Hey All love you so
much,
|
TO answer your
questions: How often do you use balloon tying as a missionary? Weekly,
and this last week was the first time we decided to go balloon contacting
only and actually saw success (Found a prepared family that was looking
for a church) so I might start to use it more, they have those balloons
in Taiwan so I can go buy them, no need to ship them
here. What is your apartment like? My apartment is
small one room with four segments, study area, kitchen, bed area and changing
area along with a bathroom, and is also full of cockroaches. Do you
have specific mission goals, like the Standard of Excellence that my mission
used? We do and do not, President Grimly had them and President Day hasn't
changed them but he has brought a huge change and a different focus
so I would be surprised if the golden standards remain the
same.
My letter to
president,
This week was good but
interesting. From last Monday to Thursday our companionship's relationship got
better but then on Friday from the meeting with the Zone Leaders on has
deteriorated until yesterday. Elder Wang felt that I wasn't doing my part
because I didn't discuss with him how to work with ward council and I didn't
prepare well enough for lessons and didn't care about others enough. On Sunday
he went in the elevator without me twice because I was too slow. So I told him
that was disobedient and that he should wait for me and he yelled at me for 20
minutes for not doing my part, I told him my side and told him I would try and
do better, and since then on our relationship has gotten better. I think he is
a cherry bomber, he lets things build up inside and then lets it all out at one
time. I hope and pray that it will stay better, and the change I make will be
enough to satisfy him, it is hard that he isn't willing to change anything he
even said that if I get to the elevator after him he will still go down without
me. But this week I had a great thought I had was I believe Jesus is happy with
my work and my mission president is happy with my work, and I know that my
family is happy with my work. This brought me great comfort. Elder Wang and I
are extremely different people but we still have the same purpose and are still
seeing miracles. I am thankful for your prayers and ask you to keep praying.
Outside the companionship issues we are doing great. WE have a great ward, area and investigators. We have many progression investigators, one is a 9 and 10 year old who I teach on Sundays after church and they should be getting baptized on the 15th when you come to give your talk at the ward mission fireside. I am so excited. Thanks for the great training and invites. I learned a lot.

One funny story was
Saturday night my companion and I didn't really talk much, and our relationship
wasn't great and I just wanted to feel loved so I felt like reading a letter
from mom, but felt I didn't have time, but them I had an overwhelming desire to
read a letter from mom so I did and mom’s letter was about how even when some
companions are like a Dementor, you all still love and pray for me. I felt so
loved and understood by god and you all.
SO for the miracles,
this week we had one great new investigator who set a baptismal date and felt
the spirit as we meet with him and afterwards went to lunch with us and after
lunch bought us some great milk tea.., I believe, I never tasted it. We gave it
to the owners of the restaurant to drink.
Love you all and
thanks for your prayers,
Elder Sabey
