Woooowwwww, I love Mother's Day! It was great to Skype with the family this morning! I can't believe how much the children have grown and how much Leo can talk. It's also always nice to have Dad test my Chinese lol. It feels like I just Skyped for Christmas the other day. Time continues to be a myth out here on the mission. As far as the work has gone this week in Zhang Hua, it's been awesome! We are working with a lot of really awesome people with a lot of faith. We have 3 super cool guys that we are working with that all want to get baptized but they all 3 have pretty serious family opposition. It's an interesting predicament. We are working to help build their faith and praying for miracles! One of them is Brian and when discussing this with him this past week I was prompted to share my own mother's conversion story and she overcame her family members' initial opposition to her baptism. I think it definitely helped Brian see that the Lord can and will provide a way. Especially with it being the week of Mother's Day it was great to able to invite the spirit and testify of how the Lord provides a way by speaking about my mom. Also, yesterday I studied about moms! I began by reading Elder Holland's talk from last October's general conference, Behold Thy Mother. So good. I then took a while to reflect on my own mother and the huge influence she has had on me and my life. I feel like being on a mission has helped me better understand just how much my Mom loves me. I also feel like seeing how my mom has loved me helps me better understand the love that our Heavenly Father has for every one. Pretty cool! Love you momma! (and every one else)
