Leihdeih Hou!
I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying this Christmas season! Life is busy as usual but it's a good thing I have Sister Meh to keep me calm because sometimes I feel like I am going 100mph with no brain. Haha! We are both working really well together and trying to figure out the best thing for Yuen Long. We have been struggling a little with encouraging the ward members to do missionary work, and President Lam told us to be bold but loving/patient/meek/humble, so that's what we are trying to do! I really do have a lot of faith in both Yuen Long 1 and 2! I don't know what the Lord has in store, but I really do think Sister Meh and I can make some changes here and help these areas progress :)
Our investigators are doing really good! We went over the baptismal interview questions with Alice yesterday and she still looks solid for the 25th. She says that she has been feeling the Spirit more in her life and that she is still wanting to be baptized so I know the Lord is helping us prepare her as well. She also has not had any green tea in a while now so that is a blessing and miracle!
We had a long talk with Laahn Je last week about her smoking problem. We didn't know if she was being truthful with us about completely stopping smoking so we had to clear the air with her. She admitted that she's been doing 3 cigarettes a day (usually right after meals) which is an improvement from her pack a day when we first met her, but we are still working with her to stop. She said it was too hard to quit and that she couldn't do it. We tried to comfort her and let her know we would work with her and so would the Lord. We told her she couldn't do it anymore and gave her some candy to eat when she has the urge to smoke. She's had a couple of slip ups, but she called us today to tell us she hasn't smoked the past 3 days! I know the Lord can strengthen all of us and that we can all overcome any weaknesses we may have. He's already doing that with
Also, some of you probably already know this, but from now until Chirstmas, the church is doing a #LightTheWorld plan where every day between now and Christmas you do one thing to serve others and light the world. We can talk about Christ and learn about Him, but it is another thing to become like Him. John 8:12 says "I am the light of the world..." but Matthew 5:14-16 says "Ye are the light of the world..." These scriptures don't contradict each other, but they explain that we can become like the Savior. As we follow this plan, we become more Christ-like and share the light that shines within us with all those around us. So if you haven't started already, I encourage all of you to #LightTheWorld and follow this plan! There is also a really awesome short video at https://www.mormon.org/ that you should also check out! I am doing this plan as well and I promise you that blessings come from lighting the world and you really do become more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying this Christmas season!
