Wow I think the thing that we did the most this week was get stuck in the snow haha! Or help other people get out of the snow! It sounds annoying but it was actually kinda cool! We really got to bond with random strangers using team work to push cars out of the snow! & that moment when the car finally gets traction & takes off is a moment of pure joy & celebration! It's been really neat to interact with people & after maybe only a minute of knowing each other be able to rejoice in each other's success but hey! That's what this life is all about! So that was cool to see this week!
So, a funny story... We go help teach English once a week & this week we decided to do an activity where you tell a story by each person taking a sentence until it goes around the whole room. Anyway we were telling this story about a frog & someone added to the story that an elephant stepped on the frog & killed it but I didn't want the story to end on that note so I said the frog didn't actually die and it revived itself but they weren't really understanding... So then Sister Rick's used the word "resurrection" in Karen to try to help explain & they thought that was interesting but understood & the next guy added to the story "God helped that frog!" And everyone laughed! Look at us just teaching the gospel that God helps even frogs!
Lately I feel like there has been a big emphasis on the Book Of Mormon in EVERYTHING! The church is focusing on it in lessons & missionaries are focusing on it in teaching the people who are interested in the church. This book is amazing! In the Church's "Come Follow Me" book, the very beginning gives prophetic promises about the Book of Mormon & I definitely recommend reading through those and then studying the Book of Mormon with those in mind & see that those promises really do come true!
This week has been full of miracles & I know that God is leading the work here! We've had a lot of neat lessons especially about God's Plan of Happiness and about how Jesus Christ has restored His gospel & His church on the earth today! I know that these things are true & that they are impacting the people that we are teaching! This truly is the best work! I am so happy to be a missionary & to work with the Karen people here in Minnesota! I love you all so much!
Love, Sister Freeman ဖီပြံဝါ
