Running like Crazy!
Dear family and friends!!
OSU is doing amazing! It's getting hot here though. But the cold doesn't stop missionary work so why would the heat?! The work will continue to progress!!
We definitely saw that on Sunday! While working really hard all week to do everything in our power to help people come to church we were blessed with so many tender mercies!
In the first sacrament meeting no one that we had invited came... until a ward member brought in a former investigator and the former's mother! Since they are both from mainland China we got them!! (or should I say Sister Lai got them...)
Right after sacrament meeting just as Sister Lai was about to start her improv Chinese Gospel Principles class another potential that we had met wanted to come to church, but had gotten lost.. so we literally ran about a quarter mile to find him, bring him back, and then proceeded to teach all 3 new investigators about God and having an eternal family
The second sacrament meeting someone we had just met the day before texted us saying that he couldn't find the church. We didn't think he was sincerely interested in coming but nevertheless he wanted to, but was lost! So in between Sister Lai being the organist (she is crazy talented!) we ran the quarter mile once again to find him!!!
God blesses us in some many ways, but sometimes I think he has to chuckle at how we go about receiving these blessings.. luckily Sister Lai and myself run about 2 miles every morning so we can handle it ;)
Mothers Day was AMAZING! I love my family so much! You really are so incredible. I don't know what I would do without you!!
A quick plug about Mother's from Gordon B. Hinckley.
“Women who make a house a home make a far greater contribution to society than those who command large armies or stand at the head of impressive corporations. Who can put a price tag on the influence a mother has on her children, a grandmother on her posterity, or aunts and sisters on their extended family?
We cannot begin to measure or calculate the influence of women who, in their own ways, build stable family life and nurture for everlasting good the generations of the future. The decisions made by the women of this generation will be eternal in their consequences. May I suggest that the mothers of today have no greater opportunity and no more serious challenge than to do all they can to strengthen the [home]”
I love all the mother figures in my life!! Thank you for all that you do!
Love,
Sister Love
