Week 76: Service and Identical Twins

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good week. Last P-day, Brother Geng (one of my favorite converts who works under the government) took us to a place called Wad Arun and some other places as well with Buddhist buildings and royal stuff and it was pretty cool. Brother Geng was basically like my tour guide haha he seemed so happy to take us around.

We did some service with the sisters for one of their LAs named Sister Maam. Sister Maam is such a nice lady! She teaches English and I think that might be the reason why she can't come on Sundays but anyway, she's just a nice little old lady that lives with her dogs. She had this tree out by the front of her house that we worked on. Elder Miyagi, and I, and also Sister Palmer worked on getting this tree cut down with a little saw. We also did some other things out by her house and overall, it was a great service experience. 

Right now, Elder Miyagi and I have three investigators that are really awesome. Sister Uud, Buy, and Gif. Sister Uud was a referral from a member and she's about 40ish? I'm really not sure so I could be off but anyway, she knows that the gospel is true and she loves it. Since we met with her the first time, every week and she wants to get baptized. I invited Sister Buy one day by a huge shopping center and we've been meeting with her since last month now. She's about 45ish? I'm not sure either but she's way nice and she gives us food. And she's progressing! Sister Gif was invited near a huge mall and so she came to church and believe it or not... her identical twin came as well! They look so similar. That was the first time I ever taught twins together. Very fun haha. Sister Gif came to church and she seemed to really like it. She's progressing as well. Her twin didn't come to church on Sunday but hopefully she'll come this upcoming Sunday. 

Personally, I want to work on having more faith. I've made it a goal to be more sincere in my prayers and to read scriptures everyday. In Helaman 5:12, it says "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." I hope you all have a great week!
