Dang...this week went by so fast!
We had a lot of lessons and we had a lot of fun. My companion and I are getting really close with the Hmong elders. We go teaching with them a lot and it's really fun! I'm going to try and get my Hmong name this week. I'll have to keep you guys posted on that.
I'm starting to get fat, which totally sucks but is kinda fun. Turns out caribou and a reindeer are the same animal. Totally threw me for a loop when I figured that out. Life out here is pretty good. A lot of people to teach. It’s finding the ones that are elect that is the hard part. Dropping people really sucks too because I don't want to give up on them. They just aren't ready to receive the gospel yet and I hate it. I know the happiness and joy that it can bring them. This transfer is almost over, which means Elder Brock only has one more transfer before he goes home. 😱 Then, I get a new companion and get to show him the ways of the YSA 😳
I love you all and remember…
He who kneels before God, can stand before anyone.
