大家怎样LAH!! BONJIOR, HELLO, KONICHIWAA AND ANNYEONGHASAYO!!
Well this week has been nothing too much. Nonetheless it's still a blast with comfort!!!
New haircut too It's soo FUNNY!
Well as mentioned before the week has been quite a week for learning and while it has not been a storm with the people we met. Nonetheless there were several curbs and challenges I have to face by myself.
Meeting with my Mission President
Now to be honest I always thought Mission Presidents are people that we should upmost respect and no jokes. However, when I've met my mission president for the interview. I am soo grateful to see him and be able to take council from him. Mission Presidents are the best in helping us missionaries whenever we are lost, both physically like goals, directions, progress of the work and etc. As well as spiritually like questions, doubts, concerns, worries and etc.
Now I do believe different areas have different sort of Mission Presidents, I believe they are all called from God. Something that my mission area love to say is
"God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the call."
And that is soo true no matter who Heavenly Father calls to a calling in their life. They are never perfect from the start, however they gradually learn and practice their arts of the calling. Like
1. Moses - Speech issue
2. Alma - Rebelling against the church
3. Nephi - Not understanding and having concern on the things his father Lehi says
4. And ETC
So each of those amazing stories and example the scriptures shows, they all were not prepared, neither worthy in some people eyes. Nonetheless, they are learning as they were called. And they trusted in the Lord to guide and nurture them as they do the things the Lord asks of them. And that is AMAZINGGG!!! Like WHAAAT but yeah they learn and were once imperfect. But they were made perfected through Christ which strengthens them.
So maybe there might be some people we see that aren't perfect, but that's why we're here to help one another and to pray for them and fast and more for them like a hidden motion of fire. And even for yourself, if you ever feel inadequate, the Savior is there to help us and guide us to reach new heights. Best part is He is ALWAYS THERE TO RECEIVE US.
“O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?”
3 Nephi 9:13
“O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord! O ye fair ones, how could ye have rejected that Jesus, who stood with open arms to receive you!”
Mormon 6:17
“I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God,”
2 Nephi 28:32
So no matter how weird, unique and special people around us are. Love them continually even when it feels like things are done differently, cause Heavenly Father knows what's best to help us all. So ultimately trust in the council of your Mission President they are AMAZINGGG!!
Learning Process
Well it's been an amazing learning opportunity for me as we have what I call late night chat with my trainer. It's WILDDD!! Like just chatting about my concern and gradually I came to understand how I can express myself in a hmmm in my own way. And okay it's really helpful to analyze, copy, emulate and improve it.
Like it's SOOO FUNNNN!! But I am still trying to do contacting, lessons, socializing, connecting and loving everyone around me. I love it. But I guess one way that does help me is by asking this few question.
What is a great Christlike attribute that you or someone you know can see in you?
How can you use that Christlike attribute to show love to others?
I think it did help me out. Nonetheless I am still understanding the formula of it. But I am learning to do better for the people I teach. And I LOVEE THEMMM!!! I am soo grateful to be able to teach these people. And I guess that's why I wanted to stay on my mission. Because of these people ❤️.
Holy Ghost
Okay Okay now I know I talk about that several times in my emails but its amazing to always learn something new from this small and simple principle. So I learned something that goes along with 1 Nephi 3 and 4
“7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.”
1 Nephi 3:7
Now imagine you are telling your dad about a crazy and suicidal plan and you agreed to it. You said Yes I know that God is there to help me through it. And like you are soo excited and you travel all the way to the place where that suicidal plan is going to happen. Now when you reach there the next thing you knew is, having a simple question in mind. It goes along something like....
What now? How do I do it?
And that is WILDDD, and thats me. Before every lesson.
LETSSS GOOO!!!
During the Lesson
It's an empty head and it seems no revelation or prompting come. ⚰️
And I was soo frustrated like how come it's not there or that I did all this effort to teach this people but I know not what to teach. However my trainer said one thing during our convo.
Just do it....
Just do it? WAT TAT? Just talk. Just serve. just act. Just testify. Just listen. Just That?
And that's exactly what Nephi did:
“5. I, Nephi, crept into the city and went forth towards the house of Laban.
6 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.
7 Nevertheless I went forth.”
1 Nephi 4: 5-7
SUREE WHY NOT. Why not just talk with ya'll. Just talking and gradually thoughts and idea will come in as the conversation continues. And that is something I wanna try!! Scary but EXCITING!...
And also there's a BYU talk that was just a BALLER!! Gotta find it. DINGGG
Miracles and it's FUNNESS
So funny thing, while this week we were locked in to invite all chinese Asians to the coming up 中秋节 activity. So we also cover an English stake and the people we taught are alll AMAZINGGG. But they all had issues poppin up like busy schedule and sickness.
Nonetheless just yesterday Sunday, they were all able to come and at the same time I was able to give a talk at their wards as well. And it's sooo . I love how the Lord works His miracles in their lives. And I can see the Savior's help in each and everyone of our lives. I am soo glad to see the Lord's help in our lives.
