Dearest family and friends,
Talofa lava! It's been another busy week in the mission field. Not too much has happened this week, but Sister Delim and I have still managed to stay fairly busy.
Libby is doing pretty well. We taught her the plan of salvation this week with the Elders and it was really good. The spirit was definitely there! She has the most genuine testimony in the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. It's so inspiring!
Felicity is doing pretty good as well. Our biggest concern with her at the moment is how to get her to church!! She didn't come again this Sunday, which was disappointing, but we will keep seeing her and do our best to get her to church so she can get baptised on the 25th!
We also finally caught up with our Hindu investigator, Stuti. We showed her and her husband the movie "Finding Faith in Christ". I like teaching her because we are helping her build a Christian foundation, whereas most people that we get to teach already have that, so it's something new and exciting!
We haven't taught Nova and Alex this week because Nova has been sick. This weather kinda stinks because nobody wants to go out and do anything since it's so cold, but it's alright because we keep going hard in the winter!
This week we also had zone conference. I always love meetings like that because it gives me a chance to take a step back and evaluate myself and decide what I can do better. Sister Delim and I both feel like we want to continue to help all the people we are already working with, but also focus on working really hard to keep finding new people. That can be hard here just because of the cultures and attitudes of many people, but we know that if we try our best that the Lord will provide!
Last thing for this week that's really sad. I am coming up on my year mark this week on Thursday. I really don't know where the time has gone! I remember in zone conference one of the things that was mentioned was when Jacob labored seven years for Rachel and the seven years seemed like just a few days because of the love that he had for her. I feel like my mission has been like that so far. Honestly some days it feels like the sun will never go down, but others go by way too fast when I am doing my best to work hard and lose myself in the work. Being a missionary is one of the hardest and best things ever. I have learned so much about myself and grown in so many different ways. I am so grateful for my Savior and the patience and love that He has for me. God could have chosen anyone he wanted to be His missionaries and He chose me! That is something that I will always be grateful for! The gospel is true!
Love yous heaps!
Sister Bingham
