Unnoticed -- Week 60

Not a ton of time but a few things I've learned this week. 

One is about God and the sacrifices we make. No matter how small they are, they are noted in heaven. Lots of things go unnoticed, but God sees all and loves us regardless. 

Two is remember the Savior. Remember how He suffered for us? How did he get through it? He thought of you and me. So when we are struggling no matter how big or small think of Him in Gethsemene.

Thank you all for all you do. Hope this week is the best yet.

Fishing -- Week 59

Okay so our mission has a focus on families. So we decided on Sunday evening to go to this estate that has a park in the center. We prayed and started talking to people. We approached this one mother who was indifferent to our message about the Gospel. But when we said we taught free kids English class she was all for it. She then yelled to all the other mothers "who wants a free English class? No need to pay!" we were then swarmed with a bunch of mothers. It was so funny. We handed them fliers and moved on. Then the spirit whispered go ahead and don't turn when we ran into this girl who had just stood up and was heading home. We sat back down with her and shared the restoration. She was super sweet and willing to meet again.

Also this week we found ourselves on the pier. It was Saturday morning and so lots of fisherman. Thanks Spencer for taking me fishing and teaching me a few things. Talked to every fisherman we saw. One was so funny. He took me to see the fish he caught that morning and just talked about his love of fishing. Then he had his son with him so talked to him about Japan because he has a love for Japan. We left them with a simple invite. Next time they saw missionaries to say hello.

One more quick story. We showed up to this park. We got there earlier than planned. We prayed and started walking. We saw this cute old grandma playing basketball in the rain. Seriously probably 70s or 80s just by herself shooting hoops. Went shot with her for a few minutes and shared who we were. Exchanged numbers and moved on. So cute.

One thing I think I learned this week....or was reassured of was that God gives us trials for a reason. That he is aware of our situations and only does it for our good. We are to learn from it and it will help us in our future. But don't forget we are never alone in this journey of life. That we have a savior by our side and a Father who will reach back as we reach to him.

I love you all. Hope you have a great week. Thanks for the prayers and support.

New Companion From Singapore -- Week 58

This week said goodbye to one of my best friends. Love you sister Sloan. See you soon✌️

Also, I got my new companion. She is super cute. Sister Fu from Singapore. She just loves missionary work. And it's so cute. 

Sorry not a ton of time this week, but just wanna say that I know God is there. Have had too many experiences when I can feel Christ there with me. Feel God's love and his hand in my life. Follow the promptings and thoughts in your head, and it might just change someone's day. 

Thanks all for the prayers. They are really appreciated. Love you all and hope you have the best week. 

Sitting on Steps -- Week 57

Wow this week was good. What is new? Every week on the mission is good. All you have to do is look for the good parts.

The other day we were out and we saw this guy sitting down on a step. We walked over and asked to sit with him and just talked. I could just feel the love God had for this man. I could feel the presence of Christ and it was so cool. No matter who we are or where we come from we are not alone. We left him with a pamphlet and as we walked away he just sat there reading it. 

Also this week I was able to go on exchanges in Mandarin work. We were out and talked to this kid. Turns out he met missionaries a year ago. Said he liked the things he learned. Who knows what will happen. Also met this guy from South Africa. Super cool to talk to him and think back to my brother and how he served there.

One more quick story. So God told us to go to the pier....so we were there and it was just pouring. No one was out. But then it stopped. We stopped this girl and taught her the plan of salvation. I could just feel the spirit and it told me that this is the first time she's heard this since coming to the earth. Thanks for sharing. 

Don't be afraid to share what you know. God is aware of every single one of his children. Whether they are sitting on the steps, in the pouring rain, or half way across the world He knows.

Thanks for all the prayers. God is a God of miracles and loves each and every single one of us. Have a great week. Love you all.
