I'll get my flight plans this Friday!! I'm the travel leader
since my last name is C. This week was all good！I
have been having a bit of a cough but it's all good. Thanks mom for the care
package of cough medicine stuff.
Yesterday we got to hear from ELDER HOLLAND. THE LEGEND. He
is like the most loving person. He talked about how the greatest tool we've
ever been given in this dispensation is the Book of Mormon. The integrity of
this church stands on the Book of Mormon. It's a do or die stand with the
restored gospel/truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. God expects us to read,
love, and embrace the Book of Mormon. He then gave us some advice as
missionaries - 1. Be the best you can be. 2. Be yourself 3. Be the best self
you can be 4. Give all your glory to God. In Alma 26:8 it talks about how the
blessing we have is to be the instruments in the hands of God! So the question
is: What kind of instrument are you going to be? If you were to go to a surgeon
for a life or death situation, you'd want him to have the best tools possible
right? God's ability to spread his work is dependent on his tools! Missionary
work is hard because salvation is not a cheap or easy thing. Everyone's salvation
goes through Gethsemane, it cost Christ everything so it's okay if it costs us
something. In verse 11 it talks about how "my heart is brim with joy, and
I will rejoice in my God." Missionary work is really...really...really
hard but I have never had so much joy.
Non spiritual stuff:
We did service last night and there's this part where we
have to fold this giant gray mat. So half of us are lined up on one side about
to pull it across and when we start folding it I have to start holding down my
skirt so it doesn't fly up. One Elder in my district was running so fast next
to me that I slipped!!!! I tried to get up but they kept running so I was being
buried by the mat...so I just laid down on my stomach and just died there. Even
when they noticed, stopped pulling, and Sis. Kim came to help me I just laid
there giving up.
I might need you to send me a flash drive with music and
some Mormon messages that are in Chinese and English cause Annie Brinkerhoff (from
Jr. high) is in Taiwan and that's what she recommended.
Love,
