Of Great Worth

With each passing week I find that expressing myself becomes harder and harder, and nearly impossible. Heavenly Father is just so aware of us and I am so thankful.

Jeung Ji Muih received the Holy Ghost yesterday and then attended a ward FHE. I feel that we are more like friends now and I honestly look forward to staying in contact with her for the rest of my life! We found a woman street contacting the other day and scheduled her right away, and then she brought her daughter to the lesson! It was such a perfect situation! We taught the Restoration, and she told us her life story. Literally, this woman loves to talk. She said the closing prayer, and I kid you not, it was 20 minutes. I couldn't believe it! hahaha at the end, Sister Gomez said "well she had a long conversation with Tinfuh (Heavenly Father)" hahahahah I am so excited to meet with them again and explain our Father's plan of happiness!!!! 

We also taught three 14-year-olds, who the Elders found and then had us teach. It was a little chaotic, many selfies were taken, and I think they have more interest in the Elders than the gospel, but step by step!!! I thought about Araceli the whole lesson and how I would teach her and her friends. 

My favorite part of the week was in the siu basi (little buses we take to our chapel in Aberdeen) and I started talking to an older man. I showed him the picture of my family, and he held it for about 3 minutes and kept saying " leihdeih hou hoisam!" over and over again. Which means "you are all so happy!"  And it just made my heart soar! I couldn't agree with him more. I just felt like 'You have no idea.' I was so grateful I could bear a simple testimony about how this church blesses families. 

My other favorite moment was, once again in the siu basi, I was pondering life and missionary work, and I just had the district impression, 'There is something within you that is precious to the creator of this universe.' It was a bit random, but came with such force. I started to reflect on how much Heavenly Father cares about our souls and welfare. He created the stars, the seas, the mountains, the elements, gravity, everything. But WE are His masterpiece. His work and glory is our happiness. 

I hope that you all have a great week and remember that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. Your soul is of great worth to the creator of this universe.
