This last week was spectacular!! (trying to mix it up with my word choice) hehe.
Sister M and I have been staying very busy online! At this point, we have stopped chatting as much and just focused on working with who we do have. Our teaching pool is too big right now! Which is a blessing. Jimmy is still progressing very nicely, we are just trying to get the missionaries to meet with him. We have taught him almost all the lessons, and he is FULL of faith. He always says stuff like "I want them to come to our church and find this too!" when he's talking about his friends haha it is so cute. We also called another man named Victor yesterday that had requested to meet with missionaries, and he is in a rehab facility struggling with lots of things. He wants to find God again, and build a relationship with Christ. He agreed to be baptized. So now we are just waiting on his missionaries to contact him too! SO COOL! I could happily serve online for the rest of my mission.
On Saturday we had the chance to attend a baptism for Qing, a young adult living here in Laie. She is from mainland china, and has been through A LOT in her life. Sister M had met her back in January when she was serving on campus. I had never met her before, but she had brought all her nonmember friends to the baptism and the spirit was stronger than I have ever felt before. Sister M and I shared the restoration during the missionary moment (my first time speaking at a baptism-- I was TERRIFIED!), and the Spirit was overwhelming. Qing is a really special person, and I know that she is going to be monumentally influential in bringing the Chinese people the Gospel. She is a spiritual giant. And everyone could feel that this was a historic moment as Qing entered the waters of baptism. She glowed.
I love this gospel, and I love being able to see and feel God's love for everyone. I have never felt so happy or fulfilled before in my life. God's love changes the hardest of hearts.
Give someone a hug today :)
