Chris' Letter 01/24/2011

so we had planned saturday for two baptisms but only one happened but its ok another person made a promise with Heavenly Father! The person who got baptised was the one we didnt think would, the whole week she didnt text us back and stuff and yeah. it was really sketchy so we didnt know if it would happen. We texted her on friday night for one last attempt to get a hold of her, and said are you going to be at the church tomorrow for your interview or not? and she said yes. so we were like.. ok so you will be there? yes was her reply! she got baptized! it was soooo amazingly awesome, i really felt a releived feeling after she got baptized, and that feeling continued when i stood in the circle to give her the best gift ever, The Gift of the Holy Ghost! ah so amazing! Steven also got confirmed and Recieved the Holy Ghost! it was great, the girls name is Nam hey Ree, she is 19 and she is a recent converts sister, he got baptized like almost 2 years ago! but yeah it was great she had a special light to her on sunday and she was completely happier and different, it was GREAT! my new companion will be another korean, he wont be trunky so that will be good hah! his name is Lee Won Gi or 이원기, IT WILL BE AN AWESOME TRANSFER! full of sucess and awesomeness! its gonna be great!! ummm it snowed yesterday proabably about 7 inches in 4 hours, we walked to a members for dinner and i literally was a snow man, covered in snow! it was so greeatt! haha umm yeah i have to get my haircut today its annoying and yeah it will look alot better! ah so  i was reading in Alma 57 again, i read it like everyday, its the story of the 2060 strippling warriors, i dont know why people say the 2000 strippling warriors, there are 2060! anyways yeah it talks about how they fought the Lamanites, being outnumbered by many but these 2060 young men, fought and none perished, they delivered death to all those who opposed them. I thought that we are the chosen generation, so therefore WE are modern day armies of Helamen! They followed everything with exactness and because of there faith none perished. i want to have faith like them! I thought though as i was re reading and pondering the last conference talks and president eyrings talk titled " trust God, then go and do it" we need to trust him! in vs 27 i beleive of chapter 57 of alma it talks about the trust these youngmen had! ah its great! i love that story! I hope that we can all have that trust and faith because if we do, we will not perish! This work really is a miracle!! OH and FEb 19th in like 3 and a half weeks Elder Cook from the 12 is coming for mission conference! ITs gonna be great! But yeah nothing to speicall has happened besides the Amazing things that happened this past week! Im glad to hear about home and stuff, i wish yall could meet the people i work with and serve, so amazing! Next week i can write emails and shop on monday but letters will be late because Solar is next wednesday, its like the chinese new year, ask sheila or the neihboors she can tell you all about it, but EVERYTHIING closes and yeah! real big day! so yeah that is our pday , so ill email monday but write letters and stuff wednesday so yeah! i hope yall have a good week! Trust and have unshakeable faith in the Lord!
