TRANSFERS!!! I am leaving Santa
Monica and heading back to USC and am back with my trainee Elder Yang. Put my
life on repeat!!
The 6 months in Santa Monica was
probably the busiest time in my mission. It was super fun just doing work! Just
preaching and finding and teaching. Even a little baptizing thrown in there. It
was a happy time. This last Sunday was just super joy filled. Investigators at Church,
everyone just having a good time. I will miss it for sure.
Thank you for your prayers for Wu Si
Yuan. I am sure he feels them.
OH MAN!!!!! How did I not talk about
this first! On Saturday, I had the huge honor of going through the Temple with
Darren and Wenqi and to attend their sealing. It was just one of those 'I could
die right now and my life would be complete' moments. Just seeing them both
there and all the old members from the Palos Verdes Branch in the Temple
together was just glorious! The only thing that could describe it was
happiness! Darren and Wenqi looked super tired, but very very happy. They are
just some of the most prepared most kind souls I have met on my entire mission.
Also, just sitting in the sealing room with the Branch Members and President
Lam ( he did the sealing) I just realized how much I love these people and how
excited I am to see them and everyone else that I have met and seen join the Church,
in Heaven one day! I know it seems a little cheesy, but it is a day that I
truly believe will happen. It is a day we can all look forward to. This hope
can get us through anything! Oh man, just seeing Darren and Wenqi progress this
past year and half has changed me so much. It has truly made me realize that
people are ready to receive the Gospel, and God will guide us to them. Darren
and Wenqi also said they will have a baby soon! A baby that is born into the
covenant is the best kind of baby!!
Mom, could you send me 2 temple recommend
holders? That would be awesome!!
haha Tracy said the closing prayer
in Sacrament on Sunday. She did it with her eyes open and thanked Heavenly
Father for the year of Lamb and good stuff like that. She is awesome
I am excited to go back to USC, I
never got to buy a souvenir last time, this is probably the main reason God
guided me back here.
Love you guys!!
