Hi!
That is the song I am listening to right now. I really am thankful for a prophet. I read his general Conference address in the Ensign this week, the first one, and it was really a tender mercy. I love knowing that God has sent us a prophet again on the earth today, its really wonderful to me. He loves us so much!
So, it was a GREAT week! We began teaching 8 new people! And they are all wonderful! Four Mongolian men who Jenny and Jika brought to FHE, another Mongolian girl who I contacted last transfer, the cousin of Eric (the husband of the Malagasy family), and also Bibiana's Sister and her husband (and their son, but he's only seven.) NEAT! These are all really incredible people. I feel blessed to work among them and to serve and love them!
Some highlights from the week. Singing songs with Eric and Vero and Alain, and listening to them sing to us in Malagash. Seeing some of our wonderful amis and less active members we love come to church with us! Going to visit Ony and Shine and little Ujin. A huge Mongolian festival! It was a national holiday, and there were SO MANY Mongolians there! They danced and wrestled and I got to eat some yummy food. I really love their culture and their people, I was filled with this inexpressable feeling seeing them all there. I am so happy to experience these incredible cultures that make this life beautiful and interesting, and even more happy to know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone. (I still see Spencie in my minds eye with John Toth and his other friends doing their high school report on the Mongolian empire, ha! the best.) I love writing to you about these experiences because it helps me realize how special it is and how much I love being here and being a missionary, and how blessed I am.
I really know that the Book of Mormon answers the questions we have in life. I know that change is possible, and wonderful, and that we can become a little better every day. I know that life is more wonderful and beatutiful when we look at it through the lens of the gospel. I know that when we repent we can see ourselves and the world as they really are. I know that God wants us to be happy. I know that God lives, and that He loves His children. I know that there is nothing more beautiful than the eyes of His children, and they way they look when they are listening to us talk in His name. I love people. I love YOU, my people, my family and friends who give me more love and support than I could ever deserve.
Sorry to make this another short one, but just know that all is well and happy here. Have the best week ever, and just choose to be happy. It feels so good. If you're having a hard time doing that, go to mormon.org, or lds.org, and just fill your day with a little bit of truth and goodness. And then, say a little prayer of gratitude.
Avec beaucoup d'amour,
Soeur Waldron
