Hello all! Its been a great week! Elder Liu and
I have seen great success this week. We have had two new investigators
who came to us through the efforts of other missionaries we work closely
with. I am so grateful for the support and friendship I have seen in this
work from those other missionaries that are here in the service of the Lord, as
well as the efforts of the members here. That has been my favorite part
of this week, is seeing more members at our lessons, and how much of a strength
they can be to the investigators. I am so grateful to know that we are
not alone in this work, and we aren't even just left to the strength of us mere
mortals, but we are led by Christ as we seek to spread his message of joy and
to share it with the rest of the world.
This week was also Stake Conference for our area, and the
stake presidency led a session about working with the missionaries. His
invitation to have the missionaries over, to role play and practice with them
to learn how to better help share the Gospel is one that I can extend to all of
you. I truly know of the power of this invitation and of the Spirit in
this work. The Spirit does lead, guide, and direct those who are called
to positions in the church. I know this is true, and I know it is because
the church is Christs, that he continues to lead and guide us in his work
today.
