We were also happy to hear that Nederland won both matches this week, though I was a bit sad to hear that the US was beaten by Germany. But it'll be interesting to see if Belgium or the US wins tomorrow because that's our companionship. Hahaha. A member brought that up. But I'm also really glad that we're not allowed to watch the matches because that's gotten us out of some weird situations! Anyway.
Well, another week has flown by! I can scarcely believe it. Actually, not a ton happened this week. We decided that it was due to a lack of unity and planning last week, and we've repented and are working (HARD) on both things!
Li. continues to be an amazing miracle. She also continues to terrify us with the way that she brings things up! She went to the doctor this week and was told she's overstressed and so she's telling us this and all I can think is that the next thing she's going to say is "So you should probably stop coming." But she didn't, she just told us her plans to lessen the stress and told us that she was planning on taking the bus to come to church on Sunday (two buses, actually). She's so full of faith. She just continues to surprise us! Pleasantly! Gi. is also loving church and talking to us, which is so neat! Especially because he's so young! Six years old and he loves talking to people about Jesus. What a good kid. :)
Got back in contact with Jy. He was really upset that his baptismal date had passed. We were secretly happy because we're thinking that should help us to help him see that he has to take this all seriously if he wants to be baptized. He needs to meet with us, and come to church, and keep his commitments. They're not suggestions, they're important to his salvation! Ah!
Hs. is also progressing beautifully! He couldn't come to church yesterday but he's coming next Sunday. We have a lift for him and everything! He accepted the law of chastity and tithing and fasting beautifully!
Oh! We went to the relief society activity on Wednesday and several sisters commented on how much they loved that we came. It was cool because we were able to build up our relationships with a couple of them! A couple were even inactive so it was really neat to be there. :) We're looking forward to the Ward BBQ in a couple weeks for the same reasons!
We've started to plan zone training and I'm really excited to see how everything will turn out. We're focusing it Christ and on using Preach My Gospel with members. I'm really getting super excited for everything we're planning for this transfer!
I found a cool scripture this morning. Doctrine and Covenants 95:11. "If you keep my commandments you shall have power to build it." The Lord is talking about the temple, but it really hit me about the fifth stake. If we are obedient, we'll have the power to build it! I loved that. And it's true! And it totally applies to the rest of life as well. If we're obedient, we'll be okay. And as Mosiah 2:41 tells us, we'll be blessed and happy. :)
I love you all so much!
