Goodbye Yu Nainai:
Remember that piñata party we had last month for our
investigators? Well there was an 80yr old Mom of a member that came and wanted
to be baptized. Did I mention her before? Well anyways.... We went to go visit
her last week and she didn’t want to come out of her room. Her member
daughter just wanted to talk to us, but I came there to help my
investigator and so I was determined to see her. We snuck into
her room and started making light conversation. When I asked
about her 8 family members she freaked out and totally
"ma'ed" us (scolded/yelled). I guess she only has 5 people in
her family? She was not happy about us being there. She had an attitude?! She
was so mean and yelled at us for a while, I finally go her to calm
down when I complimented her hair. ha In that visit we also discovered
that she has NO interest in the church or getting baptized, and never
wants to see us again. I was so irritated in the moment, but once we left
her house it was pretty funny. Oh well. It’s just not her time I guess. :)
Meet Tiffany:
She is getting baptized next week. She was a referral from the
Taiping Sisters. She just recently moved into our area, and so now we get to
help her prepare to get baptized. She grew up speaking Taiwanese and English so
her Chinese is actually really terrible. The first day we sat down with her we
wanted to watch a Mormon Message with her. We popped it in, and she wanted to
watch the one from Elder Anderson titled: Your spiritual journey: You know
enough. After the clip ended she gasped and said: "I have my answer".
She continued to describe the process of personal revelation through the
spirit. It was hard for her to describe but it was oh so cool. Moments like
those is what makes me really grateful that I was a missionary. Being there for
someone when they get to experience that for the first time is super cool.
Sister Porter:
She came all the way from the MTC missionary department to spend
the day with my companion and I. She was doing some observing and interviewing
for the new missionaries. It was super fun having her there. She is great.
Super inspiring, and just all around really cool. She said that we were really
great missionaries and got choked up a couple of times because she thought it
was fun seeing us "in action". I remember her from the MTC, and she
remembered me. My companion and I had a great day with her yesterday.
We were going to go out and shop with the girls today but it
didn’t work out. We have ward activity coming up this week, and I am excited to
go to that. I will tell you guys about it next week.
I am really happy. I really love this work. Fully expect me to
come home and do some FHE training on sharing the gospel. It’s totally
happening. Our family is way too lucky not to share with everyone. :)
I love you guys, keep praying for me. I can feel the difference.
Love you!
Sis Lee
