WEEKLY UPDATE -- Hallloooo!!!

Crazy week. A LOT of changes. First of all, I am still in Shilin but, I HAVE A NEW COMPANION! Her name is Sister Madelene Joy Reinhard. She is 19, from Orem, Utah. Has 5 siblings, LOVES to DRAW (she is an amazing sketch artist) and she is such a hard worker. I love her already!

Our Mission has recently enforced a new (old) rule where Sister missionaries teach sisters and Elders teach brothers. So, Sister Reinhard and I are the only sisters in our District and our district is comprised of two areas so because of this new enforcement, we are now responsible for teaching not only the people we find in our area (Shilin) but in the other area (Tianmu) as well. This transfer is going to be so much fun. 

Our Mission President has also asked that his missionaries adjust their focus so it is not only "Teaching Repentance and Baptizing Converts" but to "Work with the Members and Teach families". We have started a thing this transfers where we go together as a district to each of our ward member's house and visit with/teach their families. We kneel together in prayer and ask the Lord to help us all find opportunities to share this Gospel. So far we have visited only two of the families in our ward and have already gotten two handfuls of names (member referrals). Missionary work is not just knocking on doors and talking to strangers on the street. It is working with the greatest tools we have, THE MEMBERS!

I know that this email is short but I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to serve the Lord. I know that through our diligence, our obedience and through our faith, Heavenly Father will help us have success. I hope every one is happy, and healthy, and grateful for this gospel. I know I am! 

Love you!! XD
