aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh it came, I tried
to stop it, I told myself it wasn't coming, but it came all the same! I
am starting my last transfer today! ahhh and President is taking me out
of English and putting me back into the Chinese district as the district
leader again. To be honest, I was kinda bummed to leave because we have
sooo many people sooo close to baptism here. aahhh!! I love them so
much, my time in English and my time as a zone leader have made my
mission so much richer. I am grateful for the chance I had to serve here
and in this position. I was pretty confused why President made me DL
again, I was kind of looking forward to not have a leadership position
so I could just relax a little and just worry about the area I was in
and getting along with my comp, but whenever we want to slack off, the
Lord nips that in the bud real quick. He has a real sick sense of humor
sometimes, but don't worry, I still love Him!!
I
will be going back to the Westdale 1st Ward in Santa Monica, but
instead of serving in the SMC side, I will serve on the UCLA side. Go
Bruins!!!
My new companion will be Elder Hou, another
newbie from Beijing that doesn't speak a lick of English. Which is really
good because my Chinese has digressed a lot!
But my last
companion, Elder Larkin, finished the mission last transfer, and in his
departing testimony he talked about how we as missionaries share so many testimonies about so many different things, and he said that the most
important thing we could testify of was what Joseph Smith, The Prophet,
said himself, " And this is the testimony, last of all, that we give of
Him, That He Lives!!" And if He lives, why wouldn't we try our hardest to
be like him and follow the council that he is actively giving us?
It
was such a powerful testimony! It made me reflect on Christ is so aware
of all that I am doing. That he is there every time I choose to do what
is right, and every time I am a witness of Him to others. This feeling
that I get, when I think of my Savior actively a part of my life, makes
me want to be like Ammon when he glories in on the power of God!! ahh!
its an awesome feeling.
It was also Fathers Day yesterday. I
am grateful for my dad who showed me the way and gave me such a great
example, because "The son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
the Father do, for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the son
likewise." thanks Dad! Thanks for everything. And a Father can not be
without a wife, thanks too Mom!! love you guys!! talk to you later!! let
me know what you want from LA
