So for this week... it has been a week of miracles!! (: To start we have been able to see a few less actives and have some awesome lessons!! And yesterday we went over to a members house to talk to her more about her friend that we were hoping to be able to start teaching and while we were there her friend actually texted her and said that she wanted to meet with the missionaries!!! We were so stink'n excited!! (: So we are going to have the first lesson with her tomorrow!!! Whoot Whoot!! Sister Lyu and me are so pumped!! And as for General conference... I don't even know where to begin it was amazing!! I absolutely loved Elder Nelson's talk about the importance of women!! I teared up listening because I could just feel the Spirit so strong testifying to me of the importance of women and that we need both Mothers and Fathers to live the Gospel and be examples to their children!! (: One of the other powerful things that really hit me was from Elder Dale G. Renlund. He talked about how the Lord calls upon us not because of what WE do or because of how amazing WE are... but because of what HE can do THROUGH us according to HIS will!! It was so humbling to remember that we are all simply tools in the Lords hands and He uses us because we can help others around us!! Not because we are better or more qualified than other people! We don't need titles or authority to look for opportunities to serve the people around us... we all can be tools in the Lords hands wherever we are... The Lord takes all of us as we are and helps us become who He needs us to be through helping and loving those around us!! I am so grateful for a living Prophet and for living apostles! This gospel sure is amazing!! (: I am eternally grateful to have this opportunity to be out here on a mission!!
