Hey fam! Elder Gunsay is being transferred. I'm gonna be with Elder MacDonald for his last transfer before he dies. So that will be fun. This past week was good. Not a whole lot happening with the work; there's still good stuff, but just not a ton... but that's ok, we're working hard.
Friday, we went and got ice cream donuts for comp inventory.
Figured it was a good way to end the transfer, haha. But anyways, highlights of
the week: we had a good lesson with one of the people we're working with, Cua.
She isn't progressing much, so we had a good talk with her about baptism and
why she wanted to be baptized. she didn't really give us a good reason haha...
so we're working on that. Also, we had another lesson with Shane, which was good
because it had been a while since we've been able to contact him. Turns out, he
wasn't avoiding us. his phone just wasn't working, haha. We met with a lot of
members this past week to help them get excited about Hmong conference and to
help them invite their friends.
Saturday morning was pretty interesting. we were invited by
our branch president to go to this graduation party thing. It's for all of the
people who are in the Hmong clan Tswb, or Chue, but we still got the invite.
They celebrated people who graduated 8th grade, high school, and college.
Basically, people talked for like 2 hours and then we ate some food after. There
was a ton of Hmong people there. Pretty typical Hmong party. I think Pres.
just likes having a church influence there. Its pretty fun though.
I really don't know what else happened. Saturday, we
went really hard trying to contact the less-actives, but nobody was answering.
We knocked doors all around town for most of the day, and finally, when we had
a member with us, after 2 tries, we got in a door and had a talk with a
less active. Definitely a miracle, even though they didn't come to church or
anything.
Listened to an awesome talk this past week. I don't remember
what it was called, but it talks about Christ's Atonement. I loved it a whole
lot cuz it applies to me a lot right now. Never mind I just found it. Its
called "But If Not". It's so good. It talks about having faith even if
we don't see results, or if we don't see miracles. I love it a whole lot, because
like in the scriptures there are all these promises: "the field is
white", "ask it shall be given you", and so forth. And I
honestly, with all my heart, believe these promises.... but some of them
haven't been seen in abundance for a large part of my mission. But even though
I haven't seen these huge miracles... "but if not", if these things don't happen
like I would want, I still have faith. I still trust in God, despite my inability
to see His plan. I really enjoyed that this week. Anyway, love you guys!
Got a new Hmong tie, so that was a great day.
Here's a picture of my friend Txuj, he's awesome.
Love this little guy.
