Words of Encouragement

The families words of encouragement has given me the fire and motivation this past week not only to continue on working but to work with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. This week I have experience literal miracles of finding the Lords prepared people. People who have literally been seeking out the representatives of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and people who seeming fell through the cracks of past missionaries hands who now want to enter into the waters of baptism within this coming year. My new companion Elder Chu being the seasoned veteran missionary he is, has been teaching me through his example about the fruits of diligent work and the blessings of being firmly planted in PMG and the white hand book. This week has been hard but it has been rewarding. I have been studying on how to be more of a consecrated missionary and what that actually means in the Lords eyes. I think the biggest thing I have learned from experience is the yielding of not just your might and strength to the lord but your heart and mind as well. Because those are the things that the Lord, through his respect for agency, can not have, and has to be given liberally. I still struggle giving it all up, but Im slowly learning. Thank you all for the good wishes and the fun videos. im sending a Christmas card that should have a little message for every family. but I love you all, and I miss you all!
