This
week's shout out goes out to Maile. She's blind, but she's so happy and open.
She's the sweetest.
What a week! So many
miracles and tender mercies.
Laymon is doing.
Interesting. He's meeting with us rather frequently, we just can't quite get
him to church, or to stop smoking and drinking. He finally admitted it to us
(after he tried to hide it under his side table) but was super defensive about
it. He knows he needs to quit though, so we are working to help him overcome
that. He likes everything that we say and he's very open with us otherwise.
Last week, Laymon asked us if he could join two churches, and Matthew 6:24 came
to mind, but I didn't say that. He answered his own question, and it's clear
that he truly is contemplating the correct course of action here.
Finally caught the
Soliman's! Only we are experiencing a lot of strange things with them. We
aren't entirely sure what to do with them, because they keep dodging us and
it's like. We know Christien is home, but you're going to lie and tell us she
isn't? I have no idea what we are going to do, but hopefully we can sort this
out soon. Luckily we have the spirit to guide us in what to do!
Thanksgiving was
probably my favorite part of this week. I love food. And this is the day we get
to eat as much as we want! We made a lot of visits to members in the ward. They
are so kind, I love this ward so so much. Some of our Thanksgiving experiences
were more entertaining than others, considering we had some kids at our
dinners. So funny. Scissors are not weapons. And we also took apartment
pictures for the Christmas card we will be making. I will attach some for your
enjoyment. Shout out to Caroline for taking those pictures for us!
This week we had a
zone training, and well. It was good. At the end, they had all the departing
missionaries bear their testimonies. It was really neat because a lot of us
shared the same things. I feel like there were a lot of lessons learned that we
can't even begin to express, but of the ones we did, I know there was someone
in the room who needed to hear what we said. And there were different people
who, even though we said the same things, needed it said by one person and not
the other. It's crazy how the Lord works but it's so good!
Alright, I will start
advertising this because we've been asked to. And I guess it's safe since we
have cleared Thanksgiving. The church is putting out a new initiative called
"He is the Gift." It's all about the gift God gave us- Jesus Christ.
I know I'm so grateful for Him. Without Christ, there's no way I could be the
person that I am now. There would be no hope. So I strongly encourage you to
hop on the wagon and share. I'm not entirely sure what this means, but you're
supposed to use #sharethegift or something. Coming home is going to be
interesting. But check out the website. By sharing, you not only change someone
else's life, but you change your own.
Love you all!
Sister Kwan
