This is going to be one crazy transfer.
I've got a small district for now, but lots of interesting things are
going to happen in it. First off, we're host to our mission's traveling
AP. A new position made to help train missionaries. Since our house has
too much room, he's using it as a homebase, so we'll spend about a fifth
of his time here, and most of it in other areas. Also, we've got a
greeny in our district and two missionaries returning home. Impressive
eh?
As for emails, I've got some bad news and great
news. First, my new companion is fast at emailing. Only takes about half
an hour so I feel bad going longer. Great news, I found an awesome
trick. I can type up letters on my translator. I originally wanted to
use it for President's letters because it takes so long to type Korean,
but I might start using it for family letters too. Write little notes
during the week. Could be good.^^ I'm also using it for lesson plans.
Seems to work well. A lot easier than constantly rewriting and throwing
away old papers.
I've had a lot of my mind this transfer. There's a
missionary in our district that is having a really hard time. I think
that's been the hardest thing. They're having an extremely hard time
finding joy, and there's stress from a hundred odd sources on their
mind. It's been where my thoughts has been the whole week. Even general
conference was different than usual. But I have it on my mp3 player, and
I plan on relistening to it over time. The important thing is that I
got from it the inspiration I need for the moment. I'll worry about the
rest later.
I'm so thankful for a testimony of the Savior Jesus
Christ. That truly is the greatest strength in the world. To know that
we are never alone. To know that no effort is wasted. To know that we
are led and loved by an all knowing being. That is the blessing of being
a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Sadly,
this knowledge is often doubted, and almost daily rejected by those who
do not understand it. My testimony is small in comparison with those
we've heard this weekend (for you guys, last weekend), but I want to add
mine to theirs as a humble witness that Jesus is the Christ. That God
lives, and has called a Prophet to lead us. More than that, we have the
opportunity to speak to our Heavenly Father through prayer, to take our
deepest concerns to him. And find answers.
I know this Church is true. Over the next couple
weeks, I want to share more of the things I liked from Conference. For
now, I wanted to share a Talk from Priesthood session. Elder Hallstrom.
We can change.
Times up for now, but I love you all. Have a good week, and I'll be back with more later.
