This
week was insane, we had a tragic loss in our Ward. Our friend Brother
Denny suddenly passed away ): (He's the one who introduced Kirei into
the church and Baptized her ))': )
So with going to
funerals this week and trying to cope with everything, my testimony of
the Plan of Salvation was strengthened again. When my sweet Grandmommy
passed away, of course I was sad, but she lived an amazing life and
she was 97! we were expecting it ya? With Brother Denny he was my
friend! I've only been in Bogor for 3.5 months, but the members here
have literally become my family and I cherish all of the relationships
I've built.
This
week is PLD, so I'm excited to go to Jakarta again, I'm excited to
learn from our President and find some answers to my prayers, so next
weeek's email will probably be more spiritual.
I
have one cool story, we were contacting on the train (because all of
our appointments failed again -____-' ) I love talking to people,
especially now that I can understand indonesians soooo much better than
before, i'm not afraid to talk to people anymore! The gift of Tongues is
real yall. so i was talking to this lady, and she was asking what
are message is about, so i whipped out my Kitab Mormon, Sister Davis is
soooooo good at explaining the Book of Mormon, i still get nervous and
confused on how to say '' JUST READ IT ITS GOOD AND YOU'LL BE SAVED" in
indonesian (; but i had a prayer in my heart that Heavenly Father
would bless me with strength to explain it well enough that she could
understand what i was saying. after my little prayer all of a sudden i
received strength to bare testimony of the fulness of the gospel
contained in both the book of Mormon and bible, and by reading both we
can receive a full witness that Jesus is the Christ and that he is the
Savior of the World. it was really cool, so now i'm not afraid to give
away book of Mormons. we gave away 6 this week! Hopefully those 6
people will be interested and want to learn more.
and
then with our investigators, Kristin..... we invited her to be
baptized AGAIN. the answer is still "oh i need to learn more" BUT
WE'VE LIKE TAUGHT HER EVERYTHING UGGHHHH i don't know what to do
hahahah. I know if she just reads the book of mormon and prays about
it, she'll feel that burning bosom in her heart!!!
Sorry
this email is so short. I'm not quite sure what else to say. This
church is true yall, if it wasn't i wouldn't be here! Heavenly Father
loves you, He loves you! So keep trying your best and keep relying on
the Savior for help and guidance in your life, you'll be happier i
promise! (:
OH
YAH and the title of my email, this is another thing that I learned from
Brother Denny's passing. Life is just WAY TOO SHORT! Why not be
nice to everyone you see, try to befriend a person that's lonely, try to
be patient with those you don't get along with. Life is too short to
not have the pure love of Christ embedded in your soul! I know it's
hard sometime to love everyone, but if we pray with all the energy of
our souls to Heavenly Father for help, he will soften our hearts, pray
for opportunities to serve others! The more we strive to become like
Christ, the Happier we'll be! I know that's true!
okay okay have a nice week yall! (:
