It's been another great week here!
Chinese
new year is coming up and we had a HUGE activity to celebrate! It was
so cool! President Wong even came! Not to mention the chinese people we
were teaching came! It made me so happy to see them!!! Mostly everyone
there was Chinese, so it was a ton of fun trying to talk to people! It
was so cool to see so much culture too! Sometimes I feel like I'm
actually in China. I love it so much! President Wong even taught me some
Chinese! I can now say "You are SO good!" in Chinese! Yay!
One
thing I've learned is that Christ provides a way for those who
earnestly seek him. It won't be easy. But it will be worth it. We have
an amazing investigator who is hoping to get baptized soon! She has a
brain injury, but has been praying for the ability to learn and remember
everything we've been teaching her. Her progress has been incredible!
It's amazing to see the gospel of Jesus Christ work in someone's life
and change it for the better. She came to church this Sunday and just
loved it! I know the only thing that gives us the power to improve the
quality of our life is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It gives us purpose
and meaning in this life. It makes me so happy.
I
read this amazing conference talk this week by Sharon Eubank. It was in
the latest general conference. One thing that stood out to me, is that
Christ enables us to change us so that our hearts have no more desire to
do evil. He can change our desires. We can't force ourselves to have
charity, or force ourselves to be humble. But if we invite Christ into
our life we can overcome the natural man and be blessed with the
attributes that enable us to become like Christ and love those around
us.
Have a good week!
