Nyob zoo!
This week went by way too fast. I can't believe it is Monday already, but anyway, it is P-day again. Today for P-day our district is going out to eat, going to play mini golf, and then after playing some sports so it should be a fun day!
This week we had interviews with President Williams. It is one of my favorite parts of every transfer and is always a great time to talk with him. He definitely is a very inspired man and always has great tips and advice for me. One tip this week: He is wanting me to learn the area, so I am now the designated driver again. I liked chillin in the back studying and relaxing, but it will be a good thing for me to learn the area. It is a big city and the people drive crazy so wish me luck!
Hmong people care a lot about the social aspect about church. For example, they will go to a church based on how many Hmong people go there rather than what the church teaches. It makes it hard to find people that are actually interested in the truth, but this week we met an awesome guy named Mark. He literally is the most humble guy and is so prepared to hear the gospel. We knocked on his door and he let us right in. He told us that he honestly doesn't care about how many Hmong people are at church as long as it is God's true church. He is seriously searching for truth and it is really cool to see. We were able to teach him the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation this week. He is someone that I think has a lot of potential and has the right mindset to progress.
So hopefully you have all had time to do the 3rd Nephi reading challenge. I would still love to hear what you guys have learned from the reading so far. As of today, I am on chapter 8 of 3 Nephi. This takes place right before Jesus Christ comes to visit the people and also right before Jesus comes to minister to the people in America. These next few chapters are some of my favorites, so I am very excited.
As I have been pondering on ministering this past week, I came upon a quote that says, "Charity isn't giving someone something you want to give them, but charity is giving someone something that they need." I like this quote a lot and I think it is very true. We know charity is the pure love of Christ and when we have that love for others, we will look for ways to help them. As Christ served others he always served people according to their individual needs. He didn't serve everyone the same way because everyone is different and unique and they need different things. Things like a spiritual message, helping around the house, or maybe simply just being a friend to talk to. I know if we have this Christlike love in our hearts we will see others as our Heavenly Father sees them, as a child of God and we will know the things to help others the way they need it most just as the Savior did.
Have a great week,
Love,
