Da jia hao!
Well this week has been... rather uneventful to be perfectly honest. We're still working with Ting Ting, who is doing wonderful but has decided to push her baptism back. We're working with her on getting a desire to be baptized. She isn't taking the decision lightly and we're really grateful for that. And she is keeping all of the commandments and loves coming to church and activities. She's so awesome!
Lately in our finding, we've had a district challenge of gathering family stories from people, about them or their ancestors. More people than not just kind of stare at us and are like "I don't... have any." And I'm always like, trying to prompt them to think of something, to get them to talk.Most of the time that will work, and then people get happy when they talk about their family and they feel the Spirit and it's awesome. It's helped us talk to more people for sure!
One of the people we talked to for like almost an hour was this guy named Hessan. He's from Sudan and was telling us about how his dad was really rich when he was young, and how he had a car and a telephone and so therefore was way posh and way powerful. It was like something out of a storybook! People all have really interesting stories to tell, it's just getting them to tell them that is the issue.

| This is me and my spiffy English flag. Now, this is the flag of England, mind you, not the United Kingdom. Because people here do not refer to themselves as British or associated with the UK. They are English. They are from England. Not British. Oh no. don't mix it up or you will suffer some consequences... they're very big on national pride here. Also, don't mention Independence Day. They say that it's the day they got independent from us and finally kicked those stupid Americans out. Oh man it's so fun being from America here... :) Haha, it's just the English sense of humor. They're mostly kidding but also a little bit serious. |
For a little bit about some Rather English Things that occur only in England (as far as I'm aware): I might have mentioned that people LOVE to gamble. If not, then the little gambling/gaming shops are dotted all over every street. Also, they love this stuff called custard. It's like pudding, but runnier, and it doesn't have a strong flavor, it's just mildly sweet. And they put it on any and every dessert.
2 Nephi 32:3 - Feast upon the words of Christ, for behold, the words of Christ will tell you ALL things what ye should do. If you're having difficulty finding an answer, feeling peace, or dealing with any trial, read the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon! So many times, my answers to prayers have come through scriptures.
I love you all! Have a wonderful week! Keep the faith!
Love,
Sister Larson
