Hello Everyone!
So I hit six months this week. What a weird experience that was. Do you know what else is weird? For the first time in five months I'm not wearing tights. That's right! It's finally warmed up here in eastern Canada! It's a beautiful 75 Degrees Fahrenheit today and sister Chen and I are enjoying it!
So this week was an interesting one. The big things are of course that with out sister Penrod sister Chen and I are really having to strive in our languages. I do think that my Chinese has already improved so much in the last week alone! It's going to be so exciting to see where it is by the end of the transfer. I love sister Chen to pieces though! absolute pieces! She's so sweet and patient with me. I'm really so blessed here out in the mission.
The next big thing this week was we had skills and interviews! The last one with President Clayton on the mission. He'll be leaving in July but he's going to the very end he's working as hard as he can. It was a great meeting and we all enjoyed it so very much. I learned so much about turning out ward and working on the people. Really seeing what they need rather than guessing. It was so good.
The actual interview was good as week and in the end after a wonderful testimony from president and the closing prayer... President Clayton gave me his approval for Star Wars the Force awakens. He told me that it was worth waiting for. It was good to laugh with someone about that.
Back into the area sister Chen and I spent most of this week working with the members and getting to know them. It was really good to reach out and connect with the people around us and I look forward to seeing them all reach the goal of regular temple attendance. Investigator wise this week was slower. We had to reschedule our appointment with the investigator family and we had to slow down with Chong a bit. But this coming week is going to have all that we can do in it! We're so excited to meet with the potentials we found this week and the people that we'll be working on!
Really it's a time of great hope and joy. There is so much to be thankful for and it's such a comfort to know that we have this chance to work with God in His work. There can be no greater reward and that's so cool!
I hope you all know how much I love and appreciate all of you. There's so many things that looking back I didn't realize how much those little experiences changed me until I got out into Canada and realized how truly blessed I am. You are all such great influences to me and I hope you know that!
God lives, and Christ is His Son, and the Holy Ghost testifies that this is true!
