being a missionary! Sometimes I feel like the
prophet Nephi when he said "He (god) hath filled me with his love, even
unto the consuming of my flesh" Heavenly Father loves His children SO
MUCH!
Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
