Museum, Baptism, and Chinese Fireside
Hi everyone. Let us start out by saying how much we love and miss everyone. We are so grateful to be on a mission and are enjoying the blessings and spirit everyday. We are very grateful for all of you, and the love and support you give us. We couldn't serve with out all of you. You are always in our hearts.
We had a fun prep day. We went to the mueseum with the elders and somemembers. It had dinosaurs, fish and a whole bunch of stuff. It was really fun. Hunter would have loved it. We taught FHE later that night. We did a demo using a jar. We filled the jar with apples and plums, representing all of the important things we should do everyday. Then we poured rice in the jar, representing the fun things. So after you do the most important things you can still have time for the fun stuff. It went pretty well, I guess.
Tuesday we skyed with Jenny and her girls. It sure is fun to see their cute little faces and hear their voices. I love it. After we were done we prepared the Chinese missionary fireside for Saturday. We were given six reasons why we should go to sacrament meeting. Then Dad and I had to write a script to fit the reasons together. So we came up with some quotes and scriptures and a musical number inbetween each on. I think it turned out okay. I will tell you after Saturday.
Wednesday we had a really good day. We had a lesson with Julie. We taught her about Nephi's broken bow. We had a good discussion. We enjoy her. She is very fun to tease and joke around with. We always team up against Dad.
Then we had a very serious lesson with a man named George. He has been a member for three years I might have told you about him last week. This week's lesson was very touching. He has lost his faith and testimony because of a lot of things, he has a lot of problems and trails. We taught him with two elders. We showed him two different conference talks on adversity and the atonement by Elder Holland. Then all shared experiences, we read a few scriptures. Then he asked for a blessing. Das was asked to give the blessing. He did a really good job. George promised to ready and pray everyday. We are all praying that his boss will let him off so he can at least go to sacrament meeting. It was a very good experience. The spirit was really strong.
On Friday Elder Woo and Elder Su had a baptism for Winnie. I spoke on baptism and the holy Ghost. While I spoke tears streamed down her cheeks. It was very sweet and touching to me. I went with her to the font. After she came out I asked her how she felt. She said it was a warm and special experience. She is a a sweet girl.
Saturday was the Chinese fireside. We went to the Liffereth's house. I chopped four bags of carrots into match sticks. Dad cut up four huge platters of fruit. Sister Lifferith made two huge rice toppings, fours batches of fried rice, two different stir fry's. You should have seen the kitchen. Rice was all over, sauces, fruit peelings, it was a mess! But we cleaned it all up and got it done and looking pretty in three hours. There were eighty people there. The food and the program were a success! The President loved the program. Elder Woo loved it too! It was an awesome night!
On Sunday we had a special dinner for Elder Woo, he is going home next week. It was great fun! The Elders stood in a line with me in front leading and we sang "Popcorn Popping" and "Book of Mormon Stories." They are all so fun. It was awesome. I love these guys!
That is all for now.
Love you all so much!
Love,
Mom and Dad
