ANYWAY
Here are some more updates from this week!
> We got a new car! This car doesn't have a Tiwi yet! (It's like a driving monitor for missionaries.) So that's wack but we have been even more careful I think now. Funny how that works!
> Okay Facebook has been bringing MIRACLES! OKAY so on Thursday morning this week, the missionaries in charge of the Facebook page call us and tell us that a KAREN person responded to the page and wants to get baptized!!! And we were like whaaaaat and this was on the English page! So then we got in contact with her and have started teaching her!! Hyyyyyyyype! Ok so then we said we would meet her at a lake park thing for a lesson and she was down so we told her when we got there and then she said she would walk to meet us! Well she finally got there a half an hour later and we come to find out she literally lives on the EXACT OPPOSITE side of the lake and walked ALL THE WAY AROUND the lake to meet with us and said she would do it again! Wow.
THEN the next day!! They call us AGAIN to tell us another Karen person messaged the page and wants to meet with missionaries asap! So we called her and SHE WAS SO COOL! Wow so ready for the gospel! And at the end she said, "Wow that was exactly what I needed!" (We shared from the Book of Mormon.) Oooooo CHILLS!!
> Okay haha kind of a funny/weird story! We went to see a member (outside since we aren't allowed to go in houses yet) and we were showing her a video and I was holding the video and facing all of them. Anyway apparently they could all see this random Karen guy kinda walking around behind me and start to come toward us but I had no idea. Anyway then I just see this figure come out of nowhere and plop down right next to me and he just started watching the video with us. Lol it was kinda funny but also kinda scary! So then I'm like not sure what to do and plus the video is in English so he's literally not understanding anything but he was just watching so intently. But I said a little prayer in my head asking if this was okay and if we were safe and then I just felt the sun come out and warm me all the way through and knew it was ok! After the video finished he turned to our friend, who is also Karen and asked if she understood any of that lol... He was just a funny little probably drunk Buddhist Karen man that loves to worship--doesn't matter what and doesn't matter if he can't understand! I just love all Karen people! They are all so unique but also just such kind and open people!
>Sister Moeck introduced us to the "Got It" game and I think it is one of our favorite things! So many fun laughs...
>KAREN IS ON GOSPEL LIBRARY! Woot woot!!
Okay so something I read for my studies this week that is standing out actually has to do with spring! Which is kind of ironic because we are going into fall and winter haha but I was reading a talk this week called "Walk in Newness of Life" and it talked about new beginnings and fresh starts!
"Who can witness the emergence of colorful blossoms on limbs that seemed so dead and barren all winter without marveling at the earth’s miraculous regeneration every year? The arrival of spring after a long, cold winter is a bold declaration that rebirth is always possible. It is an annual reaffirmation of our hope in new life and renewed life, a sweet and tender reassurance of hope centered in Jesus Christ. I suppose it shouldn’t surprise us that the Master Teacher uses the largest visual aid in history—the world He created—to teach us about His Atonement."
I am so grateful for this knowledge! Can you imagine a world where there was no backspace, no refunds, no spring after winter!? That would be so miserable! Though it is kind of ironic that this came up the week we are going into fall and winter following, I also think it is kind of a cool point! As we go into hard times or maybe are already in the thick of it, how comforting it is to know that spring WILL come! For sure! No doubt about it! It may come later than we'd like or maybe winter holds on for a couple mid spring snow storms that throw us off but Spring. Will. Come. And winter will end! That goes for all things! Because of Christ's Atonement we can hope in new beginnings and fresh starts! We can look forward to overcoming with FULL faith that WE. WILL! We can become all that we so desperately want to become! And it is through our Savior that we will get there! Turn to Him :)
I love you all! Also! I would love to pray for you! If you have anything that you would like someone to pray for please send it to me!
Have a blessed week! God loves you and has a plan!
Love, Sister Freeman ဖီပြံဝါ
