Transfer

Well this will be a short email but yeah. Deal with it. Anyways. This week was a great week! Elder Zhang is super cool and we laugh a ton and are having a great time! We spent about 95% of the week out on the streets finding people. I have felt like the Lord is testing my faith and patience. No one would give us the time of day to hear a happy message about Christ. But that's ok. I have learned a lot this week. I have really understood the phrase that 'some people sew and others reap'. Granted, we would all want to be the people that just reap all day every day and just baptize the world. But that is unrealistic. 

Let me tell ya, this week I have already grown so much closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Transferring areas was really hard because I really loved my last are and companion but I am loving this area and companion just as much! Even though we don't have any investigators, we are strengthening ourselves. It makes me think of Alma and Amulek. After Alma found Amulek they sat down and ate some food and such. But it didn't say that they immediately went out to baptize. Alma stayed there for a little bit with Amulek. I imagine during this time they were preparing themselves for the task ahead. They were strengthening their faith. Elder Zhang and I are preparing ourselves by going out and giving it our all. All day. Every day. I have been reading my scriptures and praying more than ever before. It really has brought a new light into my life and into this work. What gave me comfort this week was that the people we met that actually had interest, live in different areas. But it made me feel good because we are helping someone come unto Christ.

I don't really know what to say because this week was all rejections,soooo 

Merry Christmas!!

Be ambitious for Christ!
