My loves...
It sounds like everyone either had a really busy week, has a really
busy one coming up, or both! I love hearing that while events are
changing in your lives you are all strong in your faith in the Lord.
Thank you for being such an example to me! Sis. Howard and I were just
talking about the importance of enduring to the end after we have been
baptized. The Sister that got baptized last week is already struggling
with that. She has decided that she doesn't want to meet with us
during the week and isn't coming to much of church. Sis. Howard and I
are at a loss right now as to what to do to help her. It is breaking
my heart that she hasn't even been baptized for two weeks yet and she
is already struglling with enduring to the end.
Besides that sad bit of news, the week has been pretty good. For the
first time in a few weeks the week didn't fly by super fast. Which is
weird 'cause we were constantly on the go. We weren't out on the
street talking to people much this week, but rather had a lot of
lessons. We have some really solid investigators right now that are
progressing really well toward baptism. We are constantly praying that
the Lord will help us know how to help these amazing daughters of God
enter the straight and narrow path to His Kingdom. I love seeing the
different ways that the same doctrine needs to be taught to each
different person. It is so great! As it says in Alma 7:11-12, the Lord
truly does know how to "succor His people according to their
infirmities."
General Conference! We were lucky enough to be able to watch it in
English. Kevin, you're Spanish must be amazing if you were able to
understand all of the talks! If I had to watch it in Chinese I would
have not gotten much. But thankfully we have amazing leaders here and
we were able to watch conference in English while the rest of the ward
watched it in Chinese. That really was a blessing though, because one
of investigators doesn't speak Chinese but was able to watch both
Sunday sessions with us in English. I loved Conference! Mom, I also
loved Elder Robbins and Elder Bednars talks. They also hit on some
topics that I have been needing right now. It is a completely
different experience watching General Conference as a missionary. I
love it! And Ft. Collins!?!? That is so exciting! Who would have
thought? I also LOVED the "Spirit of God." That song always touches
me, and it hit me particularly hard on Sunday.
Before I forget, I won't be emailing until Wednesday next week. I get
to go to the Taipei Temple! I am so excited to be able to go to the
temple again after not going for so long. President Monson's talk in
Conference made me even more anxcious and excited. Yay! I am sure that
I will have a TON to write after a week and a half, as this week is
already booked full. Sis. Howard and I get to go down to Kaosiung
(really it's Gaozhong but I think its the other way on the maps) so
that she can teach some missionaries down there how to make mission
stats. She is such a rockstar. But in one week along we will go from
the middle of the island, to the very bottom, then up to the very top.
Yay!
Okay, this letter is WAY longer than I thought it would be. I love you
all so much! Thank you for your prayers and your letters. Please
continue to be the great examples to everyone you interact with.
I love you,
Sister Amy Reece
