last week was really great. having sister Hill as a companion has been really fun. she's so humble and willing to ask questions and learn. she's also incredibly powerful as a missionary. i love having her ideas and talking about how to help our investigators. Huang JM can to church for the whole 3 hours yesterday. we had an amazing lesson with her and a couple in our ward about the plan of salvation. Zhou DX, the brother that helped us teach, bore an amazing testimony of the Savior and the Atonement. He was so powerful in his teaching and his testimony. that lesson was really special. i love how the gospel blesses and helps families to be happy and whole. i love this area and ward so much. the work is going great here and we are having so much fun. we just found out that sister Huang will probably be getting baptized on july 12- how special is that?! to see a family completed would be the best birthday present. in the lesson the other day, she just said "i wish i could just get baptized right now! i cant wait!'
another one of our investigators is having a struggle with getting her husband's permission. her faith is so strong and she is wanting to pay tithing and fast offerings before she has even been baptized. she is seeking the Lord's will in her life and is feeling more peace about His timing. she is an amazing example to me of patience and humility. we're fasting with her for her husband's heart to be softened. we do all we can do and then rely on the Lord.
congrats to blake and kenzie. i love you both very much and i am excited to hear and see pictures of the wedding. you two are my heroes. thanks for being the example that all my investigators and i need. eternal marriage is amazing.
things are going well with sister Hill. i'm trying to find the balance between giving her chances to teach and not overwhelming her. i really love her and i'm grateful for her patience with me. i've really been learning recently that it is so important to rely completely on the Lord. when we don't, there is no power in what we do or say. if i am to truly represent Him, then i need His spirit to guide me in what to say and do. we all know what an outgoing and slightly pushy person i can be. i'm learning to try and use the gifts Heavenly Father has given in the way that He needs me to use them. i'm trying to be a tool in His hands and pride gets in the way of that. i'm really grateful for what i read in ether today. it talked about how the brother of Jared cried unto the Lord and the Lord had compassion. i'm so grateful for a compassionate Savior who reaches out to us as we reach to Him
I'm so grateful for all of your support and prayers. i feel it and i need it. i love you all so much. Heavenly Father blesses us as we are humble and prayerful. His blessings are amazing :)
i love you all so much. i'm praying for you all. sounds like an exciting summer. you are always in my prayers
love
sister Newman
