So,
hopefully everyone knows about the crack in the bathtub...if not, check
other emails. Anyway, this week they came to fix it :)...the bad news? They're not done...so now we don't have a toilet or bathtub. It was
super gross when they first took it out because there was a whole bunch
of water underneath that wasn't still at all because of all the
bugs-wormy things underneath...gross, not to mention the moth covered
walls. Oh yea, this is going to be fun! Our Landlord showed us this
secret hallway that connects our apartment to the one downstairs which
nobody uses so the landlord uses to store stuff. So we've been using
that for showering and such. So one day we decide to go down there
before we leave for the day to use the bathroom and then just got out
that way so we of course lock the door behind us. Well, when we come
home our door won't open...yea. so apparently my companion deadlocks the
door every night and forgot to unlock it this morning...and it just so
happens that the landlord doesn't have a key to the other door...so I
spent about 30 minutes on a chair with my head and arms in this tiny
window above the door with a broom whacking at the deadbolt until it
finally came undone...yea, we were a little late for DPS that night.
Something
I learned from personal study this month is about Christ. I finished
Luke and was studying about when He suffered in the Garden. Something I
thought about was when he asked the Father if it were possible if He
would find another way. Christ is our perfect example. He knew
cognitively (side note, I think that's the most gaoji word I've used in a
while) what He had to do but couldn't imagine what it actually felt
like. Even our perfect Savior couldn't help but cry out and ask if
there was another way. In life we all face challenges and hardships and
it's okay to ask if there's another way, if we really have to go
through it. But, just like the Savior, we have to be willing to accept
the will of the Father because He know what's best. But God won't let
us do things alone. If we cry out to Him, He will send us angels to
comfort and strengthen us.
General Conference was A-mazing!!!
Something
really cool that happened during the spiritual share of the English
party. So we'd been trying during the meeting to get the #BecauseHeLives
movie onto the big screen but it wasn't working and so we decided to
just have everyone pull out their phones and split up into groups and
have everyone watch it that way. It was super cool and amazing to see
everyone in their little groups watching it. As soon as the first one
started the spirit instantly filled the room. After some were done they
started watching the others that popped up such as #BecauseofHim. It was
a really sweet experience with the initiative.
Well, that's about it for this week! Love you all! Jia You!
