I'm excited for Christmas! We have a mission conference and we get to
watch a disney movie in the VC! The baptism this week was truly was a miracle. A famous finger painter from China, in the
US on a green-card to teach art, and then not teaching because he
doesn't know any English, CRAZY! We've been using the beginning of
second nephi to teach a lot of Chinese people. You come from China, we
come from the US West coast, yet here we are in the nations capitol, and
America. They do not disagree that it is not by chance. It's not chance
that I started my mission when I did! Elder Mclane was the last Elder
with the same mission call as me. It's been 17 months! It's just us two,
covering the whole mission. We got 9 new investigators last week, and
there are so many people, so many families that we want to bring unto
Christ. The most humbling experience of my life was watching an 83 year
old man enter the waters of baptism.. It was so difficult. The water
wasn't so warm, and he can barely walk.. yet he was immersed, and went
from being a buddhist for 40 years, to being a disciple of Christ. What
faith that takes.. It definitely strengthened mine. I am so excited for
Ray to come join the ranks. There are so many miracles he has yet to
behold. Tell him that I love him, and that he has no idea how excited I
am for him. Just as Elder Anderson told me, tell him not to waste a
minute. Just as Elder Brazil told me, tell him not to lose his amazing
personality. And to add to that, tell him to let true love guide his
every action. He will see people in every circumstance, active,
inactive, nonmember, newmember. They all need his love to get to know
their savior's love. Even in the MTC ;)
