anyway........
MY NEW COMPANION IS: SISTER KOMATSU
ISN'T SHE JUST THE CUTEST THING EVER????
No, she is not taiwanese... she is HAWAIIAN. but she is japanese.... if that makes sense (: haha
I LOVE TAIDONG!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE BEING IN THIS AREA, and I know that God calls us to specific places. Recently I have been thinking about missions, and how everyone's is so different, and how amazing missionaries we have here. And I was thinking, that as I approach the end of my mission, a lot of people, talking about the future will say that I will be a sister training leader, etc. And I think that while that would be fun, and a great growing experience. I know that Heavenly Father is in charge and I am meant to be wherever I am meant to be. And with who I am meant to be with too. I think about when I was a younger missionary... who my companions were amazing, and they definitely could have been sister training leaders, etc. but they weren't they were my companion and I am so grateful they were! And I was thinking about how much our companions need us! We get to help them more personally. I am just so happy to be here sharing the gospel whatever place the Lord has put me, or position. I think that that took me a while to understand in my mind. But I thought that I would share (:
Another thing that was a big confirmation for me to follow the spirit is that we were riding along and we passed by these white people with backpacks... and we said hi and then we went to go visit our RC and then she ended up not being home so we were riding to our next place and passed by them again.... and said hi again. And then after we passed by I just had this feeling, like you need to go back. And I literally let out a sigh. I usually don't like talking to white people because english is hard. Sometimes, I am just not very good. haha, And so my companion came over and I was like, do you think they need help? and she said I don't know. And so then we had to go back, and follow the spirit. And it turns out they were lost, and didn't speak chinese, and it was hot and no one else could help them.... except for someone who could speak english, and chinese, and we were able to help them find the bread and breakfast place they were staying at. They were from germany and hadn't even heard of us or the church before! So cool, we got to give them an english tract... another miracle that we even had one! And it was something small. But something that was just like, that I know that I can trust the spirit, and when it comes again, it gets easier and easier to recognize. Doesn't mean that it is easier to follow. But I hope that I can continue! I want to be captained by christ... In my personal study I was able to write down all the weaknesses, and things that I want to change, and I am going to work hard and trust that God will help those things to become strengths! I am excited.
I love you all!!! I hope you continue to follow the spirit.
RECENTLY I HAVE A GOAL TO BE RIGHTEOUSLY IMPULSIVE. haha, it has been working out well so far, we have been seeing a lot more opportunities to serve and teach and meet people. I GUESS YOU COULD ALSO CALL THAT COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO EVEN THE SMALLEST WHISPER OF THE SPIRIT. haha
it is very exciting, i hope that i make this a good habit.
you will be happy and surprised to see the miracles. that otherwise you would just walk past. and never even know.
LOVE SISTER WALKER
