Wow this week has been so crazy busy. We were out teaching a lot and barely had any finding time. But when we did, it was still pretty fun.
Let's see, the highlights of this week... Yesterday for p-day we went to this place called the Life Science Centre, which is like a science museum. It's kind of for children a little bit, but it was still fun! Grown ups can still go to science museums! Ahem. We saw this cool exhibit called Body World which is where you see body parts and human bodies that have been plasticized, or preserved in this cool way. I'll admit, it was kind of gross but my pre-nursing companion loved it and it was a little bit cool.
Backing up to Sunday: we had Elder Donaldson from the Area Presidency come to our church meeting, probably to check out our Chinese members. We invited like crazy and had a huge turnout for the ward of both English and Chinese members. It was also fast and testimony meeting, and three of our Chinese members and recent converts bore their testimony. One of my favourite parts was from Paul, who got baptised four ish months ago who talked about how when the missionaries told him about enduring to the end, he replied "Psh, that sounds pretty easy!" He has such a strong faith in Jesus Christ that he doesn't fear anything that might happen to him. He knows where his foundation is laid, and it is truly in the right place.
Also a quick update on Izzie, our investigator scheduled for baptism on the 20th: she has been busy with school work but she is reading and praying every day! We are so proud of her efforts even at this busy time. She's progressing so quickly!
Well I hope that you have all had a chance to serve someone this week! Remember, Christmas is a time for asking what we can give and not what we can receive. I miss having a Christmas tree and making goodies and whatnot. But the most joy I've felt so far this season has come from seeing others smile. :)
I love you all! Have an awesome wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Larson
