I got to go on a switch off with Elder Rands this week, one of the zone leaders. He is about to go home from his mission in about 3 weeks so he has a lot of experience. On our switch off we visited this guy named Benz who had a stroke not too long ago. He can't function at all and is completely dependent on his mom to take care of him. He is a grown man but has to wear diapers so we went to the shop and got him some adult diapers. This switch off I learned more about service and focusing on the people than on numbers or baptisms. This transfer has been so focused on finding returning members and teaching recent converts. I have learned so much this transfer about loving the people and not stressing about the little things and comparing myself to others.
Pet and Geeg are doing so good and actually have dates for next week! We have taught them so much and read the Book of Mormon with them probably 10 times!! They have received their answer about the book of mormon and have become truly converted!
We saw another miracle this week with a guy named Chaiyong. He was at our English class and came up to me after class and said he wanted to come to church on Sunday. Our mission President has always said that the elect come to us, so I was pretty excited about this. He ended up bringing his family too and it was just another confirmation that God truly does answer our prayers.
I love you all so much! Life is so good. Enjoy all the good moments and use the hard moments to improve yourself. Shout out to my mom who sent me this scripture: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Its so true and has become my theme for this transfer!! Love you all :))
