Elder Miles Anderson: This Week

Welp to start off we went up to Taizhong two times this week, one for a meeting and the other for exchanges. Then we went to Yongkang to attend a district meeting so we literally spent more time outside our area than in our area this week. That's never good haha.

But nonetheless this week was super good.

Remember the lady that we taught an 8 minute lesson to and how I thought she was super golden? No you probably don't... but we met with her and her daughter on Saturday and they are just so golden. Holy cow. 神聖地牛 or (的, 姐姐幫我一下）反正. they are just so cool.. I think the highlight of the week was meeting with a mom and daughter this past Saturday. We met the mom on the street a few weeks ago when I was on exchanges with Elder Huntsman and she was super interested right from the start. The first time we met with her she only had 8 minutes to meet with us... but this time she had more time!! These two women really want to find truth. I was so very touched when she told us the story of meeting us. She said that she was baptized in some church a few years ago but she left that church because she didn't like how the people talk about how they need to repent but they don't strive to change their actions. But she always wanted to find Christ's true church. She had been to a few churches and then the day or two before we met her she had a friend invite her to her church. She didn't know if that was the church she should go to so she said a prayer asking Heavenly Father which road she needs to take. Then the next day she met us! And she felt like it was an answer to her prayers! Her and her daughter had heard bad things about our church but they wanted to know if they were true (they weren't of course). They both accepted baptismal dates and we are super excited about them! It just reminds me the importance of talking to everyone because you never know who has been praying for the Lord's help.

As we taught them the first lesson they were so into it. The mom said she is super willing to read and pray to find the truth and the daughter was too. They accepted baptismal dates for June 24th so hopefully they can hit it and their friends won't have a bad influence on them!

Other than that not much happened. Plus I don't want to type anymore....

This week we get to spend the whole week in our area so we are excited to work! We are meeting with Daniel and Marvin tomorrow and we are pumped to help them get baptized.

Here is a cool scripture I found this week. this is from Lamentations 3

22 ¶ It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

Remember that the Lord loves us all. The blessings that he gives us differ every single day. Count your many blessings. Never forget all that the Lord has done for you!

Love

Elder Anderson
