大家好！
Seriously one of the most memorable weeks of my mission. I've honestly had such a good time this week. So we started off on tuesday morning and picking up our trainee, Elder Newell! Hes from Orem Utah, also learning Mandarin. It's actually soooo fun being in a trio. Definitely a little hard to have good comp unity but we're working on it haha. All 3 of us have soooo much fun, it's actually the best haha
On Wednesday night we ended up going to this Romanians house, elder stayner found them before I guess. But we went into their house and sat on someone's bed, and then literally like 8 people walked in. It's a huge family and they all live together. They're all like 30+ too haha. But they hardly speak any English at all so we basically taught them over Google translate which was soooo fun haha. I'll attach a pic. The dad is super religious and he wants us to baptise all of them so I'm excited to see where it goes haha
On Thursday we had zone conference which was probably the most spiritual day of my whole mission. Zone conference was focused on the restoration which was seriously so amazing. One sister mentioned that the Spirit was so strong there probably cause oftentimes theres so much hate regarding the restoration. And I think it's true! This past week I've been thinking a lot about my testimony and what it's really based on. And I feel like in my life I've had so many doubts, even recently. Whether I doubt the Plan of Salvation, that God's really there, that Joseph Smith was a prophet, that this church really is the true church. But for some reason, I cant doubt that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. And because of that I know God exists, I know Joseph Smith is a prophet, I know that everything in this church is true. The Book of Mormon is seriously so amazing! I've seen its power in my life as I've read it everyday! I've literally been on such a spiritual high this whole week because of zone conference. Church is true!
Also this next Thursday is my one year mark of getting my mission call so that's pretty exciting! It feels like I got it yesterday! But honestly I just love serving here. I'm already dreading going home, even though I'm only like 1/3 of the way done. I love this work!
