Dear Mom,
--
It has been an amazing experience these past two years. There has been more experiences that have opened my eyes than I can recount. The greatest miracle is watching people's lives change. The Gospel has the power to change and turn lives around. I love seeing the eyes and spirits of God's children light up as they become to feel of God's love. As they come to feel the truthfulness of the Gospel and recognize the blessings that their Heavenly Father give them, they experience a change of heart that is wrought by the Holy Ghost.
This past week it has rained a lot and our ceiling in our teaching room sprung a leak. In less than two weeks, mold has grown to cover up over a third of the ceiling and now we can't use the room anymore. Last week, we had 12 students come learn, but for the next few weeks, we'll teach at the church instead.
One new investigator we've met with a few times this past week is the daughter of an investigator who was baptized in Don Mueang this transfer. The missionaries in Don Mueang called us and told us that this new member's daughter goes to school and lives in Chiang Mai in our area. We met with her and have started teaching her. Her and her friend came to church this pastSunday and we'll be able to keep meeting with her. She's also been fellowshipped very well by members. This past week I feel like it's a great blessing to see the enthusiasm for missionary work increase a little bit. It's very easy to forget just how important missionary work is. We know it's important, but for some reason, we often don't maintain a fire or passion for sharing the Gospel as we should. Even as missionaries, we see how difficult it is. Last week, a member just recently returned after finishing her mission in Temple Square, and they're such a great example of a great member missionary. They're very excited and willing to do missionary work. When we called them to help us teach, they were ecstatic and excited to get to help. They're a great example for me to help me remember what being not only a missionary is all about, but also a disciple of Christ. I'm excited for the future of Chiang Mai and the church here.
We see miracles every day in missionary work. God works miracles in our lives according to our faith. Our faith must consist of both a belief and action. May we have the faith that miracles can happen, and may we have the faith to make miracles happen.
