Dear Family (and friends),
Have I mentioned lately how much I love you all? Have I also mentioned lately how much I love being out here on a mission?! Because I do! (most of the time)
Things are going so well here! I hope you know how much I appreciate your love and your prayers! It is helping me through the work.
I am so thankful to be here. I am humbled to be a part of bring people closer to our Savior. Times can be hard, but I know that the Lord is always in it. He is leading me. He is guiding me. He is making sure that I don't give up. The Father of Lies however is working super hard on me and my companion. We have been meeting a LOT of contentious people lately. A lot of people have been sharing their strong dislike for Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. It takes all my energy not to throw a fist. That is not very Christ-like, I know, I am working on it.
The other night we went to a lesson.... Ended up being a party to bash on Mormons. It was about 5 Chinese ladies. They were trying to get us to watch clips on Youtube entitled "What is wrong with Mormonism" Funny right?!! Not. We testified and tried to leave. They told us we were too young to be stuck in one religion. We needed to explore more... Blah... blah... blah.... We testified more and got out of there. It was so strange. They had made food for us too. It looked gross. I thought they were going to try and drug us with the food, so I refused to eat it.
We have met some great people as well. Yesterday I met a guy who was pretty interested. I gave him a Restoration pamphlet and he gave us his phone number. We are going to call him today to set up a time.
We are seeing miracles!
Sorry, I am almost out of time. I will send a snail mail letter if I can.
I know this church is true. I know that Heavenly Father loves each one of us. He has a plan for each one of us. He really does listen to prayers, but only if we ask.
I would like each one of you to pray tonight. Ask God if He loves you. I promise that if you have a desire to know, he will answer you.
I love you all so much. You are my favorite family (and friends) in the whole wide world!
