Hello everyone, I'll relieve you all in advance by saying today's email will be pretty short. Things are rolling over here, Christmas is in the air, and time is flying by. Sunny California has been a little rainy and somewhat cold as of late, if you can imagine. I personally really enjoy it, just because it's a change. And the air seems to be less hazy when it's this kind of weather.
To celebrate the Christmas season, we had a dumpling-making party with some investigators. You would not believe how hard it is to pinch some dough that has meat and vegetables in the middle. Also, my hands are at least 68% larger than our investigators', thus allowing their nimbleness to exceed ours. And, as they say in China, some people were born with a dumpling in their hands. Okay, they don't really say that, but people in Northeast China get pretty serious about it. I highly recommend it.
In some news, I was made district leader over the Chinese/Korean district. That should be fun. My responsibilities include presiding over district meeting and....that's about it. Actually, I also get to go on exchanges with everyone every transfer cycle, which should be exciting. Not going to lie, I love going to the Korean program.
To end, I'll share a story. It was pretty sweet as we managed to find someone willing to set up an appointment with us a couple of days ago. We were looking for a completely different number on the street when we stumbled into her. That is a testimony to me that God takes our weaknesses and still manages to do something with us. The Holy Ghost will make up the difference as long as we're obedient and worthy and trying. The scripture D&C 80:3 brings great comfort to me:
"Wherefore, go ye and preach my gospel, whether to the north or to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss."
So, we can't go amiss in this work, because it is God's work and nothing will stop it from progressing. Have an awesome, Christmas-filled week, everyone.
