Ok to start I feel like this week flew by and I can't even remember what really happened. We were able to see a good amount of less-active people and help them start to come back. We helped one lady start working on her coffee addiction. Little by little she is allowing Heavenly Father to help her with her goal.
Also, this week we found out that we would be doing service for Pearl Harbor. So we get there and all we did was sweep a little bit and then they fed us lunch. I felt like we didn't really do much to deserve food but we gratefully accepted. Speaking of food... I am almost back to the same weight that I came out at! Yay serving on Oahu where its less local. My companion was sick for a few days but she is back to healthy! While she was sick I was able to go on exchanges with one of the other sisters that lives with us. We covered both hers and my area for a few hours. We went and visited some of her families and then we went and knocked doors and were able to find a super nice lady, Paula, who loved the prayer we left with her and wants to know more about the church... so I'll let you know more later of what happens. This Sunday, a lot of our investigators didn't come to church after they said that they would. The Spirit though made up the difference, yes I was sad that not too many people came but it was a really good day because I just kept feeling the Spirit. And we were able to see some people that we don't usually have time to see.
As you can see not too much visible work was done this week. I learned that sometimes the work and success out here cannot be measured. Do I wish that we had taught more lessons, seen more people? Yes but sometimes it's not about all the numbers but about helping the one. This week I was able to help one. And that one makes all the difference. Like the saying goes, "One drop raises the ocean."
This week I am blessed to see miracles. To be a part of miracles. To know that I am here for a purpose. I know that Heavenly Father knows me and loves me. Because I know this I will always have a reason to be happy. As Thomas S. Monson (our prophet today) said, "Heavenly Father simply loves us!" There is nothing we can do to have His love cease. Because I was first loved, I too love. I love you all! Aishitiru! Ofa atu! Mahal kita! Te amo! Nga lungse kom! Saleng he o! Ai eong ngonuk! Poku poku! Yokwe yuk! Alofa ia te oe! Aloha wau ia te oe!
Love Always,
Sister Cassidy Lang
P.S. by next week we will know transfer news.
