This week has been super crazy with
stuff. A lot of weird things has
happened to me, like I learned how to solve a rubric's cube... ha-ha
but other stuff even cooler, funnier and weirder than that has happened!! Hope you guys are enjoying the weather and the
snow there!!! It has been 80 to 85 degrees this week :) Can you guys send me
some pictures of like the activities we do there those are the pictures the
people here like to see the most! They love the pictures of KY ha-ha everyone
freaks out when they see them! He is such a stud! :)
So last
night I was doing intersection contacting while Elder Gish called people
and tried to get the week set up. So we were just at an intersection and I was
riding in a circle talking to people and trying to get their number so we could
set up a time to meet with them and one guy, when I reached out to shake his
hand, he wasn’t really sure what to do so he started to massage my hand.... ha-ha
it was so funny and he just kept rubbing it the whole time I was talking to
him, in the middle of the road... ha-ha then another guy started talking to me
in a language that was not Chinese!! At least I hope it wasn't ha-ha I didn’t
understand anything he was saying. Then he said "what’s your name" in
English and to clarify that's what he said I repeated back "what’s
my name?" Then he said "what’s my name" so I said confused
"What’s your name? “Then he said "what’s your name? “This went on
back and forth for a while I was super confused because he just kept saying whatever
I would say then the light turned green and he said bye and just rode
off...It was so funny and weird! Ha-ha super funny! Later that night we went to
a less active members house for dinner and I gave my first blessing
in Chinese!!! It was scary ha-ha. I am also getting used to feeling
awkward and just going with it :) haha I can just kind of go with it now and
make the other person feel even more awkward than I do :)
I have had to start taking the lead
in the lessons lately and it is super hard when you know as little Chinese as I
do. We were teaching this kid named brother lai and Elder Gish had me take over
and I had no idea what they were talking about but I just started to talk. Ha-ha
I asked him a question and what I had said was exactly what he needed and
wanted to hear and led right into what we were planning on talking about, it
was crazy. Then Elder Gish told me to prepare a lesson for Brother Liu and when
Brother Liu came to the church it wasn't the same Brother Liu that I
was expecting when I prepared the lesson.... and this Brother Liu was an
inactive member and hadn't come to church in a while! So I decided to
just stick with it see what happened. Through most of the lesson he had
tears in his eyes and the spirit was so strong and he ended up coming to church
yesterday! It was awesome!
The lord works in mysterious
ways and sometimes, we might not know exactly why things are happening the they
are but if you put your trust in the Lord and keep moving forward things will
work out a lot better than if you do it by yourself, because he knows what you
are going through so if you will turn to him and let him help you through it
you will be able to do anything!
I love you guys hope everything is
going good there! Things are awesome here!!
Love Elder Roberts
