Sister Jenkins and I are
almost out of our allotted miles for the month, so we decided to walk
all day (minus church) yesterday. We were walking down the road by our
apartment. In front of us were two teenagers that just finished playing
basketball (there's a court across from our apartment. We play
basketball there some mornings ^^) Anyway, so they passed Sadan de
Kiddi's house and he came out, looked at them, then looked towards us,
who were still fairly far away. Immediately he started bouncing and
barking and growling. Then he took of running, tore up the ground,
coming at us so fast. I was closer to him, so he started running towards
me. Sister Jenkins was like, "We gotta go!!!" She didn't have to tell
me twice. I turned and ran. She wasn't sure if she should run or not.
She was like "You've got to be kidding me!" (reminded me of that story
you told us, Dad, about the lady in the parking lot). Then she was like,
"Help!" talking to the two boys, who were just standing there watching
us, probably not sure what to do. I was just running, thinking I was
about to get eaten alive by this vicious dog that for some reason hated
us. Something made Sadan de Kiddi stop and turn around, but he kept
barking and acting like he wanted to keep chasing us. Our adreneline was
spiked so high. Luckily there was another way around, so we went the
long way. We were able to laugh minutes after, but at the time it was so
scary. Pretty sure we had Guardian Angels watching out for us. So
sketch.
Church was super good this week. We had
7 investigators there! Our Chinese class was really good, too. Isaac
got called to be the new Chinese class teacher (just got reactivated
yesterday, yay!!) I love our ward. The members are really great, and
willing to help us out, despite the fact that we are Chinese speaking
Sisters teaching Chinese people, haha.
Oh,
don't know if I mentioned it, but last week was transfer call. Nothing
changed for me and Sister Jenkins (no surprise there.... Chances are we
will be companions our whole missions, haha). Elder Joseph and Elder
Mesa are still companions. Elder Slack is now the District Leader and
companions with Elder William, and Elder Ieru is the new Zone Leader
with Elder Palmer.
Not too much else going on.
Just keeping on with the Lord's work. Oh. This week I worked on
Patience, this coming week I will focus on Diligence. Patience is sooo
important. It is being happy and cheerful, full of hope and faith, even
in the midst of trials. It takes diligence to do so. If you aren't
diligent, Satan weeds his way in and makes you lazy, angry, frustrated,
selfish, all the bad stuff.
Love you all! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the warm weather back home!
