Great Week!!

It has been a great week here! I have been so grateful and happy to be apart of the amazing things happening in Pingdong. I love it! This week we did not go on any exchanges which gave us a little bit  more time to work together as a companionship. We were able to meet a lot of really amazing people that are very prepared and willing to hear the gospel.

For example this past week we were able to meet with a less active brother in the ward. He hasn't been to church in a couple years and has picked up the habit of smoking again. As we met with him we were able to meet his two daughters, 8&10, and he expressed to us how much he desired to change and bring his family to church.  We were able to read with him in Ether 12:27, and discuss plans for how he can obtain his goals.  Seeing that humble and kind of a man so distraught because of the bad habits he has picked up influencing his children negatively and then looking for power through Jesus Christ to change was a testimony to me that he once felt the love and power of Christ, and now now our Heavenly Father is calling him back! No one is forgotten or left behind on this group effort to get home to our Heavenly Father.

Josephine and Sienna went to church in Italy! We will be pushing their baptism back a week. We feel it would make for a better experience for them.

I love the work that I have been able to participate in for the last 2 years of my life. I have been changed forever and I couldn't be more grateful for the experiences and people I have been able to meet out here. My time is not up and we will be giving 100% until it's over. Thank you for all of the support that I have received. 😁 I will be sending a little bit longer and more detailed email next Monday, but for now, I want you to know that this is the work of God. He loves us and has truly provided a way to partake of the blessings and happiness he wants for us. I love it all. 😁
