WEEK 49 RICHMOND: Happiest of Happies

Not gonna lie...

This week was EPIC!!!

Lowkey probably one of the greatest weeks of my life. Everything that could go right, did go right.

God is so Good!!!!

I actually love it here so much. It's such a cheat code. Do you wanna find joy in life? Serve the Lord. You don't gotta be a missionary to do it. Just serve Him, and you will be blessed, you will be happy. It's just kinda how it works.

Starts with Wednesday. Had DC, always a blast. Lesson with Dom. It was alright. But like, broooo, just lock innnnnn. It would all be chilly if you did. He's such a cool guy, but bros words "I'm just lazy"  No worries, God will do His work. Then had one of the funnest lessons ever. It was with Li, and we talked about the Priesthood and priesthood organization. But we didn't just talk about them, we dove deep into them. We literally taught bro everything about the Priesthood and priesthood keys, and just everything about it . It was so fun. Bro was so confused at first, then we would dive deeper and deeper to try and explain haha. But in the end bro understood. Talked about apostasy and restoration and all the goodies. So it's all chilly. Had a bap interview for English elder's friend. Then joined CFM with Alex, and also taught bro the 2+10 commandments. And it's flippin epic, bro was buddhist, but said he'll follow the 10... sooo.... he's locked in  

Thursday was great, filmed some 基督的光 videos. Did mad libs for English class, pretty funny. Had a lesson with Michael, bro is just happy to be here, loves church, but uhh, hopefully can help bro keep commitments. Read scriptures with Li and Li Nan. Evening English class was a party. Then had Mr. Gu's bap interview. 成功!! So good!

Friday was a crazy (but crazy good ;)) day. Had an amazing PoS lesson with Lisa and it was so cool to take it all in. She was like, I've never learned about this, or even thought about it. She is just soooo cool. Then had a baptism for a members daughter. So good! Mr. Gu pulled up and cooked dinner for everyone, and it was actually so fuego . Bro always cooks.

Saturday

Saturday was just the most amazing day ever. If you read the emails, you'll remember a Huang Qing Fa. Or in others, my king ! Bro got is endowment!!!!! We got permission to go with him, and I've never more happy. Doing the whole thing with him was just so joyful. I couldn't get a smile off my face . He is just the most pure, wholesome, happy person ever! He then took us all out to lunch after and we got to celebrate his birthday with him! It was just amazing! Played ping pong for Saturday night 活动, got pretty cooked. Lowkey kinda rusty, so it's time to lock back in. 

Ohh wait...

Sunday was also just the most amazing day ever! It was actually the coolest  miracle. (I ain't saying this cus I care about the numbers) but we got 11 people to church! 11 Friends who are coming closer to Jesus Christ, and it was such a good church service!

God is actually sooo good! His work is just pushing forward!

All of the friends that came, are also super good and hopefully will all be able to progress. First hour we had a lesson with a members mom who just came to Canada, and she is so cool! Sacrament was amazing!

Quick reminder: Partaking of the sacrament can become and should be the most important part of our week. If we truly take the time to give that 10 minutes to Jesus, we will fill the most peace and love from Him :)

THEN GU'S BAPTISM!!!!! It was actually perfect. He is so amazing, and is just so cool! Bro is already serving the branch so much. Watching people make covenants with God makes me so grateful that I'm given this opportunity to serve. Because at the end of the day, I really don't do anything. I'm just here trying to do my best, and letting the Lord do His work through me. It's just so amazing that I get to even experience this, and that the Lord trusts me enough to do His work!

Had an amazing night, of lessons, mpm, and 陈妈妈. 

Then grinded cleaning.

Holy does this apartment look brand spankin' new. It's lowkey so nice.

Monday morning? Apartment check ups. No worries though, it was great . I'm master cleaner now! (Sorry Mom, I shoulda been better) ((thanks for always doing my dishes)). Grinded weekly planning. Helped brother Gu with some citizenship stuff. Had another bap interview for the White Rock elders. Excited for Sunday! 

Had a mango shake. 

Yippee!

Today was fire! We had zone p-day.. Played 9-square, spikeball, and basketball! The office senior missionaries pulled up and played, then also came in clutch and bought us all pizza. So blessed. It was so much fun!

I'm lowkey just so grateful. This mission has been so good! It's been difficult, but like, that don't matter. Cus hard is the only way to grow. It's been kinda nice, I've been humbled so much as I've been here. I've learned what really matters in life. I've grown my faith and testimony so much. And I've got to be apart of this great work of bringing Heavenly Fathers children home! 

Why is that? I think it's because of my striving to fulfill the two great commandments. Love God, and Love others. 

I'm so grateful I get to be apart of this labor of love. God truly is so good. I've learned to love people the way God loves them, to see people the way God sees them. It has brought me so much more joy than anything!

Blessed Up!

I'm just grateful man
