Happy
Father's day to all the Father's out there!! I am so grateful for my
Papa and all he has taught me. You are the best, Daddy!! Lots of love!!
Let's
see... This week absolutely flew by. We were focusing on finding and so
did a lot of that. William and Steve went back to Taiwan this week
(T-T) so our pool of investigators dropped a bit. Plus Tianbao's baptism
(so cool to say that!!).
This week I was working on Charity.
I've found a new approach to my Christ-like Attributes. So there is a
page at the end of chapter 6 in PMG that has an attribute activity for
each of the Attributes. Each week, I will complete on activity, then
take an avg of my score. Then when I pick that attribute, I will focus
on which part of the attribute is making my score lower. We'll see how
it works.
This week, I am going to focus on virtue.
This
week as I was studying charity, I was reading in D&C 42:20-27. It
talks about a bunch of pretty bad sins, and what to do if people don't
repent. Then the last verse says, "Thou shalt not speak evil of thy
neighbor, nor do him any harm." No matter what people do, no matter how
bad they are, whether they repent or not, we should never speak bad of
them. We should never seek to hurt them. It makes me think of the other
scripture that says, you never know when they could come back. We don't
help anything, ever, by talking bad about people. Every word that comes
out of our mouths should be to uplift, to edify, to build up. Not to
destroy. This is Charity.
I guess that's it
for this week. I love you all so much. I am changing so much here.... A
mission tears you down to build you up for sure, into someone better
than you could have ever been on your own. I love my mission and am
grateful every day for the chance I have to be here, serving my Lord and
Savior, teaching the Chinese people to know who God is.
