Like Mother Like Daughter
Hello family and friends!
This week has gone by SO SO FAST!! I cannot believe it is Monday already! I love being a missionary. Every day is a new adventure and I love it.
Sister Koch is a SUPER STAR missionary! I love her enthusiasm about the work. Interesting fact both her and I did all of our mission papers in the BYU H 1st Stake. This means she was also interviewed by President Hanneman! We plan to write him a letter this week. What are the chances of him helping both of us, both of us going to Taiwan Taipei and me training her. I can just see the Lord's hand in it all!
This week has been so busy and full of miracles!
We have been working a lot with our recent converts and less actives. I love being able to work with them and helping them remember the joy they felt at baptism.
Qiu Xiao Jie is doing super great! She is young but definitely wise beyond her years! She marks her scriptures! She always has good questions and she has a desire to change! We are thinking that she will make her baptismal date!
Zhang Jie Mei was able to come to church yesterday for the first time. She loved it! That was a huge miracle! Originally she told us she would not be able to come but when we called her that morning she told us that she could come!
Lin JM is back on the board. We reset up expectations with her and taught her the plan of Salvation again focusing on being an eternal family. She loves that part! At the end we again asked her to pray and read every day. She said she would do better at reading and praying every day! This is a huge change for her.
Jiang JM is ok. We meet with her this week and she told us she does not want to meet anymore. We then talked about why. She then told us how when she first meet missionaries her heart was empty and she just wanted to feel love from God. She then talked about how the missionaries have promised her a lot of blessing including feeling God's love but she has been meeting with us for about 3 plus months and stills feels empty.
We then talked about how she needs to do her part. The Lord is there and willing to reach out to her but if she does not do her part God will not do his. We shared with her the faith without works scripture. Our member was awesome and did a good job at bearing her testimony of how we need to have faith and ACT. Jiang JM told us she needs time and then she will be willing to meet with us. We have been praying for her a lot these past few days. We know that God will answer her prayers she just needs to open her ears!
I love you all! The church is true! Joseph Smith did see God and Jesus Christ. Through Joseph Smith God restored his church.
Hugs and Kisses
Sister Latimer
