Wahhhhh! This week was a good one

Wahhhhh! This week was a good one. I LOVE SISTER BURROWS. She's crazy and hilarious and we have so much fun together! Here's a bunch of random things from this week with some pictures too!

Tuesday we went to visit a woman in the hospital. She had a stroke and then brain surgery to keep her alive. She's doing much better now! Her patient husband was in there helping her move her legs and arms so she'll be able to walk again one day. The first time we went, they were sleeping, so we just left a little love note, but the next time they were both awake. We went in and sang hymns, chatted about life, shared a scripture on how the Lord will never leave us in our trials and then sang some more. She loves to sing hymns and so do we. Her husband has not joined the church yet, but we were able to talk to them about the plan of salvation and how it gives us comfort and strength. It was just one of those times that made me feel extremely lucky to represent Jesus Christ and do as He would do. I feel like I have those moments more and more each day and I love that feeling! We also visited Long JM, a woman who joined the church 8 years ago but has been going through some stuff lately. We went over and shared Mosiah 24:11-15. It's when the wicked king says the people can't pray anymore. Instead of forsaking their God, they pray continually in their hearts and never lose faith. The Lord sees their faith and in due time releases them from bondage. The Lord knows the trials we need to help us develop our faith. We just need to continually trust in Him and have faith and we too will be free from all sorrows and pain one day. We also visited Hong JM who has 2 children who refuse to come to church. She really wants us to help them come back, so we got to know them and then played the Holy Ghost game which they thought was so fun. We then invited them to start praying about their lives each day, and then to pay attention to how God influences it for good. Hopefully we can keep seeing them and help them come to church. We had dinner with Zoey that night! She is doing SO GREAT!!! Came to church again this sunday and loves reading the Book of Mormon. She also wants to learn the ukulele, so we're going to play a little bit this week along with some other friends from english class. It will be fun!

Vicky and Tina are doing pretty well. They opened up to us about some concerns with prophets and continued revelation. We shared some scriptures with them and then talked about the importance of faith in receiving an answer. It's so cool how ANYONE anywhere can get an answer about whether this is all true or not. I think it is one of the biggest evidences that God loves us and will never abandon us. We had a lesson about that in Relief society yesterday too. I am so grateful for trials that have let me turn to the Lord and develop my own faith and testimony so I could come share it with these people that I love. Teaching English was really fun on wednesday! We talked about body parts and then prayer. My students are so funny and ask some of the most random questions. Zoey came too... wearing roller skates haha. It was pretty funny. We also visited Hong JM, a sister with schizophrenia. She is having a really hard time lately, but we made her scripture cards and lamenated them so anytime she feels scared or worried, she can pull out a card and it can comfort her. We hope it helps! We also spent a lot of time organizing a TON of records/contact cards/stuff/ward lists etc that is helping us feel much more equipped to do the work now. We also had a ward activity Saturday which turned out great! I love meeting with these people and getting to know them. I LOVE MY MISSION!!!

For reals. Its hard to describe. I wish words could do it justice but they just don't. I'll write mroe next week. I love and pray for you all!!!!

LOVE, Sister Song
