| Fun visit from Brittany and Ariel!! |
Hello!
Fun week with a lot going on! Wednesday Sister Chen and I went
on exchanges to take a Mandarin motor coach! So we took 15 of them around. Then
right after that West Gate told us that 20 more people randomly showed up! So
they asked us if we could take that one too. It was so fun but it was also
really tiring. Poor Sister Chen had to do the whole thing because I don't know
Mandarin! haha
We had so much to do Thursday but luckily we could finish all
the morning stuff by 1pm so we could call our awesome investigator! She is so
faithful and totally prepared. She has been having a hard time with her
daughter but we have been able to help her. It has been so fun teaching her the
past couple weeks.
We got to go to a baptism on Friday! Two sisters in our Zone had
been teaching her this transfer and she is Mongolian. So during the whole thing
there was a translator! Haha! It was so cool. Mongolian is such a unique
language.
I just remembered that Friday was also one of the most stressful
days I’ve had while on my mission! We have to assign Zones to do "van
maintenance" every Saturday. We don’t have many drivers in our mission
right now so most zones will have to do the maintenance twice. But there were
sisters in one of the zones that got super upset! They kept emailing and
calling us about it. I’m the one carrying the phone so I had to handle all of
it! hahah Anyways, it is just interesting how people got mad about that! So
funny.
Sister Wong and I took two ENGLISH motor coaches on Saturday! It
was so fun. The first group had 45 people and they asked us SO MANY questions!
It was awesome! Later in the afternoon it started to pour rain, so fun!
There were a lot of members on the Square yesterday probably
because of Memorial Day. We met a few great families.
So with my past few companions we have been helping this guy
named ***** who lives here in SLC come back to church and stuff. I think I
mentioned a few months ago how he had just gotten out of jail and is doing so
awesome. Well he is doing GREAT! He wrote me this email last week and it was
super random and hilarious.... But despite the emoticons, it is very touching---
“Hi sister
Jarvey. It was very enjoyable to spend a few minutes with you and join your
tour on sunday. I always like to see the joy and happy lives that you and your
sister missionaries have; serving the lord and spreading the gospel with your
service and charity. Your testimony is beautiful and I admire the way that you
share it. The way that it is, that it is the truth, and as you teach the people
that do not know about the gospel they are visibly inspired and touched by the
spirit through you. You will have blessings and rewards forever for the souls
that you touch each daily. In the miracle of forgiveness Pres. Kimball teaches
that we will be blessed by sharing our testimonies, and that our testimonies
are a blessing in themselves. Good job, I am so proud to be your friend. Thank you
for your friendship, you also do much good in my life. You have made me happy
and inspired and strengthened me to do right and get myself right with the lord
and the church when I was weak and falling. So I now have the spirit and Holy
Ghost daily in my life, maybe not as strong as you but... Well I hope you are
good and happy”
: Hahah he is so awesome! Well, we’re going to
go now---it’s pday, and we’re going to Cheesecake Factory tonight!!
---another transfer is coming to an end. This week is going to
be insane getting all the transportation and everything ready for
transfers...pray for us! And send us gift cards for food! hahha jk
