Well right now I am stressed about school so I can not think straight. I just wish I had nothing to think about other than the mission and I was never coming home and didn't have to worry about it!
This week was super busy and we rarely had time for studies which is both a plus and a minus because personal study is always my favorite. I really understand the importance now of setting aside time to be nourished by the word of God! It really does wonders to my attitude and outlook on the whole entire day. But then again, being busy is super awesome as well! We are currently rearranging our priorities and setting expectations with investigators because I told sister Dodge I feel more like an English teacher than a missionary. Good thing they don't speak that good of english because I don't think my english is that good anymore!
The highlight of the week was meeting with a less active of about 10+ years. We called his wife who our Relief Society president told us to try visiting her. Well when we called her she told us she had no interest in meeting and was not Buddhist. Well about 45 minutes later we get a call from her husband asking to meet! When meeting with him a couple of days later we find out that he had a really rough day at work and asked God to give him a miracle and that night we called! Talk about divine intervention! Well to make things even better, this guy is awesome. It seems like he was just itching to get back to church and just needs a little bit of a push. It is quite amazing because he has a really strong testimony and a lot of faith so I am excited to continue working with him!
We visited a different less active whose daughter previously (sorry I don't know the medical term) had Leukemia. When we talked with her she explained how even though this was a big trial she remains grateful. She knew through it all, no matter what happened that everything would be okay. It was really neat and touching to hear her testimony of the Plan of Salvation and that this knowledge gave her an eternal perspective.
Funny moments:
As we were going home from an appointment a 14 year old boy started walking and talking with us (which was weird in the first place because no one ever does that), well as we parted ways we asked him if he would have interest in learning about Jesus Christ and he says, "You know I think I will just stay neutral, like the swiss"
We were teaching a 16 year old investigator english and one of the questions was describe your ideal husband. Well she wrote, pretty not too skinny. When we asked her to expand on what not too skinny meant or looked like she said, "Like you." Oh great thank you haha!
The mission is awesome! Thanks for all the love and support,
Sister Loo
P.S. My companion is even worse at taking pictures than me so maybe no more pictures for the rest of my mission haha!
