We helped Richard move to Kowloon on Saturday and it was the most inefficient thing ever. We showed up and he hadn't started packing! I could totally see my dad just getting down to business and throwing everything in boxes and getting a move on haha but we helped him pack up and had to take his stuff to the train station, then switch trains a bunch of times and walk everywhere carrying this one huge cardboard box of his stuff, then it starting pouring rain, like monsoon type torrents of rain and lightning (it's monsoon season here) so we got soaked and the box got shredded in our hands by the rain, and we had to do two trips! It was very inefficient and I got absolutely drenched, but it was a great service opportunity! I don't know how he would've done it without us!
Soaked in the elevator with Richard and Elder Sy |
The people here are so interesting. The culture is that they can help themselves, they don't need anyone's help, but they want to also help others. But others don't want their help haha it's a very work hard society, and very stressed out and materialistic society. I really know the gospel can definitely bless all the lives here, and I just love the people so much! I say hi to everyone and give them a nice friendly greeting, it just makes me sad to see how stressed and busy everyone is, there's no time to appreciate anything but work and money. I feel so fortunate to have the gospel because it provides so much more depth and meaning to my life.
I cant wait to find people to teach and help change! The power of change that the gospel can bring about is amazing, and is a sure testimony of it's truth! Hearing the Beijing member's testimonies of overcoming drug addictions and hard life situations by faith and the gospel was amazing! I know that through faith, and really truly believing and relying on the Lord, miracles can and will happen. Have faith! Believe! Just like my favorite scripture Mosiah 4:9! God is not an absent Master, and He wants to help us and can make Himself known unto us if we but try to know Him.
love the work, love the people, and love you all, too! Thanks for all the support!
Love
