We are getting 11 new missionaries in our zone tonight, which is pretty exciting!! We're currently only at 9 missionaries (3 Cantonese speakers, and 6 Thai's), so the addition of 11 is great news and we're all really excited!
Today was the last time I will get to go to the temple for 18 months....pretty sad stuff, but you never know, maybe they'll decide to build a temple in Thailand while I'm gone....not that I'd be able to go since it wouldn't be done yet...but you get my point.
Ok...here's my spiritual snack for you all this week...
We had an awesome devotional from Sister Mary Ellen Edmunds, who I guess used to work here at the MTC. She is such an amazing woman! She's served 3 missions already in her lifetime: one to Hong Kong, one to Taiwan, and one to Manila Philippines. So ya...basically she is pretty awesome.
But something she said that I loved is that, "When you do the best you can do, Heaven will come to help you with the parts you cannot do. Heaven has a plan for you." I think I just loved this because as we're here at the MTC...it's not all sunshine and rainbows...it's actually pretty cold here, and I know that I have struggle a lot here with feelings of inadequacy. Yes, my language is ridiculously hard, but if I'm doing the best that I can and completely turning myself over to the Lord, He will help with the rest. Sister Edmunds went on to say that as we turn our lives over to God, He will deepen our joys, lift our spirits, pour out peace, and raise our blessings.
So that's pretty much all I got for ya this week! Sorry, this email is a lot less detailed than normal...probably better since I'm sure my other emails bore you guys.
Thanks for the DearElders and keep them coming! I want to hear about everything going on in all of your lives too!!!!
Love always,
Sister Lam
