你们好!
How are all of you doing? Utah has been so confusing with the weather but I love it! I love the snow and I am getting used to the cold air although not totally used to it. We just celebrated Chinese New Year last week. Our Mission President, President David E. Poulsen, served his mission in Taiwan and was able to stay in Manila and Cebu in the Philippines for quite some time. So... it was a privilege of celebrating Chinese New Year, and this year is the year of the

马 or Horse. (I just learned how to type in Chinese
Characters. Forgive me for my excitement with my Chinese heritage.)
So anyway, the past few weeks has been great! In my
last email, I was talking about our new investigator from Shreveport,
Louisiana. He is now a progressing investigator and he has been keeping his
commitments. We were able to have a member present lesson with him and a recent
convert of my companion who was perfect for him because of their similar
personalities. And we have had a hard time with member presents for the past
two transfers. He is just awesome.
Last week has been a week of challenges for us and
we have been really busy but it was a good week. We were able to teach another
investigator with a member present. She was referred by her friend who was to
go on a mission in the Hill Cumorah Historical Site. The one who referred was
our member present and she will be entering the MTC on Wednesday. She's really
excited for her mission. We weren't able to achieve much of our goals for this
week but we were still happy with the small and simple blessings that Heavenly
Father has given us for the work and it also tells us to strive to become
better.
Having read the emails from my friends and family
(especially from my brother who is currently on a mission) has been a very
wonderful strength for me with the love Heavenly Father has given each of His
children. And every single day, we have come to
see them as Heavenly Father sees them and we feel that love to help them by
serving the Lord and serving them through sharing the gospel. This is our
calling and there are many blessings in this calling that I would always
treasure.
What I love most about Temple Square mission is the
Spirit that I always feel whoever who I'm with. I love the conversion stories
of my fellow Sister Missionaries, our Recent Converts and I love the
opportunity of bearing my testimony wherever or will be. It has strengthened my
faith and my confidence in the Lord and that I can do miracles in this work
with His help. I love my companion and I love the wisdom and the love that she
has and will share with me every day. There are many challenges, but these
challenges help me grow to the person who Heavenly Father wants me to be.
Sharing the gospel is really rewarding. Growing
through the missionary experience is worth it. I love being a missionary. I
love being a daughter of God, and most especially, I love being an instrument
in His hand in His work in these latter days.
I love you all!
