Man, it's been a real long week! That's what happens when the work is moving slow I guess. It wasn't actually super slow this week but nobody showed up to church even though like ten people committed to coming, which just made everything kinda seem pointless. We know it wasn't, but it's hard sometimes when you don't see the fruits of your labors!
On the bright side, the Spooners are progressing really well (outside of the fact that they didn't show up to church this week 😊). NJ is on date for December 8th and he's almost definitely gonna meet it. His dad is working on becoming worthy to baptize him and his mom volunteered to say the closing prayer. She was tearing up at the end, it's been so amazing to see a family come back to the gospel and see the Spirit touching their lives again!
Jonathan kinda mais ou menos right now (that means so-so in Chinese). He wants to learn but he's having a hard time developing faith and acting on our invitations. If he doesn't start reading the Book of Mormon soon we may have to stop teaching him 😐
We also had zone conference this week, which was awesome! President always gives awesome trainings, I just love hearing from him. I still kinda feel like the ones from all the other missionaries are kinda unnecessary, but that's probably just my own attitude problem that I have to fix. We also had interviews. I love getting to talk to President one-on-one, I just really feel a connection with him that I was never quite able to feel with President Hess.
It has recently come to my attention that I've gained a ton of weight so far on my mission (and by recently I mean like three months ago). Like I've literally gained twenty pounds during the last year... which is definitely not good. So that's gonna have to be something that changes super soon.
Anyway, it's been an all-around great week!
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
