J and S are doing great, we Skyped with them twice this week and started to share commandments and the basics things we can do to brig the happiness of the gospel into our lives.
Saturday the Young men's Presidency held a Missionary activity for the YM&YW in the ward. It turned out great! We had 8 YM and 4 YW show up. The main purpose of this activity was to help these teenagers find a desire to serve a mission. We focused on the fact that before you decide whether or not you want to, you need to gain a testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are there, and the things we learn at church are true. We invited them all to read the Book of Mormon a seek an answer of its truthfulness. We were also able to go out to a park in the area and share with some people the great message of the gospel 😁
We had a super amazing lesson with 何.
We sat down, prayed, we talked about the things she was doing, like reading and prayer and how it was good. She is scared that God will punish her for previous mistakes she's made. We said "God gave you those weaknesses, how could he possibly judging you for messing up？"
Essentially her problem was that she believed that
She acknowledged she doesn't have enough Faith, but couldn't figure out what she lacked. She'd done everything, except smoking and church.
Read Ether 12:27, she loved it. After she read it, the first thing I said was 「 何姐妹，你還沒到祂那裡去」, "you have gone unto him entirely yet." You haven't been there yet. He's waiting and you don't need to be afraid.
"Sister He, if you just go to church, you'll stop having the desire to smoke"
After I told her that, she just yells, "Well, what are we waiting for then?". She stands up and shuts down here entire store, locks up, and we go to the chapel on the spot to let her sit in it.
何姐妹，我們在等什麼呢？
Went to the chapel, talked, spread out, she prayed, cried, and turned around and said "who said that?" Who said "home"
Apparently while she was sitting there, she heard a voice tell her the English word "Home" and she loved it and felt at home and said that she'd start coming to church. She's doing great.
Sorry this story is all over the place, but very good. I'll tell you in person就好了
haha
Love you all!
