Hey Family,
Glad to hear everyone is doing well. That's pretty great Dad went up to NY for Helping Hands. Hopefully I'll hear about it when I
get his letter. Glad you liked Black Friday shopping, Mom. For us, we did
weekly planning for 3 hours so that was good.
Sorry that I haven't let
you know about my companion. His name is Chenou Xiong. He is
native Hmong and he is from Colorado. He is super funny! He is really good at Hmong because he
is Hmong. He is a little shorter and is
pretty athletic though....VOLLEYBALL! It's like all Hmong people are pros
at volleyball. Also, it's just
our companionship at our apartment. However, when the Hmong New Years
celebrations start, we will have other elders staying with us because
they will be coming down from Merced and Atwater for the
proselyting/celebration opportunity.
Also, right now we have a ton of people getting ready
for baptism. We have some part-member families that are preparing their
kids for baptism and some young single adults as well. We are super excited
for them. I think there will be at least 2 baptismal services
in December so the work is going really well right now!
THANKSGIVING:
It was so awesome. We went
and played at the turkey bowl with our members and it was fabulous. I
never realized flag football could be so rough. I was so sore these last
few days. We had 2 dinners to go to but we missed one for the other. We
were going to go eat with President Gelwix at a member's home, but we
ended up going to dinner with a potential contact at another member's house. We
also watch two movies that were approved for thanksgiving; Forever
Strong and 17 Miracles.
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:
"Knowledge
of the gospel is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to
that knowledge is the essence of conversion." We all know about the
right things, but doing them is a different story. I think a lot of
people have a testimony but not everyone is converted to the gospel. We
all have a lot of work to do to become 100% converted. So let us all
take the time to go and strengthen our testimony by living it and
therefore become more converted unto Christ.
Love you all so much! Sorry that I haven't been able
to write back to everyone yet. I'm getting around to it. Continue to
ask me questions about everything and I'll be sure to answer them. LOVE
YA
