This week was crazy busy but loads of fun. We had transfers this week which was good, Sister Clark and I are staying the same. We gave a training on using our church time effectively as missionaries to all the leaders. Church time really is so important because all of the strongest members are gathered together at the same time. Always things we can do to be more efficient and effective as missionaries. Also Elder Muers joined us for our transfer meeting today. He is a 70 so that was fun.
We got to go to the airport to pick up all the new missionaries which was so fun! They all seemed so excited! We were running a little late because the traffic was crazy but luckily they had to fill out all their visa forms so they weren't waiting on us to get there. Only one elders luggage got here with him so that was kind of crazy! I hope we can get all that luggage figured out. That would be such a bummer to have all your stuff get lost.
Canly and Bong Ny are still struggling with the word of wisdom but still are coming to church every week and are progressing really well. Bong Mom is doing great - coming to church. Her mom is in the hospital and so this is a little tricky to meet her because she is always at the hospital.
We had a miracle lesson with Lina this week. In the past she has had some problems with the law of chastity which is why her parents wanted her to learn with us to see if we could help her. Usually when we go to her house there are people running around like crazy and its really loud but this time she was the only one home, and the spirit was so strong in our lesson about the law of chastity and being worthy to go to the temple. It was so cool. She has been a slow progresser but she is finally starting to warm up and she is doing great! The Lord really prepared the way for that lesson.
We had a lot of people canceling on us this week with all this rain we have been having, hopefully it clears up a little bit so we can meet more people!
I love Doctrine and Covenants 12:8 "8 And no one can assist in this work except he shall be humble and full of love, having faith, hope, and charity, being temperate in all things, whatsoever shall be entrusted to his care."
I know that if we want to assist in the Lords work we need to be humble and full of love for all those entrusted to our care. Charity never faileth! We need to nourish and strengthen and do our best to help all those entrusted to our care and as we do so we are more trusted and better able to assist in His work!
Love Sister Stratford
