Hello!
This
week I had lots of great learning opportunities and challenges. But lots of
great things too!
We
went to a special training meeting for everyone who will be going "senior
companion" soon. It was full of lots of good reminders and tips.
We
also met a super cute Christian ama (grandma). She let us into her house and
gave us candy and showed us her family pictures and told us where to find
investigators. She was quite the talker; I think I got one sentence in the
whole time, but she was SO CUTE and so loving.
I
also got sick this week, which...wasn't very fun. But I was so blessed;
recently missionaries have been getting this really bad cold that last weeks
and months, but mine has only lasted a few days and now it's mostly gone :)
Yay! But I accidentally shared it with my companion :/ I hope she gets better
soon!
The
biggest miracle of this week happened when I was on Facebook and saw that my
investigator from JiaYi got baptized last week! :D I am so so happy for her and
can't wait to hear the whole story.
This
week I've realized the power and significance of prayer. But not just any
prayer, the prayer when you really truly communicate with God. I noticed that
my personal prayers weren't going so well recently and I decided to try saying
them out loud (in the closet, haha). It was super awkward at first, not going
to lie, but after a while I started to open up, and I was able to tell God
things that He needed to hear and I needed to say. Some feelings that I didn't
even know I had, or answers to my own questions. It's amazing what true prayer
can do, and I know praying out loud is a way to stay focused and be sure we're
praying with real intent. Try it out one day! Endure through the initial
awkwardness of it and you will truly receive answers.
Have
an amazing week! Oh... and a good thanksgiving I guess. (It's thanksgiving this
week right?...) I guess... Happy Happy Holidays! Haha
